Safety instructions Do not connect the Transceiver to other voltage sources than a standard 9 volt battery type 6LR61/PP3 Ensure that the battery is connected correctly. The Transceiver contains a radio transmitter and receiver which must not be used where the use of radio transmitters or other electronic devices is prohibited. WARNING! All work related to the EXCOUNT-II ́s sensors and the surge arresters shall be made with disconnected and earthed conductors. Follow all regulations and rules stated by international or national safety regula- tions. Normally, the EXCOUNT-II ́s sensors and the surge arresters operate at a high voltage. Therefore they must be installed in such a way that only qualified personnel has access to them. 3 2501en EXCOUNT-II Users Manual EXCOUNT-II is an advanced surge arrester monitor for effectively, reliably and safety monitoring and recording surges on high voltage electrical networks. EXCOUNT-II incorporates a sensor, which is mounted on the surge arrester, a transceiver, for remote reading and a PC-program (Windows 95/98/2000/ME and NT). This users manual desribes the functions of EXCOUNT-II to give you total control over surge monitoring. Table of contents 1. Using the transceiver Description of the buttons 4 Normal maintenance 4 2.

Fit a new 9 volt battery type 6LR61/PP3. Press the button on the front panel and verify that the transceiver powers up and that the stand-by menu appears. Press the button and verify that the transceiver powers down. Using this manual together with the transceiver and familiarize yourself with the different menus and how they are used. Particulary ensure that the date and clock on the Transceiver are set correctly. Load the EXCOUNT-II software onto your PC and famliarize yourself with its use by reading the individual HELP files within each respective section. Installation/unistallation of software Installation of software Insert the CD into your computer. Press the START button in lower left corner Select SETTINGS then CONTROL PANEL Double-click on the icon ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS Select ADD NEW PROGRAMS Follow the instructions on the screen Uninstalling of software Press the START button in lower left corner Select SETTINGS then CONTROL PANEL Double-click on the icon ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS Browse to the EXCOUNT-II software and click REMOVE 6 2501en EXCOUNT-II Users Manual Administration of Sensors Fit the sensor to the arrester as described in the installation instructions supplied with it. Record the following details as specified in the EXCOUNT-II HELP system for administration: station data arrester data EXCOUNT-II data Input this data into the software as described in the HELP system. IMPORTANT! After installation of a new sensor and input of the adminis- tration details, an initial reading must always be made to establish a link between the administration details in the PC software and the sensor on site. Connect the transceiver to the PC via the data cable Download the sensor’s ID from the EXCOUNT-II software into the Transcei- ver. IMPORTANT! Check that the date and time on the Transceiver are correct, otherwise set them as described in this manual. Note! If this is not done the date stamp from the sensor will be incorrect. Before going to site, check the Transceiver’s battery status. If necessary, install a new battery. Once at site, individually check that it is possible to make contact with each sensor. This is most easily done by taking a leakage current mea- surement as described in this manual. If the sensor is not connected properly, an error code will be displayed on the Transceiver. If desired, a full set of measurements can be made for reference and then transferred to the PC software as described in the HELP system for Transfer data. Getting started 7 2501en EXCOUNT-II Users …

Excount II Functional Description This product is a measurement system, which contains two main parts: • A permanent mounted Sensor • A handheld Transceiver They use a short-range wireless system operating at 916,5MHz (±200kHz) for communicating with each other. • Sensor: The energy system contains solar cells, field probe and a 9V battery used to distribute power via voltage regulators to the sensor system, the processing unit (ATMEL 90S2313) and the RF device (RFM TR1000). The sensor System measures AC-current, AC-voltage and impulse current and distributes the serial data via the processing unit to the RF-device. The processing unit converts the data to a suitable format. The RF-device contains a RFM TR1000-hybrid-transceiver, which operates at 916,5MHz whith on-off keyed (OOK) modulation. The antenna is made as a trace (printed circuit stub) on a printed circuit board. The antenna is matched to approx. 50Ω. The electronics are mounted on a 4-layer PCB, which includes ground plane. • Transceiver: The energy system contains a 9V battery used to distribute power via voltage regulators to the PC-interface, the processing unit (ATMEL 90S2313) and the RF device (RFM TR1000). The PC-interface contains a processor and a serial PC-interface. The processor distributes the serial data via the processing unit to the RF-device.

Summaries 1.1 Technical report summary The tests reported in this document have been performed to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of FCC Part 15 Section 15.249 rules for transmitters in band 902 - 928 MHz. This report contains measurement data from tests performed at DELTA in Denmark, a FCC listed and DANAK accredited test laboratory. 1.1.1 Applicable FCC rules for test 47 CFR Part 15, Subpart C - Intentional Radiators §15.207 Conducted limits §15.209 Radiated emission limits, general requirements §15.215 Additional provisions to the general radiated emission limitations §15.249 Operation within the bands 902 - 928 MHz, 2400 - 2583.5 MHz, 5725 - 5850 MHz, and 24.0 - 24.25 GHz. The methods and procedures have been applied as specified in §15.31 Measurements standards. This points to the following procedure, used during the measurements in this report: ANSI C63.4:1992 Methods of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emis- sions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz. Furthermore, the requirements of the following have been applied: § 15.33 Frequency range of radiated measurements § 15.35 Measurement detector functions and bandwidths.

The test results relate only to the specimen tested. VS/blj DANAK-196231 DELTA-E500087-2 Page 6 of 11 2. Test specimen The test object EXCOUNT-II is one part of a two part system, consisting of a "Sensor" and a "Transceiver". The sensor is installed on a surge arrester, used to protect high volt- age power system utilized by a public utility. The sensor captures data like lighting intensity. The sensor is powered by solar cells, backed by electrical field sensors and backed by an internal battery. The sensor will lis- ten for a few seconds every approximately 10 seconds if a transceiver is polling it for data. The sensor has a fixed internal antenna. The transceiver is a hand held battery powered device. It is carried to the vicinity of a surge arrester by an operator. He will activate it to start polling the sensor. The sensor will then transfer captured data to the transceiver. The transceiver has a fixed internal an- tenna.
