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 qualied personnel has access to them.
32501en EXCOUNT-II Users ManualEXCOUNT-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 contents1.

62501en EXCOUNT-II Users ManualAdministration of SensorsFit the sensor to the arrester as described in the installation instructions supplied with it. Record the following details as specied in the EXCOUNT-II HELP system for administration: station data arrester dataEXCOUNT-II dataInput 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 cableDownload 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
