Thank you
Congratulations on selecting the intelligent BN0500 power strip from
Bachmann’s BlueNet series. From the moment of installation, the various
products in the Bachmann BlueNet range will deliver you a high level of
costeffectiveness. The various modules offer you the best conditions for
setting up an optimized energy management system. Before starting to use this
product please read the entire operating instructions and observe all
operational and safety notices to ensure safe operation.
Safety Information
Use only in indoor, well ventilated and dry areas.
Never use the power strip immediately after bringing it into a warm room from
a cold one.
The condensation this creates can, in some cases, cause a shortcircuit and
destroy the product. It also presents a fatal electrocution hazard!
The power cable of the power strip must be neither repaired nor replaced. If
the power cable is damaged, the power strip must be replaced.
Ensure when selecting the installation site that no high humidity, high
temperatures (see Technical Data), moisture, solvents, flammable gases, dust
or vapors are present. The heat generated during operation must be dissipated.
The power strip may be operated only when connected to power socket protected
by a 16A or a 32A fuse.
The correct rated current for the respective variant can be taken from the
product label. Do not exceed the maximum power transmission (see Technical
Data). If the power strip shows outward signs of wear from transport or
improper handling, it must not be put into operation or must be put out of
operation immediately and must be replaced or sent back to the manufacturer
for repair.
The BN0500 PDU does NOT have a disconnect device for all-pole mains
disconnection. The socket outlet from which the PDU is operated must be easily
accessible.
Danger of fatal electric shock:
Never carry out work on the power strip with wet hands.
Risk of finger crushing during installation or mounting work.
BlueNet BN0500 is a maintenance-free system.
There is no need to open the housing during installation.
Do not use aggressive substances such as spirits or acids to clean the unit,
as these can damage it.
To clean the housing use a slightly moistened cloth.
Observing these notices is part of our terms of warranty.
**** The product fulfills the requirements of the valid European and national
directives and standards.
The CE conformity has been documented, and the corresponding certificates are
on file at the manufacturer’s location.
Intended Use
The BlueNet BN0500 power strip is intended solely for the common connection of
different electrical devices in accordance with the permitted specifications
(see Technical Data). The unit also gives a continuous display of the power
consumption of the connected equipment for consumption monitoring purposes.
Uses other than that specified above are not permitted and may lead to damage
to the power strip. No modification may be made to any part of the power
strip. Any such modification forfeits all warranty liability.
Installation
For fitting in a cabinet, mount the fixing brackets onto the power strip.
Place the brackets in the desired position on the power strip, insert and
tighten screws.
The fixing brackets must be fitted in the same position on both sides.
Position the power strip on the mounting profile of the cabinet.
Fixing materials are not included.
Installation Options
The versatile mounting brackets can be fitted to the power strip in four
different positions (each rotated by 90°).
This facilitates installation of the power strip according to individual
needs.
Before interrupting the power supply to your equipment, make certain that the
equipment has been correctly switched off.
Insert the power strip’s plug into the power socket.
Press button (1) to activate the display (arrow).
The display will turn off again after 5 minutes.
Now you may plug your equipment into the power strip.
For voltage and current consumption… see Technical Data.
Display
The values shown in the display fulfill Accuracy class 2.
The following values can be read from the display.
Display Overview
-
kW – Power measurement
Electrical output of all connected devices taking into account the phase shift. -
Hz – Frequency
Current power frequency. -
kWh – Kilowatt-hour
Records the power consumed by all connected devices. The counter reading is stored and can be reset to zero using the Reset button. -
V – Power supply voltage
Current voltage of the power supply. -
Phase angle
Displays the phase shift in the power supply. -
A – Amps
Current drawn at the present time by all connected devices.
Operation
Activate display
Press the button (1) to reactivate the display. Button (1) must be pressed for
at least one second. The display will now light up.
Resetting the energy counter
By pressing button (1) for at least 10 seconds, the energy counter will be
reset to zero. This process can be carried out at any time during operation
(the connected devices do not have to be shut off). The displayed kWh counter
reading is stored every 30 minutes and retained even if the power strip is
unplugged. If necessary, write down the current counter reading first.
Press the button (1) until the kWh counter reading (arrow) is at zero.
The kWh counter resumes counting immediately after you release the button (1).
Near overload alarm
When the load reaches 90% of the rated load for the power strip the display
will start flashing.
The alarm will remain even if the load is back under 90% of the rated load.
To quit the alarm, press the button (1) for 3 seconds.
The alarm has been quit.
What to do if…
Display no longer shows all readings.| Unplug power strip from power supply
and plug back in. Strip re-starts.
Connected equipment must be switched off before strip is unplugged.
