RS-600 Overview

The RS-600 Syntron Multifunction Test System is an automated laboratory calibrationsystem. The core application of the RS-600 is the testing of field and primary standards.The RS-600 will test these devices with worst case accuracies of 0.02% includingstability. The RS-600 will replace existing standards, references and loading devicesso as to provide a turnkey primary reference system of exceptional accuracy andoptimum efficiency. The RS-600 supports watthour, VARhour and Qhour functionswhich enables testing of multifunction standards and solid state meters.

A major benefit of the RS-600 is its extremely flexible functionality. Althoughdesigned to serve as a primary reference system for testing field and lab standards,various upgrades and accessories allow for the testing of watthour billing meters,voltmeters, ammeters, wattmeters and phase angle meters as well.

The RS-600 can also be upgraded to allow creation of arbitrary waveforms withharmonic noise components. With the RS-600 Control Program, the operator canspecify the harmonic (1 thru 11), the axis (voltage and/or current), and the magnitude(% distortion up to 30% of fundamental). After the waveform is specified, the softwarestores it and the synthesizer will generate that particular arbitrary waveform for testingpurposes. This arbitrary waveform capability allows electric utilities to effectivelyevaluate the performance of solid state meter designs with a full range of testingcriteria.

RS-686 System Computer

The RS-686 controls the entire system and collects all test data. The RS-600 ControlProgram located on the system computer will automate almost all aspects of the testingprocess. Powerful commercial software packages will run on the computer andtransferring data to them is straightforward and quick. The RS-686 can readily beinterfaced to other computers including mainframes and networks. Permanent harddisk storage will be available if test records or other data is to be collected andmaintained within the RS-600. Self-diagnostic tests will isolate most system problemsshould they occur.

The RS-686 contains not only its software, but also the software for all the remainingmodules. Upon power-up and initiation of the control program, the RS-686 transferssoftware to all the other system modules. Updates are handled by updating only thesoftware in the RS-686.

RS-610 System Power Supply

The RS-610 supplies power to all modules except the RS-686. The RS-610 assists inproviding high accuracy in two ways. First, the RS-610 AC couples the power comingin so there is no common ground between modules. This makes it much easier to sendhigh accuracy signals to the various modules. Second, the RS-610 operates at a highfrequency (1khz) making individual power supplies much more compact and easilyshielded both of which are essential for high accuracy.



1-6

RS-611 Syntron Signal Source

The RS-611 Syntron Signal Source generates low level voltage and current signals ofextreme accuracy and extremely low distortion. The test frequency range is 47 to 63Hz in 1 Hz increments. The voltage amplifier can source any voltage from 60 to 600volts with a resolution of one volt increments. The current amplifier can source anycurrent from 0.25 amps to 50 amps with a resolution of 0.25 amps. The test phase anglebetween voltage and current has a range of 0 to 360 degrees in one degree increments.

RS-640 System Connection Module

The RS-640 serves two primary purposes. First, as a data collection module itinterfaces to the pulse outputs of the standards under test and transfers the data to theRS-686 computer. A card from the RS-640 connects directly to the RS-686 computerfor direct memory access. This permits rapid data collection from multiple ofstandards. The RS-640 will interface directly to the Radian RM-1H optical pickupwhich is used to sense the calibration LED on solid state meters. Also, the RS-640 willinterface with the RM-DS Meter Disk Sensor which is used to sense disk rotation whentesting induction meters. The RS-600 base system has two data collection inputchannels. The RS-640/4 upgrade increases the number of channels to four.

The second purpose of the RS-640 is as a Voltage/Current Amplifier connection panel.The voltage and current leads used to connect devices under test stem from this module.In connection diagrams that refer to the RS-640 Voltage/Current Amplifier, theconnection is to this module even though the actual voltage and current amplifiersreside in the RS-611 Syntron Signal Source module. Also any reference to a datacollection module refers to the RS-640.

RS-770 Meter Test Socket (Optional)

The RS-770 permits testing of induction and solid state meters. It features a manual testsocket compatible with all socket based billing meters. The RS-770 has provisions forvoltage and current jumpers that internally route the voltage and current applied to themeter. It comes with a jumper guide to enable quick setup and testing of billing meters.

RS-735 Current Tap Changer (Optional)

The RS-735 automatically changes the taps of manual current ranging standards such asthe IB-10 and the SC-10. It connects to the RS-686 and is controlled by the RS-600Control Program automatically during calibration. The RS-735 has no measurableeffect on error but the burden must be considered when sizing loads and currentamplifiers. The RS-735 has four outputs and a common. The four outputs typicallyconnect to the 1,5,12.5 and 50 ampere taps of the unit under test. One RS-735 is requiredfor each manual ranging standard to be tested. The RS-735 modules may be seriallyconnected together to test multiple non-autoranging standards. The RS-735 is rated for-25 to +75 degrees Celsius so that it may be used in an environmental chamber.

Software Overview

Introduction to the RS-600 Control Program

The RS-600 Syntron Multifunction Test System provides a multitude of testing capabilities.The Control Program is the part of the system that makes the RS-600’s advanced capabilitiesbecome a reality. The Control Program puts the power of custom test program creation in thehands of the operator. The Microsoft Windows-based Control Program provides multitaskingcapability for increased flexibility and efficiency. In addition, the Control Program containsenhanced graphically oriented operations allowing for increased user-friendliness and simplifiedtest program creation.

If the operator of the RS-600 is new to computers then he/she will find this manual easy to followand the Control Program quick to master. If the operator is an experienced computer user thenhe/she will appreciate the logical design of the software and the power of its multitaskingcapabilities. Nevertheless, regardless of the operator’s computer experience, he/she will findthe RS-600 to be an effective as well as powerful laboratory instrument. By design, the powerof this laboratory instrument is at the discretion of the operator via the Control Program.

Microsoft Windows®

Microsoft Windows® is a software package that provides a graphical environmentfor the operation of the computer. Windows provides multitasking capabilitieswhereby more than one operation or program can be operating at the same time. WithMicrosoft Windows®, whatever work is in progress on the computer screen isdisplayed in a “window.” These “windows” may be maneuvered around on thecomputer screen and they may be maximized (enlarged) or minimized (shrunk) by theoperator. The RS-600 Control Program operates under the Windows environment forefficient use of the computer’s capabilities as well as to enhance the simplicity of thesoftware. It is assumed that the user of the RS-600 Control Program has a rudimentaryunderstanding of the Microsoft Windows® operating environment. While great carehas been taken to give as detailed instruction as possible, a detailed overview ofWindows conventions and functionality will not be given. For in-depth instructionon Microsoft Windows®, please consult the operations manual that came with youroriginal Windows diskettes or seek other avenues of Windows training.

The RS-600 Control Program is based on the Windows 95/98 operating systems. Effortsare in process to implement a RS-600 Control Program that will work with Windows 2000,Windows XP, etc. As development advances in this area, all applicable Radian RS-600customers will be notified.

Software Overview

Standard OptionsSpecial settings for devices with limitations not present in the Radian Research lineof electronic watthour standards

• Continuous voltage is for devices that need the voltage to stay applied continuouslyor stabilization. Normally, between test points the voltage and current are rampeddown, as the new point is being setup. With Continuous Voltage checked, the voltagewill stay applied unless the voltage or power factor is changing for the next point.

• High DC Sensitivity is for devices that will report erroneous results if DC is present.This tells the system to clear any DC before running the test point.

• Run Autonull before test is a maintenance procedure that should be performed on aregular basis to clear any traces of transformer core saturation that may have occurredthrough exposure to DC currents. The Autonull procedure takes approximately 5minutes to run.

Onlyfunctions supported by the RS-600 system purchased will appear in the function window.Additional measurement functionality may be procured as a system upgrade.The Function window is where the parameter to be tested along with its pulse factor isselected.

Test View

The Test View window is used for defining and running tests on the devices connected tothe Channel Table. The Test allows for current to vary on one axis and for the Power Factorand Voltage to vary on the other axis. Creation of new and editing of existing Tests isaccomplished respectively via the File New/File Open Test menu selections. The Test Viewmay also be accessed by clicking on the Open Test toolbar icon.

As the test is running, the results and status are updated on the display. If multiple devicesare being tested simultaneously, different channels can be viewed via the View ChannelsChannel # menu choice. Only one channel can be viewed at a time even though multipledevices can be tested simultaneously. Following is an example and overview of theparameters on the Test View.


Software Overview

Power FactorClicking on any of the Power Factor value buttons will cause a window to appear allowingthe operator to specify a desired value for the phase difference between the voltage andcurrent waveforms. The value can be entered directly either in degrees or radians. Thetwo common settings of Unity and 0.5 lagging Power Factor can also be selected byclicking on the appropriate choice.

VoltageClicking on any of the Voltage value buttons will cause a drop down checklist to appearallowing the operator to specify a desired value. The most common choices are availablefor checking. However, any voltage within the RS-600 operating range and resolutioncan be entered by typing the value in on the keyboard and pressing Enter.

CurrentClicking on any of the current value buttons will cause a drop down checklist to appearallowing the operator to specify a desired value. The value can be selected by clickingon it or by directly typing it in and pressing Enter.

TapClicking on any of the Tap buttons will cause a drop down checklist to appear allowingthe operator to specify the desired Current Tap to be used for that particular test point.This is applicable when testing devices with Manual Current Ranging settings in theirDevice View.

FunctionsClicking on this button causes a drop down scroll list to appear allowing the operatorto specify the measurement function being tested for this particular Test. Scrolling tothe desired function then clicking selects that function. Note the distinction betweenthis Function selection and the one encountered in the Device View. Here only onefunction can be selected per Test. In the Device View, all functions supported by thedevice are selected.

Pulse ConstantIf a value is specified by the operator in this field then it will override the value specifiedin the Device View parameters. By leaving the value in this field set a the default 0.0000setting the pulse constant will be automatically read from the Device parameters of thedevice under test. As a general rule to eliminate confusion, the Pulse Constant on theTest View should never be changed from this default setting.

Stabilization TimeIn this field the operator can specify the amount of time that the device is allowed tostabilize before actually running the test. The following are recommended values forvarious standards: RM-10 = 15 seconds typical; RM-11 = 15 seconds typical; SC-10 =60 seconds minimum; Rotating standards = 15 seconds typical.

Test TimeIn this field the operator can specify the amount of time that pulses will be counted fromthe device under test. The following are recommended values for various standards: RM-10 = 30 seconds; RM-11 = 30 seconds; SC-10 = 60 seconds; Rotating standards = 60seconds.
