About this file

This is a product brochure for the ISOMETER® iso685, an insulation monitoring device manufactured by Bender GmbH & Co. KG. The document describes the device's features, benefits, installation options, and technical capabilities for electrical system insulation monitoring applications.

The iso685 continuously monitors insulation resistance of systems to earth and includes advanced measurement capabilities for voltage, frequency, and capacitance (V/f/C measurement). Key features include early detection of insulation faults, scalable history memory for fault analysis, the ability to locate faults without switching off the system, and an integrated web server for remote parameter access and data analysis. The device offers multiple installation variants: standard mounting on top-hat rail or with screw fastening, iso685-D with integrated display, and iso685-S with remote display capability. Additional specialized variants include the iso685-B with decoupling switch for mains disconnection in coupled networks, iso685-P with integrated test current generator for automatic or manual insulation fault location, isoRW685W-D(-B) for railway applications tested to DIN EN 50155, isoxx685W variants with increased shock and vibration resistance and expanded temperature range (-40 to +70°C), and isoHR685W for submarine cable monitoring in oil and gas applications. The device features a commissioning wizard with predefined measurement profiles (power circuits, control circuits, generator, high capacitance, inverter configurations), configurable inputs and outputs, Modbus TCP protocol support, and ISOnet capability enabling operation of up to 20 linked IT systems in coupled networks through Ethernet connectivity with automatic measuring sequence regulation.

Web server The devices in the iso685 product family have an integrated web server. This enables convenient access to all device parameters from PCs or mobile devices as well as analysing the data recorded by the iso685.

Interfaces The integrated Ethernet interface supports data exchange both within the Bender product portfolio (BCOM) and with third-party devices or software packages (Modbus TCP). Configurable inputs and outputs allow simple exchange of status information or measured values. Sensors for insulation fault location (EDS) are integrated via a serial interface.

Locate insulation faults quickly and easily The iso685-...-P device variant has an integrated test current generator. Together with the insulation fault locators of the ISOSCAN family (e.g. EDS44x and EDS309x) and the corresponding measuring current transformers, a system for insulation fault location can easily be set up.

This enables the faulty part of the system to be localised quickly. Insulation fault location is carried out during operation; it is not necessary to switch off the system for this purpose. Information about the fault location is displayed in a central location.

Installation variants

The iso685 is available in different installation variants:

▪ For mounting on a top-hat rail or with a screw fastening
▪ iso685-D with integrated display
▪ iso685-S with remote display for mounting in the switch cabinet door or

as a combination of basic device on the top-hat rail and operating unit in the switch cabinet door

The FP200 display unit is mounted in the front using retaining clips and connected to the displayless base unit via a RJ45 connection cable supplied. This installation variant allows the device to be displayed in the front of the switch cabinet without having to install the mains connection with up to 1,000 V.

Insulation monitoring As individual as your needs

Standardised insulation monitoring in coupled systems

The variants with the identifier ‘-B’ or ‘-P’ are suitable for use in coupled networks. The iso685 can actively and independently disconnect itself from the network to be monitored via an internal mains disconnector. This makes it possible to operate several insulation monitoring devices in coupled systems without them influencing each other when the coupling switches are closed.

This function, which Bender calls ISOnet, corresponds to the REDC (Remote enabling and disabling command).

All iso685s working in ISOnet mode are connected to each other via Ethernet and regulate the measuring sequence fully automatically. This enables ISOnet operation with up to 20 linked IT systems.
