  Single and three-phase monitoring modules. Examples for such modules for the
MEDICS® system are: UMC…, USC…, UFC… and/or EDS… insulation fault loca-
tion systems.
  Communication between these components via the BMS bus (two-wire connec-
tion).
  The connection of third-party systems by means of protocol converters (gate-
ways) or via digital inputs and relay outputs.

The real strength of MEDICS® lies in the communication between all components and
the resulting information for the user. The functionality of the equipment is continu-
ously monitored. Operating states, irregularities, faults and device failures are
displayed. This means high operational reliability of the installation for the user.
3.2 Characteristics
On its backlit display (4 x 20 characters), the MK2430 displays messages from all BMS
bus devices assigned via alarm addresses. As well as being used as a standalone
indicator, the MK2430 also supports parallel indication of several MK2430 in different
rooms.
In the event of an alarm message, the yellow "WARNING" LED or the red "ALARM" LED
lights up and the message appears on the LC display in plain text format. At the same
16 MK2430_D00129_02_M_XXEN/09.2019
System description
time there is an acoustic signal (acknowledgeable/can be muted). If a second message

is received while the first is still pending, the acoustic signal will sound again and the
messages appear alternately on the LC display. The address of the device triggering the
alarm can also be requested. The acoustic signal sounds again once a configurable
period of time has elapsed (repetition can be deactivated).
Internal device parameters (alarm addresses, test addresses…) and the parameteri-
sation of EDS and RCMS systems can be accessed via the menu system. The MK2430 can
be used as a master device in installations with several IT and EDS systems.
The "TEST" button can be used to check the function of the associated devices such as
insulation monitoring devices, LIM (Line Isolation Monitors) or GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupters). A message will only be displayed on the MK2430 on which the
"TEST" button has been pressed. The test and its individual evaluations are carried out
sequentially. Finally, a message appears that the test was successful or a fault message
will be output.
The MK2430 has the following features:

  Display of operating status, warning and alarm messages in accordance with
IEC 60364-7-710, DIN VDE 0100-710 and other standards

  Backlit clear LC text display (4 x 20 characters)
  Standard texts for messages in 20 national languages
  200 freely programmable message texts (with TMK-SET PC software)
  Bus technology for easy installation and reduced fire load
  Acoustic alarm (can be acknowledged or muted)
  Adjustable via menu (German/English): MK2430 basic parameters
and via BMS bus: EDS46x, EDS47x, EDS49x, RCMS460, RCMS470, RCMS490
  Version for flush mounting and surface mounting
  Easy commissioning due to predefined alarm text messages
  12 digital inputs (MK2430-11 only)
  History memory with real-time clock to store 250 warnings and alarms

3.3 Function
3.3.1 Display/operating elements
The backlit display features four lines of 20 characters each. It supplies medical and
technical personnel with clear and unambiguous information to help them make
decisions. Every alarm message comprises three lines which appear spontaneously and
three additional lines which can be displayed at the touch of a button. The fourth line
contains status information (i.e. number of messages, test procedures, menu infor-
mation). Three LEDs are located above the text display. They indicate:
Normal operation (green), warnings (yellow) or alarms (red).
Five buttons are available for acknowledging or muting alarms and warnings, testing
assigned devices and for the menu system.
3.3.2 Programmable messages

Standard message texts can be activated by enabling alarm addresses. These texts are
available in 20 languages. Alarm addresses can be enabled via the device menu system
(without PC). Individual message texts, each comprising 6 lines of 20 characters can be
programmed with the TMK-SET PC software.
An LED (yellow or red) and an acoustic signal can be assigned to each message. For this
purpose, the PC is connected to the USB interface or BMS bus (RS-485).
3.3.3 History memory

Warnings and alarms are written to the history memory. 250 text messages can be
stored. Each subsequent message overwrites the oldest message in the history memory
(message 251 overwrites message 1 etc.). The history memory can be read via the
operating menu or the TMK-HISTORY PC software.

4.2 Installing the device

4.2.1 Overview of enclosure variants
– The MK2430 is installed in a flush-mounting enclosure. With a special mount-
ing kit it is also suitable for installation in a panel or cavity wall.
– MK2430A in surface-mounting enclosure
4.2.2 Dimension diagram flush-mounting enclosure
Fig. 4.1: MK2430 in flush-mounting enclosure

Front panel cutout: 161 x 77 mm
The MK2430 is fixed in its enclosure with brackets. In addition, the MK2430
can be secured in its enclosure with screws. For this purpose, markings for
the drilling holes are prepared at the back of the front plate (drilling hole:
3 mm ∅, lowering from the outside: 6 mm ∅). The versions MK2430S-11,
MK2430S-12 and MK2430H-12 are mounted with 2 screws in the in-wall
casing.
When screw mounting, make sure that the front panel does not bend!

Cavity wall mounting Panel mounting
4.2.2.3 Mounting brackets

By means of the mounting brackets (attached on each side) the MK2430 snaps into the
flush-mounting enclosure. Two mounting brackets (M) are used for additional support.
They are needed in particular if the MK2430 has to be fixed into an existing flush-mounting
enclosure (e.g. MK2418) which is not intended for snap-on mounting. The "Complete
mounting kit (Art. No. B95101000)" is required for this.
24 MK2430_D00129_02_M_XXEN/09.2019

4.3 Connecting the device

4.3.1 Safety instructions
Danger of electric shock!

Follow the basic safety rules when working with electricity. Observe the
DANGER information on rated voltage and supply voltage specified in the
technical data!
Connect the MK2430 exclusively according to the wiring diagram in this

chapter. Do not make any changes to the internal wiring. Non-compli-
DANGER ant connection or arbitrary changes can lead to serious malfunctions or
even the complete failure of the MK2430.
The device contains components that can be damaged by electrostatic

discharges (ESD). When work activities are carried out at when the device
CAUTION is open, the safety precautions concerning the dissipation of electrostatic
electricity have to be observed.
4.3.2 Notes on the connection

  Connect the MK2430 to the supply voltage (terminals U2/V2).
– If you are supplying the MK2430 with a DC voltage of 24 V: Take the line volt-
age drop into account if you are using long supply cables for the supply volt-
age.
– Consider the maximum permissible cable lengths for the supply voltage U2/V2
when using an AN450 or AN410 power supply unit (refer to „Technical data“).
  The connection to the internal BMS bus is made via the terminals A/B. Connect
the BMS bus as described in the "BMS bus" instruction leaflet. Use a shielded and
twisted cable with a diameter of at least 0.8 mm for the interface line (e.g. J-Y(St)Y
nx2x0.8). Connect the shield to PE (earth) at one end. Please note that, when rout-
ing the supply voltage Us, a 4-wire cable (2 x BUS, 2 x Us) with suitable cross sec-
tion is required.
  Set the terminating resistor for the BMS bus on the "Term" DIP switch. Factory set-
ting: off.
2
  MK2430-11 only: Use cables with a cross section of at least 0.75 mm when con-
necting the digital inputs and the relay output. The maximum cable length per
connection is 500 m.

Make sure that the MK2430 power supply is isolated from PE. If this is not
taken into consideration and if a PC is connected to the USB interface, the
CAUTION MK 2430 device and the PC may be damaged.
Terminating resistor:
If two or more devices are connected to each other via the BMS bus, the bus
1 line must be terminated at both ends with a resistor (R = 120 Ω). (The resistors
can be activated via DIP switch on the MK2430 and alarm indicator and opera-
tor panel).

During the test the status line displays "TEST". The message "TEST" flashes if the
message being displayed has been caused by the test.
The assigned devices are tested one after another. The MK2430 automatically evaluates
the messages that appear. Once the process is completed, either a common message
about a successful test or an error message is displayed.
If more than one device has been tested, a separate error code will be displayed for each
device failing the test.

Information on error codes

  For MK2430 devices operating as slaves on the BMS bus a timeout of 50 seconds
applies to error code 0 and 14.

  Error code 14 occurs when the slave is requested to carry out a test. The test com-
mand, however, cannot be sent because MK2430 was not queried. This may be
the case if the address gap upstream of the MK2430 is so large that the master
does not scan the MK2430. (refer to "BMS bus" operating manual). This error code
is not so much an indication of a faulty ISOMETER® but that the BMS bus system is
faulty.

Alarm texts for digital inputs

A neutral or specific alarm message can be assigned to every digital input. A neutral
alarm message indicates the alarm, the channel and the address of the device
triggering the alarm. In comparison, a specific alarm message (medical) signals a fixed
pre-programmed alarm, e.g. "oxygen".
Assign the inputs according to the table „Neutral and specific alarm messages“ on
page 63.
The TMK-SET PC software can be used to assign other messages to individual or all
digital inputs.
If freely programmable alarm messages need to be displayed on a different MK2430 or

on an alarm indicator and operator panel, the alarm messages programmed for the
display device must be identical.
The alarm messages in the following table are sent to other MK… or alarm indicator and
operator panels via BMS bus and displayed there in plain text format.
