The DFC-0115 is an advanced, precision 
15 step power factor control and metering 
device, which continuously matches the 
target cosø value of the load. 
Installation and configuration of the DFC-
0115 is very simple thanks to the auto-
learning function.  

Each step output supports single-phase, 
two-phase, and three-phase connection of 
capacitors and reactors.  

 

 

 

Electrical equipment should be installed only 

by qualified specialist. No responsibility is 
assured by the manufacturer or any of its 
subsidiaries for any consequences resulting 
from the non-compliance to these 
instructions.  

  Check the unit for cracks and damages due 

to transportation. Do not install damaged 
equipment. 

  Do not open the unit. There is no 

serviceable parts inside. 

  Fuses of fast type with a maximum rating of 

6A must be connected to the power supply 
and phase voltage inputs, in close proximity 
of the unit. 

 

  Disconnect all power before working on 

equipment.

 

  When the unit is connected to the network 

do not touch terminals. 

 

  Short circuit terminals of unused current 

transformers. 

 

  Any electrical parameter applied to the 

device must be in the range specified in the 
user manual.

 

  Do not try to clean the device with solvent or 

the like. Only clean with a dump cloth. 

 

  Do not allow water to come in the unit. 

 

  Verify correct terminal connections before 

applying power.

 

  Only for front panel mounting.

 

 

Before Installation: 

  Read the user manual carefully, 

determine the correct connection 
diagram.   

  Remove all connectors and mounting 

brackets from the unit, then pass the 
unit through the mounting opening.   

  Put mounting brackets and tighten. Do 

not tighten too much, this can break 
the enclosure.   

  Make electrical connections with plugs 

removed from sockets, then place 
plugs to their sockets.   

  Make sure to use adequate fuses.  

  Do not subject the unit to water spill. 

 

Below conditions may damage the 
device:

 

 

  Incorrect connections.   

  Incorrect power supply voltage.  

  Voltage at measuring terminals 

beyond specified range.   

  Current at measuring terminals 

beyond specified range.  

  Overloaded or short circuited relay 

output terminals. 

 

Below conditions may cause abnormal 
operation: 

  Power supply voltage below minimum 

acceptable level.  

  Power supply frequency out of 

specified limits   

  Phase order of voltage inputs not 

correct. (Without auto-correct function)  

  Current transformers not matching 

related phases. (Without auto-correct 
function) 

  Incorrect current transformer polarity. 

(Without auto-correct function)  

  Inappropriate delay for switch on, 

switch off delays of steps.

SAFETY NOTICE 
Failure to follow below 
instructions will result in 
death or serious injury

 

 

INSTALLATION

 

 

Current transformers must 
be used for current 
measurements. No direct 
connection allowed.
