Description

The insulation monitor RN 5897/300 of the VARIMETER IMD family is a solution for optimal insulation monitoring of modern IT systems. The device can be used in the most flexible way for AC, DC and AC/DC systems. The adjustment of the setting values is simple and user friendly done on 3 rotary switches on the front of the device. Via multicolor LED the device status is indicated easy to read. With a sealable transparent cover the device is protectet against manipulation.
