DCRM demands…
It injects 100 A DC in
breaker contacts and
measures the millivolt
drop generated
across contacts
dynamically. It relays
it to travel channel of
HISAC 2406.

By using ‘F’ menu - Select appropriate current range on current channels to be used.
By using ‘G’ menu - Enable Velocity.
Enter actual mechanism travel or use AUTOPLACE option for finding out travel.
Enter points P1 & P2 and P3 & P4 for obtaining closing & tripping velocities
respectively.
DCRM SETTINGS
DCRM resistance output is to be connected to TY
channel of HISAC.
DCRM ( for DCRM 100B only ) current output is
to be connected to TB channel of HISAC.
Go to ‘G’ menu of HISAC. DO NOT enter any
travel in TY or TB channels; and go directly to
AMPLITUDE option.
DCRM SETTINGS
Keep CAL/TEST toggle switch in CAL position.
By using MAX pot set the count on TY channel to
236. Keep the MIN pot in fully anticlockwise
direction ALWAYS.
In case of DCRM 100B, by using MAX pot set the
count on TB channel to 236. Keep the MIN pot in
fully anticlockwise direction ALWAYS.
Keep toggle switch in TEST mode.
Make MCB ‘ON’.
Travel trace full of spikes and / Check travel TDX and it’s mounting.
or irregularities
The DOs :
Clean the area of connection.
Ensure firmness of connections.
Observe proper polarity on current channel.
Main body, and not only pointed edge; of wiper should slide on the
element of TDX.
Proper alignment of TDX & firmness of fixture.
Margin for overshoot & rebound of contact on TDX.
Correct polarity of connections from TDX to terminal box & from there
to HISAC.
Remove earthing from both sides CB before operation .
The DOs :
Ensure CB is open before taking CO operation for DCRM signature.
Ensure READY LED on DCRM 100 is glowing before taking operation.
Ensure that DCRM 100B’s battery is charged and MCB is ON
before taking DCRM signature.
Switch OFF MCB of DCRM 100B after taking DCRM signature.
Ensure proper polarity of C+, C- and V+, V- connections.
Ensure MIN pots of TY & TB are kept fully anticlockwise.
The DOs :
Mark points of connections for repeatability in future.
Power up all instruments for 24 hours, at least once in a month.
Avoid severe vibrations to the instruments.
Keep printer away from dust.
Ensure that the location selected on MB 3.0 for data storage is empty.
Ensure that location selected on MB 3.0 contains data while downloading to
PC.
Switch OFF MB 3.0 immediately after use.
The DON’Ts :
Do not tighten the ‘Ck’ clamps excessively as it may deform the shape &
affect the measurement.
Do not enter any travel for TY & TB channels while used with DCRM.
Do not power ‘ON’ DCRM , if CB is close & ’Ck’ clamps are connected.
Do not add oil /grease of any make to the threads of ‘Ck’ clamp, as it will
affect the measurement.
Do not connect the contact sensing cables to the pole on which
DCRM signature is being taken.
Do not try to open the instrument.
