1 Unpacking
If you are reading this manual then you have evidently begun to unpack the transport container. Continue with
care to prevent any damage to the treated surface or damage to parts which are sensitive to shocks and vibrations.
After unpacking, check that the delivery is complete. The transport container is produced in such a manner that
it ideally protects the product during transport from production to yourself. Therefore, we recommend using it during
future transport of the device. The producer of EPG7 also supplies a practical transport box, into which the
separate generator and accessories (supply adapter, cables, connectors, ) can be placed.

2 Safety instructions
Before first connecting the EPG7, please pay close attention to the following notifications:
The multifunctional generator is equipment supplied by DC voltage from internal NiMH accumulators or from the
external 9V DC source of voltage. Although we pay close attention to safety and each product is tested in this area,
you should comply with similar principles as in the case of other electrical appliances.
The device can be connected to an electrical circuit where the voltage corresponds to the label type. Only use
recommended NiMH accumulators in the system.
Ensure that all power cables are placed in a manner that prevents any damage. Do not place any items on it
and do not locate it in an area where it can be trod on.
Do not remove the protection covers if you are not authorized to do so. Do not intervene into the construction of
the device. During such activities there is a risk of injury from the electric current.
Do not insert any items into the unit and ensure that no liquids get into it. If this happens, immediately
disconnect the unit and call a service technician.

3 Brief description
The EPG7 is a multi-functional, multi-channel, battery supplied generator for AC or DC current or voltage (if the
voltage output card is inserted). The device is primarily designed for testing the protection functions of units in the
RTU7.4, RTU7M and IZP M3Z series. In addition, it can be used as a multi-channel generator of DC currents
during testing and revival in industry.
Digital inputs and outputs are available (part of the voltage output card). Using these, it is possible to simulate
during the protective functions, the status of the power element and to monitor the response of the protection on
the failure record.
The device has a USB2.0 communication interface; the respective SW application for OS Windows is available.

Further technical specifications are mentioned in the following chapters.

3.1

Supply of EPG7

For the supply of EPG7, 4 NiMH accumulators are used, size AA with a capacity of up to 2100mAh. The
recommended model is Sanyo Eneloop (capacity 2000mAh). Using these accumulators, then it is possible to work
for approximately two hours. This applies for the generation of 45mA AC current on three analogue outputs up to a
load of 20 .
In addition, the device can be supplied with an external supply adapter with a stabilized output voltage of 9V
DC. The supplied output must be at least 20W. The external adapter is connected to the EPG7 by the round
supply connector with a diameter of 5.5/2.1mm. The polarity is shown in the following diagram:

The recommended type of external adapter is GS40A09-P1J (9V / 4,45A DC). The supply adapter is not
included in the delivery; the EPG7 is delivered separately. The supply part of the delivery is galvanically separated
from the remaining part. The insulation between the pins of the connecting connector and the pins of analogue
inputs for currents and voltage is 1500V DC over one minute.

3.2

Charger for accumulators

The EPG7 is fitted with an integrated charger for accumulators. The function of the charger is indicated by 4
LED diodes on the front panel (CHARGER section). The signalling of individual statuses are shown in the following

Fault

Description of internal charger statuses:

Disconnected:
The external supply adapter is not connected to the EPG7. The device is only supplied from the accumulators.
Ready for charging or automatic re-charging:
The charger is in this status after successful termination of the previous charging cycle
Pre-charging or quick charging:
If the voltage for one cell in the accumulator is less than 900mV, the charger is switched into the pre-charging
status. During the stated period, the accumulator is charged to 1/5 of the nominal charging current. Then, if the
temperature of the accumulator is within the range 5C to 45C, the charger is transferred to the quick charging
status. The accumulator is then charged at the full value of the charging current. The quick charging is terminated
on the basis of the fulfilment of the criterion V/t or T/t.
Charging of 1/10 of the current at the end of the charging cycle:
If the quick charging is terminated on the basis of the fulfilment of the criterion T/t (the accumulator is charged
to approximately 95% of the capacity) the charger starts to charge the accumulator by 1/10 of the nominal charging
current during the stated period. After expiration of this period, there is termination of the charging cycle. If the fast
charging is terminated on the basis of the criterion V/t the charging of the accumulator is immediately terminated.
Exceeding the thermal limits:
If the charger for generator EPG7 starts to indicate this status, then during the charging the permitted
temperature of the accumulator was exceeded. The charger indicates the most recent status although the charging
is interrupted. As soon as the temperature of the accumulator decreases below the stated limit (45C), the charging
is restored.
Fault:
If the charger is in this status, it means that the accumulator was not charged within the stated time. Another
reason can be if the charging is started when the temperature of the accumulator is outside the stated limits of 5C
to 45C. If the generator is switched into the status where the FILT LED shines and the other LED on the charger
(RDY, CHG, TOC) are OFF and the temperature of the accumulators does not exceed the above mentioned limit,
this is not a fault with the device. In this case, the function of the device charger can be restored by disconnecting
and connecting the supply adapter.
The average time for charging an internal accumulator with a capacity of 2000mAh is approximately 2 hours.

Current outputs

The EPG7 current outputs can generate AC or DC current waveforms in three phases. As the proposed SW
modules, the currents for the device can be generated as follows:
AC or DC. For AC waveforms, it is possible to set only the identical amplitude for all 3 phases from 0 to 45mA
with the step 0.1mA. Between phases, constant phase shifts of 120 are set and the constant frequency of the
generated current of 50Hz is set. For DC waveforms, the generated current amplitude can be set within the range
+/-60mA DC with the step 0.1mA.
AC or DC function generator. For individual outputs, the amplitude, the frequency and phase shift of the
generated current can be set separately. The frequency can be set within the range 40-350Hz with the step 1Hz.
The phase shift within the range 0-360 with step 1.
Generation of the waveform of records from various data formats.
Generation of the waveform according to the default programs for testing the protection. In this case, the
generator cooperates with the setting DO and reading DI.
Current outputs are fitted with protection against damage during the disconnection of the loading loop and also
use the loading impedance measurement. In the case of exceeding the value of the loading impedance for the
stated amplitude of the generated current, the device will start to indicate this status by means of LED AOF on the
front side of the device (STATUS section). The current and voltage outputs (if the voltage card is inserted) are not
galvanically separated (they work towards a common ground). Analogue outputs are galvanically separated from
the digital inputs and outputs on generator EPG7, from the USB communication interface and from the supply
connector for connection of the external adapter.
The technical parameters of current outputs are summarized in the following table:

Digital inputs

The EPG7 generator has four digital inputs. These inputs are used when testing protection when, for example,
the signal is supplied from the TRIP protection relay.
Inputs can be connected as active (excitation of the input by outside contact) or passive (excitation of input by
outside voltage). There are pins with galvanically separated signal voltage of 12V and 24V for the use of digital
inputs in the configuration as active inputs. The internal source of the signalling voltage must be connected from
the menu for the device before use. It is disconnected as default (energy saving when battery operated).
For indicating the excitation of individual inputs, a series of LED DI indication is used which is located on the
front side of the generator (DI/DO section).

Digital outputs

If the EPG7 generator contains a digital output voltage card, the generator will have four DO1-DO4 digital
outputs for controlling external equipment. The digital outputs can be used when testing the protection. One option
is to use for simulating the status of the output element.
Switching on the individual outputs is indicated by four LED DO, which are visible on the front of the EPG7

4 Firmware
The EPG7 software consists of two parts loader and firmware. The loader is the basic equipment for the
device and serves for loading and updating FW.
Depending on the type of licence, the firmware for the generator provides the user with further functions which
are not part of the basic version.

4.1

Firmware version

Basic
Generation of currents AC or DC. For AC courses, the fixed frequency 50Hz, phase shift 120 are set. The
user only changes the amplitude of the generated signal the same in all three phases. Option of DI/DO
control and reading.
Voltage generator
Generation of AC or DC currents and voltage. The functionality is the same as for the basic version.
Function generator
This enables to set separate amplitudes, frequencies and phase shifts on individual outputs.
Record player
Option of recording error records from protection (RTU, Comtrade).
IFC Tester
Automatic testing of failure current indicators.
Protection tester
Automatic testing of protection in RTU units.
DI datalogger
Record of changes to DI with time mark.
Individual modules can be combined according to the requirements of the specific user and to deactivate, it is
necessary to load into the device the respective licence applicable to the serial number of the device.

4.2

Upgrade

Similarly as in all RTU units from ELVAC a.s., the FW can be remotely upgraded. This requires special
software, such as EPGap or User Center. In the firmware upgrade regime, the generation of analogue inputs and
other functions for the device do not work. After upgrading the firmware, normal activity of EPG7 is restored.

5 Control of device
5.1

Switching ON and OFF

Before using, it is necessary to insert into the device the NiMH accumulators or to connect him to the external
voltage source using the connector which is on the side of the box (marked 9V DC). The device is activated by the
button on the side of the box (button ON). This button is built-in into the box to prevent the accidental activation of
the device and the consequent discharging of the accumulator. After activation, it is necessary to hold the button
(use suitable item) down until the text Loading .. or Nahravam .. is displayed.
For disconnecting the device, it is possible to use long pressing of the button on the control knob for the
respective items in the menu of the device. After selection and acknowledgement, the device is disconnected. If it is
supplied from an external adapter and accumulators are inserted, the function of the charger of the accumulators
remains permanently active.
When working with the generator, due to the energy saving in the accumulators, there is automatic
disconnection of the supply to the analogue part of the device. When the device is generating on at least one
output, the signal status is indicated by the lighting of the RUN LED (STATUS section). At the same time, in this
status, the analogue part of the device is supplied.

5.2

Control

All functions and settings for the EPG7 generator are displayed in the multi-level menu which is displayed on the
4-line LCD display. To move in this menu item, use the rotary control knob with the integrated button.
By turning the control knob it is possible to move through the menu or to set a specific item. By turning in the
clockwise direction, then you can move in the menu by one item down; in the opposite direction, by one position up.
When pressing the rotary control knob, there is the selection of the item in the menu (acknowledgement). If setting
the value, the fast-speed wheel function is activated and the value is changed depending on the speed of turning
(change by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64). For calibration, this change is significantly greater (1, 5, 20, 50, 250, 1000, 2500).
The approximate symbols in the menu are displayed in the table:
Symbol

Description of symbols
The actual positions in the menu (first column from the left)
Selected item for editing (first column from the left)
Indication of the channel for quick editing (second column
from the left)
Overloading of the channel (fifth column from the left)

The actual positions in the menu are marked by a simple arrow always located on the left on the display. If the
specific item is selected and it does not concern the sub-menu item, the symbol is changed to a double arrow. This
symbol informs users that that item can be changed by turning of the control knob. By re-pressing the control knob
button the set value is confirmed (saved) and the symbol is changed to a single arrow.
Further pressing of the control knob button (for 2s) is used for special purposes, such as the fast setting of
several items at once, e.g. setting the frequency of further channels for analogue outputs (if enabled by the
licence). With longer pressing, more channels can be selected and then group changed. In this case the line is
marked with a cross.

6.1.1 Current source

Option for setting the current outputs on the EPG7 generator.
a) Basic version
The generator without the licence provides only the basic option for setting the current outputs. The selected
values are applied to all three current channels at the same time.
The channel is activated by the item Enable. The value on the right side of the line shows the actual status
set (connected - On, disconnected - Off).
The second line describes the type of generated signal and the value. AC AC harmonic signal with the
adjustable effective value with the range 0-45mA and the step 0.1mA, DC DC signal with the adjustable
amplitude with the range 60mA and the step 0,1mA. In the case of overloading the channel (too high loading),
an exclamation mark is displayed on the same line.
The type of signal generated is switched depending on the value of the frequency (Freq). For the basic
versions, the frequency is only restricted for the values 0 or 50Hz. At the time of switching the frequency, the

The Phase item is only informative and cannot be changed in the basic version. Phases between individual
channels are firmly set for 120 (I1 0, I2 120, I3 240).
b) Function generator
Compared with the basic version, this enables each current channel to be separately set. The display
always shows all three current channels and the common channel. The common channel serves for the uniform
setting of all current channels. If it is necessary to change only some channels, the line is marked by long
pressing of the control knob. For marked lines, a cross is displayed and during selection, only channels marked
with the cross are changed.
The channel is activated by the Enable item. The value on the right side of the line shows the actual status
set (connected - On, disconnected - Off).
The second line describes the type of generated signal and the set value. AC AC harmonic signal with the
adjustable effective value with the range 0-45mA and the step 0.1mA, DC DC signal with the adjustable
amplitude with the range 60mA and the step 0,1mA.
The type of signal generated is switched depending on the value of the frequency (Freq). The range of the
frequency is 0-350Hz. The usable frequency is only 0Hz a 40-350Hz with the step 1Hz. The frequency between
45Hz and 55Hz is adjustable with the step 0.1Hz. Upon switching the frequency (between 0 and 40Hz) the
amplitude (effective value) of the signal is set to 0mA.
The Phase is adjustable within the range 0-359 with the step 1 under the condition that all channels have
the same frequency. In the case of various frequencies, it is not possible to set the phase (the value of the
phase is filled for all channels by three dashes).
The Shift function enables to change the value on the output for the common channel. If in any channel this
function is disconnected, then any changes made to the common channel are not applied to it.
In the case of overloading the channel (too high loading), an exclamation mark is displayed on the line for
the overloaded channel.

change of the value a warning message is displayed which, after the acknowledgement, sets the network into the
default status (frequency 50Hz, phase between channels 120). The value of current I and voltage U is calculated
as the average value on all channels. If the values are not the same on all channels, a question mark is displayed
on the stated line. The type of voltage generated (Type) can be switched between the line-to-earth (L-E) and the
line-to-line (L-L). The angle expresses the phase shift between the current and the voltage.

6.1.4 Hand step

Hand step is the alternative to steps for tests for protection or IFC.

The hand step enables to generate on any channel (Ix, I1, I2, I3, Ux, U1, U2, U3) the step for the effective
value, frequency or phase. To select these values, the item Value is used. In the menu, the original value (Origin),
is displayed, as well as the new value (New). The original value is set in the analogues output menu (Analog
outputs) and serves only for reading. The new value (New) can be set manually.
The range of values is the same as in the option for analogue outputs. The effective value for the current
channels is within the range 0-45mA with the step 0.1mA. The effective value for the voltage channels is within the
range 0-7V with the step 0.01V. The frequencies of all channels is within the range 40-350Hz with the step 1Hz and
within the range 45-55Hz with the step 0.1Hz. The phases for all channels can be set within the range 0-359 with
the step 1.
The hand step only switches between the original and the new value. It does not influence the activation of the
channel. The step is switched by pressing the control knob on the item State. This line shows the actual status and
the channel with which it works (for example I2).

6.1.5 Reports
The error statuses in the voltage and current channels are displayed here. If the generation on the current
channel is activated and the channel is not loaded or the loading resistance is too high, a warning text is displayed
in the menu (e.g. overloading Overload I1). If during the generation of the signal on the voltage channel, too low
loading resistance is connected (the value of the output signal differs compared with the stated value) a warning
text is displayed in the menu (e.g. overloading Overload U2).
Another reason for the display of the warning message can be the incorrect calibration of the channel.

6.3.2.1 Ramp

-21-

Rev 4; 4/13

User Manual

The ramp serves for testing the protection of RTU units. EPG7 generates on a selected current channel (I1, I2,
I3) or all channels (Ix) a harmonic signal with the variable value with the fixed frequency of 50Hz. If the affection of
the protection is selected (menu Settings DI/DO) the time of connection and disconnection of the protection and
values of currents is measured at which the protection responded.
The channel is selected though the item Channel. DI Start determines the manner of running the test
activation by digital input (DI1, DI2, DI3, DI4) or immediately (None).
The ramp is defined by its minimum (I min) and maximum (I max) value. The range of these values is the same
as the range of current channels (0-45mA) The value I max cannot have smaller values than I min + 0,1mA. The
value of one step is stated by the increase of the effective value by Step per each Length seconds.
The maximum length of the generation of the ramp is restricted to 90s. In the case of incorrectly selected
constants when the total time exceeds 90s, then after pressing Run test a warning screen is displayed with
Long time, change values and it is necessary to correct the ramp constants.
The range of the step is 0.1mA to (I max I min) mA and the step 0.1mA. The length is within the range 0.0110s with the step 0.01s.
Click on the item Run test to initiate the test in the first step, and then there is the start of the generation
(depending on DI Start). The ramp is generated on a selected current channel; the other channels remain without
change. After termination of the test, the measured values and results are displayed. During the test, individual
steps are displayed on the display.
The test can be terminated by pressing the control knob.

6.3.2.2 Step
The step change of the effective value of the current. It is also applicable without the licence for the voltage
card.

The channel is selected through the Channel (I1, I2, I3, Ix), similarly as for testing signal Ramp. DI Start
determines the manner of running the test activation by digital input (DI1, DI2, DI3, DI4) or immediately (None).
The EPG7 generates a harmonic signal with the frequency 50Hz and will change the effective value of the
current on the selected current channel. The level of the effective value step can be set through the item Fault with
the range of the current channel (0.1-45mA). The starting effective value of the channel is stated by the value set
in the menu for analogue outputs current source.
The step change of the effective value takes place after expiration of the time Start and lasts during the Length
time. After expiration of the total time (Start + Length) there is again a step change for the effective value and the
return to the original value. The values Start and Length are adjustable form 0.01 to 45s.
Press the button on the item Run test to initiate the test, then there is running of the generation (depending on
DI Start). The step is generated on the selected channel; the other channels remain without change. After
termination of the test, the result is displayed. During the test, individual steps are displayed on the display.

menu Settings DI/DO.
Press the button on the Run test item to initiate the test and set the status DO OFF, and then to start the
generation (depending on DI Start). In the case of the setting DI Start it is waiting for the expiration of the time
Intermediate. DO ON status is set. In the first phase the values of currents and voltages are generated during the
Operating time. Then, there is the error status (only on the selected channel), which lasts during the Detection
time and it is waiting for the protection response signal DI OFF (if the protection does not respond, there is
termination of the test). After the response from the protection, there is disconnection of the generation on
analogue outputs. Then there is expiration of the Intermediate time and setting the status DO OFF. The further
step is waiting during the Reclosing time for the signal DI ON (if the signal does not come, the test is terminated).
Then, there is expiration of the Intermediate time and setting of the status DO ON. On the analogue outputs, the
operating values and the error status on the selected channel are generated. Then, there is again the waiting for
detection of the failure by the signal DI OFF. The whole process is repeated according to the number of set cycles.
After termination of the test, the result with the measured times is displayed.
If the test passed OK, then the operating values will be generated on analogue outputs. Otherwise, the
generation will be disconnected.
The test can be terminated by pressing the control knob.

6.4.2 Calibration
The calibration menu serves for the calibration of the voltage and current channels and calibration of the battery.
Before entering the advanced calibration menu, it is necessary to insert the Password and enter the combination
of five characters. The choice of characters is made by turning the control knob The list of available characters is
displayed on the last line of the display and the actual selected character flashes. By briefly pressing the control
knob, there is the acknowledgement of the character and passing to the other. Long pressing of the control knob
will cause the return to the previous menu.
If the correct password is inserted, the option for using or manufacturing calibration is added to the first line of
the menu. The user calibration does not support the calibration of back measurement and calibration of the battery.
By entering into this option, the advanced calibration menu is opened. The password for the user calibration is
11111.
The date of calibration displays the date when the calibration was performed. The switching between
manufacturing and user calibration constants is possible by clicking on the item Values (figure in the Chapter 6.4).
The advanced calibration menu and steps in the calibration process are shown in the following diagram. The
channel is selected by pressing the control knob on the item Channel (value I1, I2, I3, U1, U2, U3, Ubat). On the
third line is the menu for setting the calibration data.

Before running the calibration, it is necessary to connect the measuring device to the respective channel (on the
Ammeter current channel in series with the load to the Voltmeter voltage channel in parallel to the load).
The calibration process is divided into calibration for the generation of the signal and the calibration of back
measurement (not accessible for user calibration). The first step is calibration of the offset (DC calibration). On the
selected DC channel a signal is generated with the amplitude 0mA (0V). By the movement of the rotary control
knob it is necessary to set the value so that it approaches the value 0mA (0V) as much as possible. By pressing the
control knob, the value is acknowledged and passed to the next step.
The second and the third step is the calibration of the amplification for the first and the second range (30mA and
60mA, or 4.5V and 10V). The calibration procedure is the same as in the previous step, by moving the control knob
the adjusted value is modified to best match the required value and is acknowledged by pressing the control knob.
In the fourth step is the calibration of the value of the AC signal depending on the frequency (it is necessary to
switch the measuring device to the AC range). The harmonic signal is generated on the output with the frequency
50Hz and the effective value 20mA (3V). With the rotary control knob, the value on the output is generated,
although the value measured by the measuring device is entered into the generator. The acknowledgement is by
pressing the control knob button.
The same principle is in the 5th and the 6th step, the harmonic signal is generated with the frequency 200Hz
and then 350Hz. After termination of the calibration, the constants are saved in the memory of the device and it is
necessary to set the date of calibration in the date menu.

Anytime when the device works in a non-standard manner or when error messages are displayed, pay attention
to these statuses. This can concern minor problems which you can resolve yourself, but can also concern
symptoms of a more serious nature. If you exclude basic operator errors (for example, unconnected cable, failure in
some of the peripherals, etc.) and problems continue, order the unit to be repaired by specialists. You can contact
us on the service line; we will be pleased to help or we can agree a service action with you.
We believe that such problems will be at a minimum due to the care taken in production.
On behalf of the whole team at ELVAC a.s. we would like to thank you for your attention and we trust that you
will be satisfied with our product.
