the  test.  If  the  fault  voltage  is  great  than  50V,  this  is 
indicated on the LCD and the test is inhibited.

AC/DC/Selective (F2) 

Function key F2 is used to select the required RCD type: AC, DC sensitive 
and pure DC combined with standard or selective RCD types. Each time 
the F2 key is pressed the next option is selected

During selective tests the DL9120 / DL9130EV will display a delay timer 
which counts down from 30s to 0s. Pressing the Test key or turning the 
rotary switch while the DL9120 / DL9130EV is counting will terminate the 
count.
