6.1.1 DESCRIPTION
Power down the relay, either with the power switch or by removing a connection plug, before removing or
inserting modules. Failure to do so may permanently damage the relay.
This chapter contains formulas for the calculation of pickup currents and voltages for testing the ALPS with settings specific
to a particular application. The test circuits and procedures are the same as used and illustrated in Chapter 4: ACCEP-
TANCE/PERIODIC TESTS.
The customer must determine the extent of the testing to be performed. These tests are intended as guides; they are not
required for every periodic test of the relay. The desired test procedures can be incorporated into the standard test proce-
dures. However, it is suggested that the relay's built-in self tests be incorporated into the test procedures, since they test
the operational status of the unit.
It is assumed in what follows that you are familiar with ALPS testing. If not, refer to Chapter 4: ACCEPTANCE/PERIODIC
TESTS for details.
