Measuring Currents

When the device has entered protection mode

To protect the device against self-generated heat, it enters

protection mode when the temperature of the junction box

exceeds a specified level.

Green lights up

Reds blink rapidly

Orange blinks rapidly

Greens blink rapidly

In protection mode, the device cannot correctly measure any

current. Moreover, you cannot switch the current ranges.

When the device has entered protection mode, follow the

procedure presented on the following pages to restore it to

normal operation.

If the device has entered protection mode, it is

recommended to re-calibrate it because internal components

may have been subjected to thermal stress.
