relay, while we apply the differential current only to one side. 
The connection scheme is the following. 
 

 

The following is the D1000 front panel. There are two pairs of 
sockets:  IN  and  OUT.  IN  is  to  be  connected  to  the  VCAUX 
output  of  T1000  PLUS;  D1000  converts  the  voltage  into 
current,  and  generates  the  differential  current,  that  is 
measured  prior  to  connection  to  the  relay.  So,  when  we  say 
that  the  differential  current  is  to  be  adjusted,  this  means 
adjusting the auxiliary voltage.
