NOVAR 2600 Operating Manual

Then, in case that :

at least one valid output ( capacitor or choke ) was found

the instrument is not switched into the 

manual 

mode

no alarm action is active

 voltage and current higher than measurable minimums at least in one of phases

the instrument starts to control power factor to preset value.

If the undercurrent ( 

I<

 ) alarm was disabled for the AOR-process to be able to pass without 

any load in the network do not forget to reenable it back !!!

You can found detailed AOR process description in appropriate chapter below.
The instrument includes a row of other parameters – their description is stated in following chapters.
