4.4 Operating modes
Auto mode (AVR AUTO)
In auto mode, the device automatically regulates the voltage in accordance
with the set parameters. It is not possible to perform manual tap-change op-
erations using operating controls or inputs.
Manual mode (AVR MANUAL)
In manual mode, you can perform manual tap-change operations to increase
or decrease the voltage. There is no automatic voltage regulation.
Local mode (LOCAL)
In local mode, you can make entries and issue commands using the device's
operating controls. You cannot use inputs to make entries or issue com-
mands.
