NOTICE
The onboard digital inputs (1-4) are configured at the factory to function
identically to the front panel pushbuttons (Menu, F1, F2, & F3) in order to
work with the SafeTouch buttons. Changing the programming of the digital
inputs will affect the function of the SafeTouch buttons.
If you wish to change the behavior of the digital inputs, re-assign F1-F3 to
the desired function, then change the corresponding digital input to match.
WARNING
Observe all safety regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed in ac-
cordance with all agency requirements and applicable national, state, and
local codes to prevent damage to the meter and ensure personnel safety.
External Switch Contacts
The ProtEX-MAX includes 4 digital inputs. These digital inputs are preconfigured at the factory to function
as external contacts to duplicate the front button functions of the instrument. The factory configuration
uses the following corresponding digital input terminals for external switch contacts.
