4.6 TURNING THE INSTRUMENT OFF
To turn the instrument off, press the
button
The instrument will request confirmation if it is recording or metering energy,
recording transients, recording alarms, or capturing inrush current,
If you confirm the Power-off command, the recordings will be finalized and the
instrument will turn off.
If the instrument turns on before the scheduled end of any recording sessions,
these sessions will resume automatically.
4.7 SAFETY STATUS
If there is an overload on the inputs, the instrument will change to safety status.
Safety status is indicated by a red line under the status bar.
The red line indicates that the sum of all voltage inputs exceeds 1450 V
crest
. This
condition is not reached with signals ranging up to 1000 V
RMS
; however,
if you
accidentally connect the 3 voltage inputs to the same phase, the sum of
the voltage inputs will exceed the safety threshold.
When the overload has been eliminated, the safety status will disappear after
approximately 10 seconds, and you can use your instrument normally again.
This change to safety status may also occur when the instrument is turned on.
