1 High Current
2 Low Current
Check if all the switching conditions occur in the correct sequence
and the stated time period. If this is not the case, there is a fault in
the measuring system. Keep in mind that connected instruments are
activated during the function test. This allows you to check the correct
function of the measuring system.
Note:
Keep in mind that the starting time t
A
of the voltage supply can extend
the time up to the first switching.
