LED Indications (see also section 16)

LED Case A LED Case B

LCD Case A LCD Case B

Function – Cause

A Lights up green: Correct connection, measurement enabled

B Blinks green: Neutral conductor not connected, measurement enabled

Lights up orange:

2 different phases active (no neutral conductor at mains), meas. enabled

B Blinks red: I∆N, IF , ZL-PE, ZL-N, RE: No line voltage or PE interrupted

C Lights up red: RINS and RLO: Interference voltage detected, measurement disabled

– UI∆, UI∆N:

Touch voltage > 25 or 50 V, measurement disabled: display: U.PE > UL!

– I∆N: During the tripping test with I

, the RCD is not tripped within 400 ms

(1000 ms for selective RCCBs of type RCD S).

– IF : With rising residual current, the RCD is not tripped before reaching I

– After safety shutdown

– RLO

The permissible (selected) limit value has been exceeded.

– RINS, RE(INS)

The permissible (selected) limit value has been exceeded.
