> 1 Ω:
OFFSET measurement of RL-PE or RN-PE and RLN for ZL-PE and ZL-N is not
sensible.
Remedy: check system.
Err15 R

OFFSET measurement is not sensible.
Remedy: check system.
Err16
SETUP → OFFSET
(EXTRA → ∆U)
Z > 10 Ω:
OFFSET measurement of RL-PE or RN-PE and RLN for ∆U(ZLN) is not sensible.
Remedy: check system.
Err17 EXTRA → ∆U

OFFSET
> ∆U:
OFFSET value is greater than the measured value at the consuming system.
OFFSET measurement is not sensible.
Remedy: check system.

Remedy: check test plug or measuring adapter for correct seating in the test plug,
or replace the fuse.

2) Display in the connection pictograph: PE interrupted (x) or bottom protective
conductor tab interrupted with reference to the keys at the test plug
Cause: voltage measuring path interrupted
Result: measurement is disabled.

the
ON/START key again.

Resistance in the N-PE path is too high.
Consequence: The required test current cannot be generated and measurement is
aborted.
