    UPLC™ Application Manual Refer to the timing diagrams at the end of this chapter. When a trip test is initiated, the local transmitter shuts down for 1.5 seconds. The remote end receiver will see this as a loss of channel. After 1.5 seconds, the local transmitter then keys to the lower trip frequency for 0.5 second.
