A calculation example for the bypass resistor R is shown in the configuration notes in Section "Mounting and
Connections", margin heading "Trip Circuit Supervision".

During normal operation, the binary input is activated (logical condition "H") when the trip contact is open and
the trip circuit is intact, because the supervision circuit is closed either by the circuit breaker auxiliary contact
(if the circuit breaker is closed) or through the bypass resistor R. Only as long as the trip contact is closed, the
binary input is short-circuited and thereby deactivated (logical condition "L").
If the binary input is permanently deactivated during operation, an interruption in the trip circuit or a failure of
the (trip) control voltage can be assumed.
