  • Page 9 In pre-test a too high external voltage was detected between ISO/SUB and PE terminals. The measurement was cancelled. Press OK to continue. In pre-test a possible high leakage current was detected. It is likely that a dangerous leakage current (higher than 3.5 mA) will flow after applying power to the device under test.
