Select "Current log" and press the PTK.
For example, you can see the next screen:
31-07-2018 19:24:08
End; peak = 20.9A
31-07-2018 19:24:02
Start; lamp = 2
There are two lines in the screen, the top of which shows
the time of the event. On the second line you can read
what happened, such as:
"Start": the moment when the overload situation
•
began. Behind it is "lamp = .." This output was last
switched on and most probably caused the
overload. This output is disabled.
"End": the overload has ended. In the meantime,
•
measurements are made and the "peak" is shown:
the (maximum) overload between the beginning
and the end of the over-current situation.
It is possible that there are multiple "Start" events
without "End". This is the case, for example, if the power
fails or when you unplug the Ballast Connect from the
mains. In principle, multiple "End" events are not
possible.
Based on the time between "Start" and "End", you can
determine how long the overload has lasted. Usually
that will not be very long. In the example the overload
lasted for 6 seconds.

5.10 Clock selection

The Ballast Connect has 2 different time clocks. You can
choose from a 24-hour timer or an asymmetric timer.

5.11 Over-current protection

By default, the Ballast Connect is set to a capacity of 20
amperes. This means that as soon as the total amount of
ampere switched exceeds 20 amperes, the Ballast
Connect will switch off the last switched on lamp. You
can adjust the capacity from 16 - 24 amperes.
