Step 1: Proper ESD precautions must be taken to avoid any damage to the unit. Step 2: Power off and unplug all connected cables including sensors from the DEWE3-PA8 and TRION™/TRION3™ series modules. Step 3: Identify a supported TRION™/TRION3™ peripheral slot. Some modules require a TRION™ STAR-slot.
Touchscreen gestures The DEWE3-PA8 is equipped with a bright 11.6" full HD wide screen multi-touch panel to control the DEWE3-PA8. You can use your fingers on the touchscreen, like you would on a smartphone. For example, drag the sidebar from the right side across the screen to open the channel setup.

MAIN SYSTEM Power supply The DEWE3-PA8 comes with two integrated power supplies. The reason for this is that some current sensors react extremely sensitive to power losses. To avoid that, an additional power supply was added to power the sensors, even when the mains power supply of the measurement device has a failure.
