User’s manual REVO PC Alarm description 8.1 Heater Break Alarm This option allows you to diagnose any load breakage. The diagnostics is based on the comparison of the value of the nominal resistance of the load with respect to the resistance measured in real time. The nominal resistance is calculated using the Operative Load Voltage (Load V) and Load Power (Load kW) parameters.
