Page 9: Phase Connections
Phase connections Why check phase connections? In the event of uneven load a unit may need to be checked to determine what loads are Sensitivity range on which phase. Connect the transmitter to a wall outlet and measure the main fuse that is overloaded. Note the phase position. -

Page 11: Fuse Connections
Fuse connections Functions as fol�l�ows Peak marker The transmitter generates a current of ap- proximately 7 KHz frequency. This current is superimposed on the mains voltage and passes through the connection cable to the HOLD marker fuse and onwards to the transformer station. This means that it will be on rails and con- nected cables that are between the fuse and the transformer. -

Page 14: Rcd Tests
RCD tests “Tracker” VS can check the trip time on a 0 mA RCD or RCOB. The check uses 0 mA 6. The RCD/RCOB trips constant fault current and the RCD must trip and the time is shown in within a maximum of 00 ms. milliseconds (ms) in the ”Tracker”... -
Page 15: How Is The Measured Value Presented
RCD tests How is the measured val�ue presented? VS3 generates a constant faul�t current of approximatel�y 30 mA over both periods. The val�ue is cal�cul�ated for a vol�tage of 230 V and is not corrected for deviating vol�tage. Trip times are onl�y cal�cul�ated on positive parts of the period, which is why the time cannot be exactl�y given if the trip time occurs during the negative part of the period. -
