ACI(AC+DC)
Additional error depending on the crest factor (For a non-sinusoidal input current)
Additional error depending on the AC filter Integration time: 10 PLC
Additional error depending on the integration time AC filter: SLOW
Maximum allowable applied current
Between mA and COM terminals
3A (DC or ACrms)
Input protection By using the 3.15 A/250 V fast blow fuse which is compliant with
IEC60127-2 sheet1
The fuse can be changed on the rear panel.
