7 Commissioning
7.1 Post-installation check and switching on the device
Make sure that all post-connection checks have been carried out before you commission
your device:
• ‘Post-installation check’ checklist → 10
• ‘Post-connection check’ checklist → 13
Once the operating voltage is applied, the display lights up and the green LED indicates
that the device is operational.
When you commission the device for the first time, you program the setup in accordance
with the descriptions provided in these Operating Instructions in the following sections.
When commissioning a device already configured or preset, measuring is immediately
started as per the settings. The values of the channels currently activated appear on the
display. Changes to the display can be made in the Display menu item → 31.
Remove the protective foil from the display as this restricts display legibility
otherwise.
