• One of the two protective contacts is not connected:
This is checked automatically during testing for touch current

. Poor contact resistance at one of the contacts leads to
one of the following displays depending upon poling of the
plug:
– Display at the connection pictograph:
PE interrupted (x), or underlying protec-
tive conductor bar interrupted with refer-
ence to the keys at the test plug
Cause:
Voltage measuring path interrupted
Consequence: measurement is disabled
– Display at the connection pictograph:
Top protective conductor bar interrupted
with reference to the keys at the test plug
Cause: current measuring path interrupted
Result: no measured value display
See “LED Indications, Mains Connections and Potential
Differences” on page 17.
Reversal of N and PE in a system without RCCBs cannot
be detected and is not indicated by the instrument.
In a system including an RCCB, the RCCB is tripped
during touch voltage measurement without RCCB trip-
ping (automatic Z
L-N
measurement), insofar as N and PE
are reversed.
