6.6. LOOP IMPEDANCE TEST (LOOP)
In accordance with the regulation of IEC/EN60204-1 guideline, the protection
conditions against electric shocks in systems with automatic disconnection of the
mains voltage are:
¾ Measurement or evaluation of fault loop impedance and testing the over-current
protection device involved in the fault loop
¾ Limit values are shown in the Table 10 of IEC/EN60204-1 guideline
1. Press the FUNC key and select the LOOP function. The following screen is
shown on the display
