Read the chapter “Safety” before using
EGIL.
Always comply with local safety regula-
tions.
1] Check that EGIL and the breaker are ground-
ed as illustrated below.
2] Connect the power supply cable to EGIL.
3] Connect EGIL to the breaker: Connect the
time measurement cable to the main con-
tacts of the breaker and to EGIL TIMING
contact.
4] Connect the auxiliary contact measurement
cable to the auxiliary contacts in the operat-
ing mechanism, and to EGIL AUX1&2 contact.
5] A) If the measurement is on wet (AC voltage)
auxiliary contacts, set the timing auxiliary
inputs to wet mode (LED is off).
B) If the measurement is on wet (DC voltage)
auxiliary contacts, set the timing auxiliary in-
puts to DRY mode (LED is on). The red cable
must be connected to the positive side of the

between the trip coil input and the close coil
input.

service personnel and the test equipment
from harmful voltages.
