6.2.2 A1179/A1257/A1395 states regarding measuring ranges
Changing of the measuring range is done just by pressing the key. After switch
ON (also by pressing the key) module is at 20/30 A range. If you pressing the key again
the 200/300 A range is selected etc. (see Table 6.4).
A1179/A1257/A1395 module has overrange current detection as noted in
chapter 1. It means that A1179/A1257/A1395 module informs the user if the selected
range is too small for measured current amplitude (peak value). If the overrange current
was detected but currently it is not present any more the user can reset blinking Range
LED by pressing the key (see Table 6.5). If the overrange is present also when the key
is pressed the range will be changed to the less sensitive range (see Table 6.6).
