● Make sure that the device
receive a power-on command (e.g. from the keyboard
or terminal block).
● Connect the forming circuit.
● While forming, the incandescent lamps must become less bright or go completely dark. If
the incandescent lamps continue to be brightly lit, a fault has occurred in the drive unit or
in the wiring.
● To form using resistors, the modules must remain in the circuit for approx. 1 h. The
resistors will become very hot if there is a fault in the unit (surface temperature > 80 °C).
