Overhead Earth Wire

1.Turn central rotary switch to position “ARE 3pole" or ARE 4pole". The instrument is to be wired according to picture and notices given on the display.

A flashing of the sockets symbols EFGHor B, points to an incorrect or incomplete connection of the measuring lead.

2.Apply current transformer to the pylon stub. Make sure that the trans- formation ratio set on the instrument corresponds to the current trans- former used. Change settings if necessary (see “Changing of All Data Settings with Personalised CODE”)
