f) Alarm for overloading
If a set limit value is exceeded, the measuring device will sound an alarm every 10 seconds
and “OVERLOAD” will ash in the display. Press any button to stop the alarm. However, the
“OVERLOAD” display will continue to ash.
This function cannot only be used for protection of the measuring device or a connected
load but also to signal when the load has exceeded the set limit value during operation.
You do not have to monitor the display all the time.
A power value (W) as well as a current value (A) can be set as limit value.
The function is deactivated if “0” was entered for both limit values.
If both values are programmed (e.g. 1000 W and 2 A), the alarm is activated when the
lower of the two values is exceeded (for the example above, the alarm is activated at
2 A; this corresponds to a power of 460 W for a mains voltage of 230 V/AC).
• If you have set the CO

ing, you can proceed directly with the next step.
