User manual SEFELEC 5x Series 28 v1.06Measurement thresholds in resistance or voltage dropThe device offers high and a low measurement thresholds expressed either in continuity resistance orin voltage drop.Resistance measurement thresholds adjustable from 0.1 mΩ to 1,000.0 mΩVoltage drop measurement thresholds adjustable from 0.01 to 9.99 VTime delayPERMANENTA rise time applies to the test and then the output current is equal to the set point. The test is stopped ifthe user requests to stop the test by pressing the red button on the front panel.AUTOIn AUTO mode: The test consists of 3 successive phases during which the current increases linearly upto the desired value (Rise), is maintained at the programmed value (Hold) and is then gradually reducedto 0 (Fall)Rise and Fall programmable from 0.0 to 9999.0 sec. in steps of 0.1 s.Hold programmable from 0.1 to 9999.0 sec. in steps of 0.1 s.Accuracy +/- 20 msec.Measurement cycleIf the current generated is high (greater than or equal to 25 A), it may cause overheating of the currenttransformer and trigger its protection.The information below indicates the maximum time of use of the ground continuity function according tothe cycle of use (one ½ cycle represents an application of the current for one second for a cycle with atotal duration of 2 seconds). Note: All these times are given for a current of 32 A. For lower currentsthese times are longer.Cycle Permanent / 0.5 / 0.3Maximum time of use 25 minutes / 5 hours/ infinity
