6.1. AUTO
This function enables performing an automatic sequence of tests, including the main tests
regarding the electric safety of a system, i.e.:
 measurement of earth resistance through socket-outlet
 measurement of RCD tripping time
 measurement of insulation resistance between phase and earth

CAUTION

Testing the RCD’s tripping time causes the RCD’s tripping. Therefore, check
that there are NO users or loads connected downstream of the RCD
being tested which could be damaged by a system downtime.

Disconnect all loads connected downstream of the RCD as they could
produce leakage currents further to those produced by the instrument, thus
invalidating the results of the test
