4.1.7.9 Open/Short Circuit
Open circuit
An open circuit occurs when a break exists in a complete conducting pathway.
Once the open circuit is detected, the IDA8C will open the relay. The following messages will
display on the touch panel of the IDA8C and in the Ateis Studio. See
Line A/B Error.
Short circuit
A short circuit occurs when the electrical current running across separate wires accidentally touch
each other.
Once the short circuit is detected, the IDA8C will force open the short-circuited line to protect the
circuitry and the amplifier from the over-current damage.
If you use both the line a/b, the IDA8 keeps the working line continuous, see the picture below.
