The points 4...8 are not needed for the CB in Figure 4.1. Thus
they are set to 100 kA and one operation in the table to be
discarded by the algorithm.

Setting Alarm Points
There are two alarm points available having two setting parameters
each.
Current
The first alarm can be set for example to nominal current of the
CB or any application typical current. The second alarm can be
set for example according a typical fault current.
Operations left alarm limit
An alarm is activated when there are less operation left at the
given current level than this limit.
