To customize the current and voltage settings and values of a test, place the cursor on the relevant test row: the test action buttons appear.
Click on , customize the settings according to the device configuration and the conditions you want to test.
Click on OK.
Select the tests you want to run in the sequence.
To start the sequence, click on Start: the signals are sent to the protection release. The line corresponding to the running test shows the progressive test status and, when the test is finished, the test result. At the end of a test, the next selected test in the sequence is automatically executed. At the end of the last test, the test sequence is terminated automatically.
Note: none of the parameters can be edited during the test.
The release may generate a trip, depending on how it has been configured.
To interrupt the test manually, click on Stop.
From the sequence completion window, click on Yes to generate the test sequence report. Otherwise, select No. It will also be possible to view the report later from the main test page (What it looks like).
Create a test sequence.
In Tools > Test area > Test Execution > Test sequence click on New test sequence. If you wish to perform tests on a Sace Emax 3 device, click on Tools > Test area > Pro Test > Test sequence click on New test sequence.
Click on Rename test sequence and assign a name to the sequence.
Click on +Add test : the test 1 row appears.
To customize test settings and the current and voltage values of a test, place the cursor on relevant test row: the test action buttons appear.
Click on , customize the settings in the test edit tabs according to the device configuration and the conditions you want to test, and click on OK.
Repeat steps 3, 4, 5 for all the tests to be added to the sequence.
To save the sequence, click on Save test sequence.
