1. Making effective use of this document
To make it easier for you to understand and revisit certain sections of text and
instructions in the manual, we have used symbols to identify important in-
structions and information. Examples of how such symbols are used appear
below:

3. Function
RCMA421H_D00069_00_M_XXEN/05.2014 9
Function
The device will check the circuit for the presence of residual currents even dur-
ing the self test.
An external measuring current transformer (e.g. WN-35BS) is used for residual
current measurement. The actual measured value is indicated on the LCD. If
the rated residual operating current of 6 mA is exceeded, the alarm relay K2
will change to the alarm state and the TRP alarm LED will light up.
Once the alarm relay has switched, the residual current must fall to less than
the rated residual operating current.
If it does not, error code E.04 will appear on the display and the ERR alarm LED
will flash. This means that the connected contactor has not shut down the
faulty circuit.
If the residual current falls below the release value, the error will continue to
be signalled due to the permanently activated fault memory. The alarm relay
K2 will not switch back to the initial state and the TRP alarm LED will not go
out until the reset button R is pressed or the power supply voltage is interrupt-
ed.
Parameters are assigned to the device via the LCD and the control buttons on
the front panel; this function can be password-protected.

3.2.5 Malfunction
In the event of an internal malfunction, the TPD alarm LED will light and the
ERR alarm LED will flash. An error code will appear on the display until the fault
is removed. Refer to page 30 for details about error codes.
