Important Advice
Electric strength tests should not be repeated in the field. Improper test methods, for example overshooting or oscillating

damage to switching devices and ICs. Melcher AG will not honour any guarantee/warranty claims resulting from high
voltage field tests.

This is necessary to prevent the discharge of the input ca-

nected to the same source. E/LM and LMZ modules have a
built-in series diode. In A/B/C/D/FM and C/DMZ modules,

Electric strength tests should not be repeated in the field. Improper test methods, for example overshooting or oscillating

damage to switching devices and ICs. Melcher AG will not honour any guarantee/warranty claims resulting from high
