Switch behaviourswitch-over for minimum/maximum residual current safety on electronic insert
MAX = maximum safety:
The output switches to the power fail response when the fork is covered.
for use with overspill protection for example
MIN = minimum safety:
The output switches to the power fail response when the fork is exposed.
for use with dry running protection for example
