Automatic check if error is kept within the limits required by IEC61557-5.
If after a measurement of probe-, auxiliary earth electrode- and earthing resistance, a measurement error of higher than 30 % is assumed because of the influencing conditions (see diagram), the display shows a warning symbol "!" and a notice that RS or RH are too high.
