ProbitLab2
The ProbitLab2, as successor of the ProbitLab, is a platform for testing of IEC62386 Edition1 & Edition2 control gears, control devices and bus power supplies to improve the interoperability. The ProbitLab2 together with the ProbitBench enables to run the IEC62386 normative test sequences distributed by the DIIA. All together they are the authorized test equipment for product approval and registration in order to bear the logo of the DIIA.

▸ FAQ

Why the ProbitLab2 is not running?

· Answer: Please make sure the main supply is connected correctly to the ProbitLab2 and the main supply switch at the back side is on.

· Answer: Please make sure the emergency button is not pressed.

Why I cannot measure a voltage at the DALI terminals?

· Answer: After power up of the ProbitLab2 the DALI terminals are disabled. After connecting with the ProbitBench software you are able to activate the integrated DALI bus power supply.
