ProbitLab (EOL)
The ProbitLab, as predecessor of the ProbitLab2, is a platform for testing of IEC62386 Edition1 & Edition2 control gears and control devices without bus power supplies to improve the interoperability. The ProbitLab 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. NOTE: The ProbitLab is EOL and is replaced by the ProbitLab2.

▸ FAQ

Why the ProbitLab is not running?

· Answer: Please make sure the main supply is connected correctly to the ProbitLab 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 ProbitLab the DALI terminals are disabled. After connecting with the ProbitBench software you are able to activate the integrated DALI bus power supply.

· Answer: Please make sure you have either connected an ampere meter correctly to the current measurement terminals or bypass these terminals with the delivered short-circuit adapter.
