G. Afterentering the desired test,you will be prompted
for the phase to be tested. The TS-MD will display:
Enter one of the following letters:
“A” - PhaseAor Left Pole
“B” - Phase B or Center Pole
“C” - Phase C or Right Pole
“N”-Neutral
H. The TS-MD will report the type of test you selected
andgiveyouachancetoabortthetest. Forexample,

M. There are additional ERROR messages which may
appear on the display during operation which were
notcovered previously:
The test set has sensed that current is not flowing
properlyin the breaker under testand there is either
on open or short circuit between theTS-MD and the
breakertrip unit.
This message will appear if you enter a type of test
that is not available on the breaker being tested.
Forexample:
Thismessagewillappearif you enter a setting value
that does not exist. For example, a MM6B600EW
has continuous current settings of 20, 30, 40, 50,
60,70,80,90&100percent.Ifyouweretoenterany
value other than those listed, the above

Press any key to continue.
This message means that a test requires more
current to run than the TS-MD can produce. The
settings on the breaker should be lowered and the

K, option 3). Then rerun the desired test.
N. The TS-MD will warn you of possible fault coverage
conflicts. These conflicts may occur if, for example,
the short time and instantaneous pickup settings
overlap or interfere with one another. In this case,
the following sequence of messages will appear:
Thesemessagesindicate that something other than
the desired function may trip the breaker. You then
have the option of continuing with the test or
aborting it.
