| Partial Discharge Monitoring (optional) | Connects to APD300-L wired sensor (AE/TEV/UHF). Displays amplitude, frequency, average. Alarm on threshold + count >10. |
| Temperature/Humidity Control | Up to three external sensors (4m cable each). Controls three heating outputs and one fan output. Thresholds adjustable via menu or communication. |
| Heating Circuit Alarm | Detects open circuit or overload of heating loads and reports alarm. |
| Voice Prompts | Intelligent error-prevention voice prompts (three selectable modes). Live voice prompt when HV live and person approaches. |
| Human Body Induction | Automatically turns on backlight and cabinet lighting when operator approaches. |
| Trip/Close Supervision | Monitors continuity of trip and close circuits; indicates health via LEDs. |
| Trip/Close Voltage Meas. | Measures control voltage on trip and close circuits (accuracy class 1). |
