General RCD Operation
Always test the RCD before use.
To test:
RESET – press the grey/blue button marked Reset (R), the status
indicator should show red.
TEST – press the red button marked Test (T), status indicator should
show black. This indicates that the RCD has been tripped and power
has been disconnected from the outlet.
RESET – press the grey/blue button marked Reset (R) again, the
status indicator should show red.
If all the above operations work satisfactorily, the RCD is safe for
use. If the procedure is not completed satisfactorily do not use the
RCD and seek professional advice.
In applications such as hand driers it may not be practical to expect
each user to test before use. In this case we suggest an appropriate
person applies the test routine twice a day.
To use:
After satisfactorily testing the RCD, any connected appliance may be
switched on, and used in the confidence that the user is protected
from electric shock by rapid disconnection.
If the RCD trips:
Turn the appliance switch off, press the Reset (R) button and note
that the status indicator turns red. Switch the appliance on and if the
RCD trips again, switch off the appliance and do not use it, as it may
be faulty. Seek professional advice.
