not more than 1 metre above the ground.

If conduit is to be used then please follow the
instructions below:
• The drain feature must be drilled out using
a 5mm drill if top or side entry conduit is used.
Opening this drain hole will reduce the IP rating
of the product. Remember – open out the lower
drain feature only and only if required by
conduit entry being used.
• If bottom entry conduit is used, there must be
adequate drainage from the lowest point of
the conduit.
• The relevant cable entry knockout should
be carefully removed by scoring the groove
around the knockout with a sharp knife and
then tapping it out with a small hammer.
A waterproof cable or conduit entry must
then be fitted in its place.
• If two cable entry positions are used with
metal conduit, then earth continuity between
the conduits must be maintained.
• Ensure that the gasket is correctly fitted,
and tighten the four screws (supplied) to fix
the front cover in place (see fig. 1). Do not
overtighten. Use of an electric screwdriver
is not recommended.

Weathersafe Extreme Products with
RCD’s (WXT104, WXT204, WXT205)
Always test the RCD before use.
To test: Ensure supply is connected
RESET – press the grey (blue for WXT205) 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 for WXT205) 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.
