Operating Instructions 

With the incoming isolator closed the unit will monitor the incoming 

supply.  If no fault condition is present approximately 1 second after 

closing the incoming isolator the O-PEN monitor will energise the 

under-voltage release mechanism of the 5 pole isolator (indicated by 

the green LED illuminating).  At this point the 5 pole isolator can be 

closed to connect the load to the incoming supply.  Alternatively wait 

30 seconds and the isolator will automatically close. 

In the event the O-PEN unit detects a fault condition on the monitored 

supply for a period of 4 seconds the internal relays will de-energise and 

remove the supply to the under-voltage release mechanism of the 5 

pole isolator.  This will cause the 5 pole isolator to open disconnecting 

all phases, neutral and CPC from the load.   

Once the fault condition has cleared the O-PEN unit will reset after a 3 

minute period and the 5 pole isolator will automatically reclose 30 

seconds after. 

Test Function 

A Test Switch is provided to allow the functionality of the 

units to be checked.  With the unit powered and the 5 pole 

isolator closed rotate the Test Switch anti-clockwise to 

position O to initiate a test. This will disconnect L1 from the O-PEN 

monitor and create a fault condition.  After 0.7 seconds the O-PEN 

monitor will trip the 5 pole isolator by de-energising the under-voltage 

release mechanism.  

Return the Test Switch to position I to clear the fault condition.  

The O-PEN unit will reset after 3 minutes. 

We recommend the unit is tested on a 6 monthly basis.
