Safety issues to remember
• Electricity can be dangerous, use of an RCD should not be
regarded as a substitute for basic electrical safety precautions.
• Always test the RCD before use. If the test procedure is not
completed satisfactorily or an appliance continues to trip the
RCD seek professional advice and switch off the appliance.
• To clean, use a clean dry cloth only.
Do NOT use any liquid cleaners.
• A warming of the case during use is normal.
Wiring tests – important
Remove this product from circuit if carrying out tests
(as described in the IEE Wiring Regulations) for earth loop
impedance, prospective short circuit current and
insulation resistance.
Use the enclosed warning label to ensure this is carried out.
