Safety switch operation
If the safety switch trips at any time during
operation, the equipment being used should be
immediately unplugged and checked by a qualified
technician. Sometimes where a number of outlets
are being used simultaneously to supply appliances,
an accumulation of earth-leakage currents can
cause “nuisance” tripping. If this occurs each
appliance should be individually checked by a
qualified technician before using.
Overload device operation
If the overload device trips, the black button on
the side of the case will pop out. This device will
operate when the rating of the Power Block has been
exceeded. This can occur when a faulty appliance
has been connected, or when too many appliances
are being supplied at one time causing an over
current fault (maximum total loading is 10 Amp or
2400 watt). If an appliance is suspected of being faulty
a qualified technician should check it. To reset the
overload device simply press the black button.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The power block is not designed for use in damp
or wet conditions
• Always plug directly into a wall socket, not an
extension lead
• The use of a safety switch does not remove the
need to follow basic safety precautions
• The safety switch provides protection against
electrical faults to earth, it does not protect you
against an electric shock caused by contacting
both active and neutral conductors of an
electrical circuit. The overload device provides
protection against over current faults through the
active conductor.
• If the Power Block has sustained damage such
as from being dropped or immersion in water,
do not use again until checked by a qualified
technician.
