Resettable Circuit Breaker
The 12 AMP thermal response resettable circuit breaker protects the unit and devices connected to its
duplex GFCI outlet.
The circuit breaker is designed to sense the total current draw through the circuit. The circuit break-
er “trips” when more than 12 amps of electrical current are drawn through the device’s power cord.
Should an over-current condition occur, AS-500 on-board circuit breaker prevents nuisance visits to a
remote power junction box.
IMPORTANT: Total amperage of the AS-500 plus all devices plugged into the receptacle must
not exceed 12 amps. The circuit breaker will not allow for loads in excess of 12 amps, al-
though there is a time delay before the overloaded circuit is broken.
IMPORTANT: When the DiamaPro® AS-500 is plugged into a standard “powered” wall outlet
the DiamaPro® AS-500’s duplex outlet is electrically “HOT” and AC voltage is present.
GFCI Protection and the On-Board Duplex VAC Outlet
The standard AC voltage outlet GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection promotes operator
safety in wet applications. GFCI devices trip when a fault to electrical “ground” is sensed.
It is recommended to check the GFCI protection prior to operation. To check, push the “TEST” button
located on the GFCI duplex outlet. If operating properly the “RESET” button on the GFCI outlet will
pop out. A tripped GFCI is indicated by a small LED. The device can only be “RESET” when AS-500
is connected to a wall outlet providing standard voltage. This duplex AC outlet allows the inter-con-
nection of other AC powered devices. The sum total amperage of all devices plugged into the recep-
tacle must not exceed 10 amps.
Servicing
Before each use inspect for damage, blocked inlet or outlet.
Inspect the GFCI to ensure it is not in a “tripped” condition. Push “RESET” to reset the GFCI. When
