Caution
• If the unit repeatedly trips with a particular appliance,
or if it fails to trip when tested according to the
instructions, seek advice from an electrician.
DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THE SAME APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE SAFETY SWITCH AS A REAL SHOCK
HAZARD MAY EXIST.
• If using in conjunction with an extension lead ensure
the Safety Switch plug is plugged into the powerpoint
and the extension lead is plugged into the cord
extension socket of the safety switch (not the other
way around as the extension lead would not
be protected).
• This device is to be used on normal electrical
distribution systems 230–240V a.c. 50Hz only.
• This device protects against electric shock from faults
to Earth through the body. It does not protect against
faults between Active and Neutral.
• Do not directly expose the plug and cord extension
socket to the rain.
• Do not immerse in any liquid.
• If Safety Switch is dropped, test to ensure correct
function.
• Test frequently and before each use to ensure correct
operation.
• Electricity can be dangerous. The use of a Safety
Switch is not a substitute for basic electrical safety
precautions. The R5102/1 and
R2810CLRCD
is
designed as a protective device. Do not use as an ON/
OFF switch. Unplug equipment to achieve isolation
before any inspection or repair of equipment is
attempted.
• Not suitable for use with generators – damage may occur.
• Opening voids warranty.

HPM Electresafe Portable Safety Switches
Specification
Extension leads are involved in a large number of fatalities
due to wires becoming disconnected inside the plug or
extension socket, or by damage and exposure of live wires.
As an RCD cannot protect upstream, no extension leads
should be used between the powerpoint and the RCD.
However, in some circumstances the supply to the RCD
may be faulty. The neutral supply can be lost, but the live
active still present.
If contact is made with the live active, a fatality may occur.
A ‘normally closed’ RCD will allow this to happen
downstream from the RCD as its tripping requires both
active and neutral supply.
HPM Electresafe units are ‘normally open’ and will trip
on the loss of either active or neutral, disconnecting both
active and neutral downstream. This complies with the
Type FS requirement in AS/NZS 3190.
