POWERGUARD
ELECTRICAL SAFETY SWITCH

INSTALLATION AND CONSUMER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR
MODEL 956
Your PDL Powerguard is an electronic sensing device which constantly
monitors the balance of current flow between phase and neutral in the plugged
in appliance. Should your body contact a live part of this appliance, an
imbalance is sensed by the Powerguard Safety Switch and the supply
automatically switched off. Use of a Safety Switch does not eliminate the
need for basic electrical safety precautions.
Model 956 is fitted with 2 metre weather and dust protected cordset for use
in areas requiring this added safety protection. This model carries a weather
and dust protection rating of IP56.
