GENERAL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY

Please read before using your new
motorhome.

In order for you to get the most out of your
new Elddis motorhome it is necessary for you
to be aware of the following:
(i) Do not obstruct ventilators (See Safety

Section - Ventilation)

(ii) Inspect the flexible gas hose regularly

for deterioration and renew as
necessary, with approved type, as and
in any case no later than the expiry
date stated on the hose.

(iii) It is recommended that you provide a

dry powder fire extinguisher complying
with ISO 7165 of at least 1 KG
capacity by the exit door and a fire
blanket next to the cooker. Ensure you
read the ‘advice to occupier label’ fitted
to your motorhome.

(iv) Never use portable cooking or heating

equipment inside your motorhome. Do
not use your fitted cooking equipment
as heating at any time.

(v) Never allow modification to your gas or

electrical system unless qualified
persons carry them out. A Gas Safe
Register™ approved gas fitter should
carry out all modification to the gas
system. Any modifications carried out
on the electrical system should be
carried out by an electrician on the roll
of the NICEIC or be a member of the
ECA.

(vi) Never exceed your motorhome’s

Maximum Technical Permissible Laden
Mass.

(vii) Never exceed the front or rear axle

maximum load as specified by the
Peugeot weight plate under the
bonnet.

(viii) Pull out worktop extensions, where

fitted, are only designed to take
maximum weight of 6kgs.

(ix) Please ensure extra care when young

children use high level bunks and
always use the safety net provided.

(x) With the exception of the Alde heating

system ensure all the gas taps for the
appliances are turned off before
travelling.

(xi) If you suspect there is a gas leak

please open all the windows then
vacate the motorhome. Switch off the
gas supply if it is safe to do so. Then
contact your nearest Elddis Retailer to
arrange for them to check the gas
system.

(xii) Do not leave children under 14 years

of age unattended in your motorhome.

(xiii) Only those seats designated for

travelling should be occupied when the
motorhome is in motion.

(xiv) Please note that motorhomes are

covered by the new seat belt
regulations, which came into force in
October 2006. These require children
that are under 12 years old and also
under 135cm in height to be seated in
either child seats or on bolster
cushions.

(xv) Ensure you remove all items from the

microwave before travelling.

Proper And Safe Use Of Storage
Areas In Motorhomes

The storage areas provided in your
motorhome are designed solely for the
purpose of carrying personal possessions;
these areas must not be used:

• As a habitation area (e.g. living, sleeping
or cooking).

•To carry passengers, animals or
livestock.

• For the installation (or use) of any LPG
gas operated appliances, (unless
supplied fitted by the manufacturer).

• For carrying LPG gas bottle cylinders,
(unless designated by the manufacturer).

•To carry any flammable liquids, (unless
properly stored, sealed and secured).

• For the operation of an electrical
generator.

•In such a way that the loading exceeds
the payload limit, as defined by the
manufacturer.

• Such that the weight distribution of the
vehicle means non-compliance with the
vehicle axle loads.

It is essential that you have securely
closed and locked the habitation door
before setting off on any journey.

2-1

GENERAL SAFETY

VENTILATION

All motorhomes manufactured by Elddis are
ventilated at both high and low level in
accordance with BS EN 721 Safety
Ventilation. The fixed ventilation points fitted
in your motorhome must not be blocked
under any circumstances as your safety may
depend upon them. It is advisable that the
fixed ventilation points are checked and
cleaned (where necessary) on a regular
basis.

High-Level Ventilation

This is always provided by fixed ventilation
within the fitted roof skylight. All roof skylights
fitted by Elddis provide fixed free area
ventilation. These roof skylights should be
cleaned annually by use of a small brush to
remove any dust that may have accumulated
around the mesh fitted. On some roof
skylights the mesh can be easily removed to
aid cleaning. On fan-assisted roof skylights it
is essential that the fan is switched off prior to
cleaning

Low-Level Ventilation

The vents built into the step by the main
entrance door provide lowlevel ventilation.
These vents should be kept clear and
cleaned regularly using soapy water.

Gas Dispersal Holes

All appliances and gas unions have a gas
dispersal hole nearby. It is essential that
these are not blocked or made ineffective.

FIRE SAFETY

Fire Extinguishers

It is recommended that a 1 kg (21b) minimum
capacity dry powder fire extinguisher be
carried inside your motorhome at all times. A
pan fire must not have an extinguisher aimed
at it, but must be smothered with a fire
blanket.

In Case Of Fire

(i) Get everyone out of the motorhome as

quickly as possible using whichever exit
is quickest including windows. Do not
stop to collect any personal items.

(ii) Raise the alarm. Call the fire brigade.

(iii) Turn off the gas container valve if safe to

do so.

Fire Retardant Foams

All motorhomes are equipped with either
Combustion Modified High Resilient (CMHR)
foam cushions or sprung mattresses and fire
retardent fabric. All furnishings and fabrics
used by Elddis comply with the Furniture and
Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations. In
addition all upholstery is made of fire
retardant fabric.

Ventilation in Separate Bedrooms

In motorhomes with separated sleeping
areas, separate ventilation is required and is
provided via a roof skylight at high level and
a ventilator at low level within a bed box.

2-2

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

Before venturing out on to the road with your
motorhome, it is important that you prepare
correctly.

MOTORHOME WEIGHTS EXPLAINED

Mass in Running Order

The weight of your motorhome as it leaves
the factory, as new with standard fixtures and
fittings, plus an allowance for the driver of
75kgs and the mass of the fuel when the tank
is full, 90% of the water carried in the water
tank and an allowance for the gas bottles.

Maximum Technically Permissible
Laden Mass

The maximum mass the vehicle can be when
fully laden for use on the road.

User Payload

The load margin (payload), this represents
the difference between the Mass in Running
Order and the Maximum Technically
Permissible Laden Mass. It shows the
maximum weight that can be loaded into your
motorhome, covering items such as food,
crockery, cutlery, clothing, bedding, etc.

Loading

It should be noted that even weight
distribution is a major factor in making your
motorhome an easy and pleasant vehicle to
drive. Care should therefore be taken in
balancing the load, ensuring that heavy items
are well spaced and are in as low a position
as possible, for example, low cupboards and
bed boxes.

SENSIBLE LOADING

HOW TO APPORTION WEIGHT

Note: Light items are considered as clothing

and bedding. It is not recommended to travel
with tinned items in overhead lockers.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed maximum
technical permissible laden mass for your
motorhome.

Roof Racks

Some models of motorhomes have, available
as an option, a roof rack and ladder. Care is
needed when using this facility. We
recommend you exercise extreme caution
when loading and unloading.

CAUTION: Do not allow anyone to climb onto
the roof. Do not exceed the stated maximum
load. Items fitted other than standard
equipment will deplete the payload stated in
this handbook.

Roof Loading

All motorhomes have a specially designed
roof rack system fitted or available as an
optional extra. The roof of each motorhome is
strengthened to accommodate the roof rack.

Please note: The roof rack is capable of
withstanding a maximum weight of 12 stone/
76kgs. Static roof loading or top box loading
should be limited to a maximum of 76kgs
including contents, or the limit set by the top
box manufacturer, whichever is the lower
figure.

WARNING: Under NO circumstances walk
on the roof section

Before venturing out on to the road with your
motorhome, it is important that you prepare
correctly.

Roof loads should be evenly distributed and
securely fastened, but care must be taken
not to overtighten straps or ropes to the point
where roof rails or brackets may become
distorted, particularly as during braking and
cornering, forces exerted by straps or ropes
are greatly increased.

It is also worth noting that when carrying
heavy or large objects on the roof, the
vehicles handling may change due to the
resultant displacement of the centre of gravity
and the increased area exposed to the wind.

3-1

PREPARING FOR THE ROAD

BEFORE MOVING OFF

Whenever making a journey with your
motorhome, either setting off on holiday or
returning home, it is good practice to run
through this simple checklist.

(i) Close and secure all cupboards and

drawers and secure any loose articles.

(ii) Do not store tins, bottles, etc. in

overhead lockers.

(iii) Close and secure all windows and

roof lights.

(iv) Leave all curtains and blinds open to

aid visibility.

(v) Check that gas cylinders are securely

fastened and that the valve on the gas
cylinder is turned off. Also ensure that
the gas locker door is securely locked.

(vii) Switch off 240volt supply at source;

disconnect mains cable and store in an
appropriate place.

(viii) Check that the battery is secure and

that the battery box door is locked.

(ix) Ensure the fridge is on 12V operation

and door lock is set.
(Note: the electrical relays will allow
the fridge to be run on the vehicle
battery when the engine is running.)

(x) Remove any external fresh water

connections etc.

(xi) Make sure any heavy articles are

stored in accordance with the loading
procedure.

(xii) Lock the motorhome habitation door

(remember to take out your keys).

(xiii) Check your external rear view mirrors

and adjust if necessary.

(xiv) If a step is used, ensure it is put away

before moving off.

(xv) Your new Elddis motorhome has been

designed to carry passengers in
designated passenger seats only. The
fitting of a 3-point seat belt can identify
these seats. Any seat not fitted with a
3-point seat belt is not designated as a
passenger seat.

(xvi) You are strongly recommended not to

carry passengers unless they are
seated in a designated passenger
seat.

(xvii) Ensure all tables have been stored in

their designated table storage position.

(xviii) Ensure you remove all items from the

microwave and cocktail cabinet before
setting off.

Pulling Off

• Pull away smoothly.

•Avoid wear and tear on clutch and
transmission by taking extra care.

• Change gears smoothly.

•Try not to jerk the clutch.

Bicycle Racks

Fitting a bicycle rack to the rear panel of a
motorhome will affect how weight is
distributed. There are restraints to be aware
of with such fitments.

The maximum loading allowed on the back
panel is 75 kgs including the weight of the
bike rack and bicycles.

The motorhome must also be balanced to
take into account the new weight distribution.
Weight must be distributed evenly.

Bicycle racks are not standard fit or supplied
as an optional extra by Elddis. Elddis cannot
be held responsible for problems related to a
bicycle rack fitted by a third party. A copy of
the rear panel drawing must be obtained by
the retailer or service centre from Elddis to
ensure correct fixing points are located.

Tow Bars

Your new Elddis motorhome has been
designed to accept a Witter tow bar. This has
been approved via type approval to ensure it
is safe to use and is the only tow bar
approved for fitting to Elddis motorhomes.
The maximum load allowed on the tow ball is
100kgs and the maximum overhang is
specified by the tow bar when fitted. The
fitting points for the tow bar are designated
by the fixing hole in the Witter extensions
fitted to the Peugeot chassis and full details
are available upon request from Elddis.

MOTORWAY HANDLING

MOTORWAY HANDLING

Best Practice

To gain the most enjoyment and ensure a
long life for your motorhome, the following
should be observed:

• Do not bump kerbs with wheels.

• When overtaking ensure sufficient
clearance is given to other vehicles.

•Your motorhome will not accelerate as
quicly as a car, so take this into account
when attempting to overtake other
vehicles.

• Carry out all manoeuvers as smoothly as
possible.

• Use the wing mirror to check your
motorhome has cleared has cleared the
other vehicle.

•Slow down and take care when driving
over raised speed bumps, ‘sleeping
policemen’ or when embarking/
disembarking ferries.

•In high or cross winds, travelling downhill
or in conditions of poor visibility reduce
your speed.

•High-sided vehicles can cause air
buffeting so extra care must be taken
when passing or being passed. Leave as
much space as possible when overtaking
these types of vehicles

Speed Limits

Be sure to observe all statutory speed limits
and adapt your speed to take account of
prevailing weather and road conditions.

Towing Your Motorhome

In the unlikely event that you have to tow
your motorhome, the towing point is fitted
within the front bumper, behind the
removable flap provided by Peugeot. The
towing hook can be found in the tool box
supplied by Peugeot, found under the front
passenger seat.

ARRIVING ON SITE

ARRIVING ON SITE

CHECK SITE REGULATIONS

On arrival at a campsite, you should always
check the site regulations. This will help avoid
any unnecessary conflict with site
management and other site users.

SELECTING A PITCH

Carefully select where you wish to place your
motorhome. The site should be as level as
possible, preferably not under or near trees,
well drained and away from possible boggy
areas. Consider how you will move the
motorhome when it is time to leave the site.
On sloping ground it is better to pitch facing
downhill, especially during wet weather.

LATERAL LEVELLING (SIDE TO SIDE)

A quick glance at your pitch should tell you if
you are likely to need side to side leveling i.e.
levelling across the axle. On uneven ground
lateral levelling is accomplished by the use of
a leveler jack or ramp and a spirit level
placed ‘across’ the motorhome floor.

LEVELLER JACK

RAMP

Reverse onto your pitch about a foot further
back than you wish to end up. Then place the
levelling ramp in front of the wheel that needs
to be raised.

Place a spirit level parallel to the axle or just
inside the motorhome door. It helps to have
two people at this point. One should drive the
motorhome very slowly forward moving the
wheel up the ramp, and the other should
indicate when the spirit level bubble is in the
middle.

Whichever method you use, once level,
apply the motorhome handbrake and chock
the motorhome wheel if necessary.

Place the leveller jack, folded flat, in front of
the wheel that is to be raised to level the
axle. Drive the motorhome onto the leveler
jack and adjust the height until the spirit level
shows that the motorhome is laterally level.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED

You have arrived at your destination and now
want to start to enjoy your new Elddis
motorhome. The following is a step by step
guide to connecting your services and getting
everything in your motorhome working.

ELECTRICITY

Power Supply Charger

Your motorhome is fitted with a power supply/
charger. This will charge the motorhome
leisure battery when fitted and also power the
12V systems in your motorhome.

It is recommended that you always carry a
leisure battery.

The Charger is fully automatic and will not
overcharge the leisure battery.

Elddis recommend that you fit a good leisure
battery rated at least 85 amp hours.

12v Systems:

Your motorhome is fitted with an automatic
system for selection of power.

When connected to the 230V site supply the
automatic Power Supply/Charger will charge
the leisure battery and the 12V systems.

When the ignition is switched on the 12V
system in the motorhome is automatically
switched off, vehicle power is supplied to the
refrigerator and battery charging is in
operation.

GENERATOR/CHARGER

When connecting to a generator, always
switch off the RCD (residual current device),
start the generator and allow running for a
few minutes to stabilise. When this has
happened, switch the RCD to the ON
position.

ELECTRICITY MAINS SUPPLY

Your motorhome’s main electrical installation
is designed to run on 230V at 50 hertz AC
supply.

CONNECTING TO MAINS SUPPLY ON
ARRIVAL AT SITE

Before connecting the motorhome installation
to the mains supply, check that:

(i) The mains supply is suitable for your

installation and appliances, i.e. whether
it is AC or DC and whether it is at the
correct voltage and frequency.

(ii) Your motorhome is properly earthed.

Never accept a supply from a socket
outlet or plug having only two pins, or
from a lighting outlet.

(iii) Any residual current device (earth

leakage circuit breaker) in the mains
supply to the motorhome has been
tested within the last month. In case of
doubt, consult the site owner or their
agent.

(iv) Make sure that the switch at the site

supply point is off and that all electrical
equipment in the motorhome is switched
off by ensuring your motorhome mains
isolating switch on the MCB (miniature
circuit breaker) is in the ‘OFF’ position.

Once the above checks have been made:

(v) Remove any cover to the electricity inlet

provided on the motorhome, and insert
the female connector of the flexible
orange supply cable as shown.

(vi) Locate the site supply and remove any

cover from the socket outlet provided at
the supply point. Insert the male plug at
the other end of the flexible orange
supply cable. Switch on the main switch
at the site supply point (if appropriate).

6-1

GETTING STARTED

WIRING OF CONNECTING CABLE AND MOTORHOME MAINS INLET

WARNING: It is essential that connections are made exactly as shown. If terminal
markings are not in accordance with the above diagram they must be ignored.

(vii) Place any surplus cable under the

motorhome. Ensure that the surplus
cable is not coiled up as it could

DISCONNECTING MAINS SUPPLY
WHEN LEAVING SITE

(i) Switch ‘OFF’ at the motorhome mains

isolating switch.

(ii) Remove the male plug from the site

supply.

(iii) Disconnect the female plug from the

motorhome and store the cable in an
appropriate locker.

OVERSEAS ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION

Please Note: Connection to a mains voltage
supply OVERSEAS requires particular
attention.

Care must be taken when connecting
supplies abroad since the supplies can be of
REVERSE POLARITY.

The significance of REVERSE POLARITY is
that when equipment is switched off, it may
not be electrically isolated. The only certain
way of making equipment safe is to unplug it.

A means of checking the polarity of the mains
supply when overseas is recommended.
There are available several proprietary
makes of equipment for the purpose.

If it can be achieved, it is preferable to
connect live to live and neutral to neutral to
maintain full electrical protection.

CHECK all motorhome equipment is set-up
to accept the site supply before actually
switching on.

GAS SUPPLY

Your motorhome is designed to operate using
either propane or butane liquefied petroleum
gas at 30M/bar. Gas can be obtained from
your motorhome dealer. Your motorhome is
designed to accept a maximum 2 x 6kg Calor
Lite propane cylinders available from
motorhome dealers and Calor gas retailers.
For further information please visit
www.calorlite.co.uk.

Connection

Make sure that heating and cooking
appliances and gas cylinders are switched
off.

Each gas appliance is connected to its own
gas isolation tap under the cooker. These are
identified on the tap via a label. Below is a
key to identify each label.

To operate the tap the arrow on the tap
shows the direction of flow for the gas. The
arrow should be pointing towards the
appliance for the appliance to operate. There
will be a small label next to the bank of taps
under the cooker, which is also reproduced
below:

Gas Regulator

Your Motorhome is
fitted with a Road safe
gas regulator.

The operating
instructions are given
below.

Intended use

The Truma SecuMotion
gas-pressure regulator is
a device that ensures
uniform gas pressure (30
mbar) with a permissible
inlet pressure range of

0.3 - 16 bar.

SecuMotion regulates and monitors the
consumption of liquid gas. If the specified
consumption is exceeded or if the pressure at
the regulator outlet falls below 27 mbar (due
to gas pipe break, for example), the integrated
gas flow monitor will shut off the flow of gas. A
high pressure hose with a hose-break safety
device is essential for connecting the
SecuMotion gas pressure regulator to the gas
cylinder.

Truma offers hoses with common connection
fittings to enable use of gas cylinders with
various valve connection sizes.

Your Motorhome has been supplied with a
hose for connection to a propane gas
bottle.

The integrated overpressure safety device
complies with the requirements for a
commercial safety device against
impermissible pressure increases throughout
Europe, a type tested liquefied-gas heating
system may be used while driving (according
to the EU directive 2001/56/EC) if the system
includes a regulator with an appropriately
configured gas installation.

Pressure regulating devices and hoses must
be replaced with new ones no more than 10
years after their date of manufacture (every 8
years if used commercially). This is the
responsibility of the operator.

GETTING STARTED

High Pressure Gas Hoses

You should only connect to this regulator
using a length of approved high-pressure
hose not exceeding 450mm from the gas
cylinder to the regulator. These approved
high-pressure hoses are available from your
Elddis Retailer. These hoses are connected
using screw thread fittings, which will make a
seal if connected and tightened using a
spanner. Once the hose is securely
connected turn on the gas tap above the
regulator, then turn on the gas bottle to allow
gas to flow into the motorhome.

In order to make all your motorhome gas
appliances operational it is necessary to
open each appliance gas tap as detailed in
previous column. All your gas appliances
should now be operational. Instructions on
how to use each appliance are detailed later
in your handbook.

WARNING: Aerosols and highly flammable
liquids must not be stored in the
compartment behind, or adjacent to, any
gas appliance. Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it.
NEVER use such a regulator on a
motorhome.

Ventilation holes must be clear at all
times.

WATER SYSTEM

Filling your fresh water tank

Your Aspire motorhome is fitted with a
standard water inlet which can be filled using
a hose pipe connected to a tap placed into
the water filler point.

Please take care not to over fill your tank it is
advised that someone monitors the water
level in the tank while filling is in progress.

Waste Water Tank

Your new Elddis motorhome is also fitted with
a 70Litre waste water tank. All waste water
excluding the toilet waste will run into the
waste water tank. The level of water in the
tank can be monitored using the control
panel. Opening the grey waste outlet
provided on the outside of the motorhome
empties the tank. Open the tap when the
outlet is over a drain and the water will run
out of the tank.

Draining Down Your Water System

(i) It is essential that you drain down your

motorhome water system when it is not
in use. This is most important during
winter months to protect against frost
damage

(ii) Disconnect the water pump and switch

off power supply.

(iii) Open the safety drain valve on the water

heater located next to the water heater.

(iv) Open all taps and remove all plugs from

sinks and showers. Lever operated taps
should have the lever put into the up and
central position.

(v) Open both the blue and grey drain

outlets on the outside of your
motorhome.

(vi) Adjust the level of the motorhome to

ensure that the drain outlet is at the
lowest point of the motorhome.

After 30 minutes level the motorhome and
prepare it for storage if necessary.

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

GAS SAFETY ADVICE

In the event of a suspected gas leak the gas
must be turned off using the isolation valve
on the gas bottle. A competent gas fitter
should then check the system before it is
used/reused.

Regularly check flexible gas hose, joints and
connections for tightness. Finally, make sure
that each gas appliance is working efficiently
to the recommendations of the appliance
manufacturers.

See Index - Ventilation

FACTS ABOUT LPG

• LPG is not poisonous.

•Bi-products are harmless.

• LPG is dangerous if all air and oxygen is
excluded.

• LPG has been given a smell by the
manufacturers in order to identify leaks.

• The gas is heavier than air and therefore
sinks to the lowest point.

AWNING SPACES, LPG AND
APPLIANCE EXHAUST

There is no danger of pollution of an
enclosed awning space from the LPG
exhaust from a refrigerator venting into it.
Space heaters may produce sufficient
exhaust to pollute the awning space, if it is
totally enclosed, from a general comfort,
smell and hygiene point of view. In extreme
cases there could be a build up of carbon
dioxide to a dangerous level. Motorhome
owners are advised to allow some fresh air
circulation in the awning space when such
appliances are in use.

Please note: Ventilation holes must be clear
at all times.

LPG GAS SYSTEM

Elddis does not recommend the use of any
external cylinders. All cylinders in use should
be within the gas locker provided. If you wish
to utilise a larger cylinder and have this
outside the gas locker then the connecting
hose must not exceed 750mm.

It is recommended that no flammable
material is stored or placed within 300mm of
any open flame. Your attention is also drawn
to the fact that the surface of the Space
Heater in your motorhome will get hot when
in use. You are advised not to use any
additional gas appliances outside your
motorhome.

Please ensure that you have read the
operating instructions for each gas appliance
contained in your Owners Information Pack.
Please ensure that any gas hose left
unconnected is protected from dirt or other
foreign bodies entering the hose.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

12v POWER SUPPLY

Battery Installation

Your motorhome will be fitted with a charging
and power distribution unit.

If you wish to install a leisure battery please
ensure that it is placed on the battery tray
supplied with your motorhome. Then place
the tray in the battery locker fitted to the side
of your motorhome. Connect the battery to
the clamp fittings connected to the
connection leads within the battery box.

Elddis recommends that you use sealed for
life leisure batteries of a minimum rating off
85 ampere-hours at 20 hours discharge rate.

Battery Maintenance

Your leisure battery should be maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. For information on the automatic
charging system in your motorhome please
refer to ‘Automatic Charging System’ in the
index.

Do not charge your leisure battery with any
charger other than that supplied. Failure to
comply may cause damage to your battery. If
you remove your leisure battery, ensure that
it is not placed on a cold surface as the
battery will deteriorate more rapidly than if
stored at a suitable temperature

Generators / Charger

All electrical equipment fitted in your new
motorhome can be run from either a
controlled generator or charger whose output
is maintained between 11volts and 14volts.

At least once every 3 years, the motorhome
electrical installation should be inspected and
tested, and a report on its condition obtained,
as prescribed in British Standard BS7671.

230v POWER SUPPLY

Mains Unit

The Mains Unit replaces the conventional
fuse box. Similar, but larger ones are often
fitted in new houses. The unit, normally
located in the wardrobe, gives overloads and
earth leakage protection for the 230V
electrical supply in your motorhome.

For normal operation all switches on the unit
need to be in the ON position. The switches
on the left of the unit are known as MCB’s
(miniature circuit breakers). These take the
place of the conventional fuse but are more
convenient. In the event of a fault the MCB
‘trips’ i.e. automatically moves to the OFF
position. After elimination of the fault the
MCB can be re-set by switching to the ON
position (against the spring pressure in an
upwards direction). If an earth fault develops,
or a person was to touch a live piece of
equipment, the leakage of current to earth
should immediately operate the RCD
(residual current device) and ‘trip’ the main
switch, to the OFF position. This switch can
only be re-set after elimination of the fault.

Please note: In case of difficulty, consult an
approved electrical installation contractor
(who may be the local electricity board). It is
dangerous to attempt modifications and
additions yourself.

CAUTION: Lamp holder-plugs (bayonet- cap
adaptors) should not be used under any
circumstances.

Resetting the RCD

To re-set, operate the switch as for MCB’s.
Periodically, the RCD should be checked by
operating the test button marked ‘T’. The unit
should immediately switch to the OFF
position. If the unit does not switch off then a
qualified electrician should be consulted. If
the unit does switch off, the test is complete
and the switch can be re-set restoring the
supply back to normal.

Please note: Simultaneous operation of all
of the 230V mains electrical equipment may
not be possible. A typical UK site mains hook­up point provides a maximum output of 16
amps and on some continental sites the
available output may be as low as 5 amps. If
your loading exceeds the site supply it may
trip the site circuit breaker. Please check the
available mains output with your site
operator. The following items need to be
added together if used simultaneously.
