INSTALLATION
Note: the unit should be fixed to a rigid flat surface as unevenness could cause damage to
the product or affect operation
• Provide power to the required point of installation (refer to BS7671 for correct cabling
methods)
• Remove the front assembly from the backbox and carefully lift off the gasket. Drill the
required number of fixing holes in the backbox (see Fig. 1)
• Using the backbox as a template, mark the location for, and drill the fixing holes ensuring
not to infringe with any gas/water pipes or electrical cables

• The backbox has drain hole drilling guides marked (see Fig. 2). Drilling a drain hole is
advised if the unit is installed in a location subject to temperature fluctuations where
build-up of condensation may occur. It is not advised if the unit will be subject to high
pressure jets, as drilling a drain hole will reduce the IP rating. A 3-5mm hole should be
drilled at the bottom back edge of the enclosure where marked. If wiring in conduit to the
bottom entry then the drain hole should be drilled at the lowest point of the conduit run not in the backbox
Fig. 2
• Remove one or more of the pre-fitted blank plugs as required by pushing out from the
inside and install a suitable IP rated gland or adaptor (not supplied). For rear entry, cut or
drill a 20/25mm hole where marked and install a suitable IP rated grommet (not supplied).
Unused cable entries must have the blank plugs fitted
• Feed the mains cable into the unit and secure the base plate to the surface. The fixing holes
are slotted to allow some rotational adjustment

• Replace the gasket onto the backbox, then wire as shown in Fig. 3 ensuring that correct
polarity is observed: L - Live (brown), E - Earth (green/yellow), N - Neutral (blue)
Fig. 3
• An earth connection must be made to the earth terminal of the socket. Use green/yellow
sleeving on earth conductors that are not insulated. The earth terminal in the backbox is
provided for convenience and does not need to be connected
• Check all electrical connections are secure with no loose strands of cable
• Ensuring the gasket does not become damaged or pinched, fit the socket assembly onto
the backbox, taking care not to compress, damage or trap any cables, and secure with the
screws provided - do not overtighten
• Fit screw covers
• Switch on and check for correct operation
• For security, and to prevent unwanted tampering with the product, a lug feature with a
6mm hole is provided to accept a padlock or similar locking security device (not included)

RCD TEST PROCEDURE
Press the green RESET button to switch on the supply. The red indicator should appear.
To test that the RCD is operating correctly, press the yellow TEST button. The red indicator should
turn green, this will disconnect the load. To restore power, press the green RESET button. The red
indicator should reappear.
If the RCD should trip due to a fault, the RESET button can be pressed after the fault is rectified.
If the RCD will not reset, remove any connected loads and check for faults, water ingress or
damage.
Following a power cut the RCD will automatically reset itself and does not need manually
resetting. Care should be taken to avoid connected loads powering up without warning.
The TEST button should be pressed at regular intervals to check the RCD is functioning correctly.
We recommend testing every 6 months. If the red indicator does not turn green when the TEST
button is pressed, do not use.
