RCD TEST PROCEDURE
Press the green RESET button to switch on the supply - the red indicator should appear.
To test 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.
The fused spur is fitted with a 13A fuse to BS1362. To replace the fuse, gently prise open the fuse carrier
with a small flat-bladed screwdriver.
