Installation & Operating Instructions

1. General Information

These instructions should be read carefully and retained
for further reference and maintenance. The Timeguard
range of RCDs, provide protection against fire hazard and
rapid double pole disconnection from electric shock for the
appliance connected to it. They fully comply with BS7288
and BS1363-2 (including updates and amendments).
They are designed to mount on either a BS4662 recessed
box or a BS5733 surface mount box (plastic versions only).
Note: RCD – Residual Current Device.

2. Safety

• Before installation or maintenance, ensure the mains

supply to the RCD fused connection unit is switched off
and the circuit supply fuses are removed or the circuit
breaker turned off.

• It is recommended that a qualified electrician is
consulted or used for the installation of RCD fused
connection unit and install in accordance with the
current IEE wiring and Building Regulations.

• Check that the total load on the circuit including when
this RCD fused connection unit is fitted does not exceed
the rating of the circuit cable, fuse or circuit breaker.

• Electricity can be dangerous, use of an RCD should not
be regarded as a substitute for basic electrical safety
precautions.

• Always test the RCD before use. If the test procedure
is not completed satisfactorily or an appliance continues
to trip the RCD seek professional advice and switch off
the appliance.

• To clean use a dry cloth only.
Do NOT use any liquid cleaners.

• The RCD should NOT be used when it could come into
contact with liquids or excessive atmospheric pollution.

• A warming of the casing during use is normal.

• Do NOT use outside the service conditions.

• For devices having a solid neutral, ensure the correct
polarity of the incoming supply connections should the
device trip automatically upon connection to the supply.

3. Wiring Tests – IMPORTANT

• Remove this product from the circuit if carrying out tests
(as described in the IEE Wiring Regulations) for earth
loop impedance, prospective short circuit current
and insulation resistance.

• Use the enclosed wiring label to ensure this is
carried out.
