General
The Timeguard range of RCDs provides protection against fire
hazard and rapid double pole disconnection from electric shock for
the appliance and cable connected to it. They comply fully with
BS7288 and BS1363. 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.

The RCD fused connection unit is a latching (passive) version. If set,
this will retain closed contacts if the mains supply is interrupted –
essential for applications such as freezers.

The RCD socket units come in two forms, a latching (passive)
version with the third letter set to ‘P’ (passive) and the last letter ‘L’
in the type number and a non-latching (active) version which has the
third letter set to ‘A’ (active). The latching version, if set, will retain
closed contacts if the mains supply is interrupted – essential for
applications such as freezers. The non-latching version, if set, allows
the contacts to open if the mains supply is interrupted – a "safety
must" for applications such as power tools.

Lock rings, with a maximum thickness of 4.2mm and a maximum
diameter of 25.7mm must be used on the inside of the box on TL
(top left) and TR (top right) entries to secure the gland or conduit.
The gland or conduit must not project into the box beyond the lock
ring. A male adaptor should be used within the box on TC
(top centre) and BC (bottom centre) entries along with a female
coupler on the outside to terminate cable glands or conduit.

General RCD Instructions
The RCD should form part of a 30A ring main or terminate a spur
off a 30A ring main. The cable connecting to the supply to the RCD
should be either: 2 x 2.5 sq mm for the ring main or 1 x 2.5 sq mm
for the spur.
TFP10WL only – Fit the appropriate BS1362 fuse to suit the load
appliance to be connected.
The cable connecting the load appliance (spur only) should be rated
according to the fuse fitted to the connection unit.
Strip sleeving and insulation and cut wires as required for the
appliance cable. Tighten the screw terminals onto the exposed wires
maintaining the correct polarity, then fit the cable into the cable
clamp groove and tighten down the clamp box to retain the cable.
All RCDs – Ensure that there is sufficient length of the supply cable
tail(s) to enable easy wiring. Strip sleeving and insulation and cut
6
wires as required. Tighten the screw terminals onto the exposed
wires maintaining correct polarity and offer the unit up to the wall
box, forming the cable as required. Screw RCD to wall box and
tighten sufficiently to hold in place. Do not over tighten.
Note: with some makes of BS4662 boxes it will be necessary to bend
back the upper and lower fixing lugs to enable the RCD to be fitted.
General RCD Operation
Always test the RCD before use.
To test:
RESET – press the grey/blue button marked Reset (R), the status
indicator should show red.
TEST – press the red button marked Test (T), status indicator should
show black. This indicates that the RCD has been tripped and power
has been disconnected from the outlet.
RESET – press the grey/blue button marked Reset (R) again, the
status indicator should show red.
If all the above operations work satisfactorily, the RCD is safe for
use. If the procedure is not completed satisfactorily do not use the
RCD and seek professional advice.
In applications such as hand driers it may not be practical to expect
each user to test before use. In this case we suggest an appropriate
person applies the test routine twice a day.
To use:
After satisfactorily testing the RCD, any connected appliance may be
switched on, and used in the confidence that the user is protected
from electric shock by rapid disconnection.
If the RCD trips:
Turn the appliance switch off, press the Reset (R) button and note
that the status indicator turns red. Switch the appliance on and if the
RCD trips again, switch off the appliance and do not use it, as it may
be faulty. Seek professional advice.

Safety Issues to Remember
• 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.
Wiring Tests - Important
Remove this product from circuit if carrying out tests (as described in
the IEE Wiring Regulations) for earth loop impedance, prospective
9 1
short circuit current and insulation resistance.
Use the enclosed warning label to ensure this is carried out.
