IF RV-PLUS TRIPS IN SERVICE:
First rule out that the RV-PLUS is at fault by
performing the above test procedure. The
RV-PLUS will trip due to overload or an earth
leakage fault. If you are unsure of the cause,
or you believe there is an earth leakage fault,
turn off all power and contact a licensed
electrician. If you believe there is an
overload, switch off or unplug some of the
appliances and reset the RV-PLUS.
Electricity can be dangerous! RCDs (Residual
Current Devices) are not a substitute for
basic electrical safety precautions. RCDs are
additional protection and will not prevent
shock, but will minimise the effect. Do not
use this device if it fails to operate correctly
in accordance with these instructions.
The RV-PLUS is rated 240 Volts with a
maximum current rating of 10 Amperes (A).
Do not try to open or repair the RV-PLUS
yourself. No user-serviceable parts are
inside. Test RV-PLUS before each use.
This device will only protect against faults to
earth through the body, but not against
active to neutral faults.
This device must be connected DIRECTLY to
an outlet socket. It must not be connected
