IF AMPFIBIAN MINI TRIPS IN SERVICE
First rule out that the MINI is at fault by
performing the above test procedure.
The MINI 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 MINI.
The Ampfibian MINI is rated 240 Volts with
a maximum current rating of 10A.
Do not try to open or repair the MINI
yourself. No user-serviceable parts are
inside. If the supply cord is damaged, it
shall be replaced by the manufacturer or
its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
Test the MINI before use as described in
step 3. 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 via cord extension sets.
To achieve the Ampfibian MINI’s ingress
protection rating of IP33 (water spray up
to 60 degrees from vertical), it must sit on
a hard floor with the RCD/MCB facing
downwards and the markings “THIS WAY
UP” facing upwards. The MINI is intended
to be used indoors or undercover.
WARNING: 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.
RCDs WILL TRIP FOR A FAULT BETWEEN
THE BODY TO EARTH, BUT NOT FOR
ACTIVE TO NEUTRAL FAULTS. DO NOT USE
THIS DEVICE IF IT FAILS TO OPERATE
CORRECTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not expose to petrol, oil, solvents, pool
chemicals, etc.
