Circuit breaker safety adapter
BDI-A 30 GB 3210
Caution: Important safety precautions!
– This adapter is intended to be connected to a
240 V ~ mains power supply and does not
belong in the hands of children.
Warning: Electric shocks can be fatal.
– Its use under conditions, e.g. in ambient
temperatures above 40°C or in the presence of
combustible gases, solvents, fumes, dust, relative
humidity above 80% or in wet conditions is to be
avoided without fail.
– If it can be assumed that risk-free use is no longer
possible, stop using the adapter immediately and
make it secure against unintentional use.
Risk-free operation can no longer be assumed if it
fails the function test, exhibits visible damage or is
damaged in transit or through storage under un-
favourable conditions.
– Servicing and repairs may only be carried out by
authorised, qualified persons. Only genuine manu-
facturer’s spare parts may be used for replace-
ment purposes.
Description of function
The electronic safety adapter is a highly sensitive,
transferable item of equipment which provides pro-
tection against hazardous accidents resulting from
physical contact with live leads or parts. If a potential
risk arises, the adapter responds even at low leak-
age currents (minimum 30 mA), interrupting the pow-
er supply within a few milliseconds and assuring
safe, swift protection between the power socket and
the connected appliance.

Directions for use
1. Always plug the adapter directly into a wall socket.
2. Plug extension cables, cable reels, trailing sock-
ets, etc. into the safety adapter. Plug in the electri-
cal appliance (in switched-off condition).
3. Switch on the adapter by pressing the RESET
button. A red indicator must appear in the window
above the RESET button.
4. Now carry out a function test by pressing the
TEST button. A distinct switching noise must be
heard and the red indicator must disappear.
5. The adapter must not be used if the switching noi-
se is not heard and the red indicator continues to
appear in the window.
6. If the test proves successful, press the RESET
button again. The adapter is now ready for use.
Note:
From time to time, carry out a function test,
press the Test button and perform the procedure
described above.
After a power cut, switch on the adapter again.
The safety adapter is not suitable for appliances
which may give rise to consequential damage if
disconnected from the power supply for a
prolonged period of time (e.g. refrigerators, free-
zers, etc.).
This safety adapter does not eliminate the need
for other essential protective measures.
