Safety advice
What is a safety RCD module?
Your safety RCD module connuously monitors the power supply to
any electrical appliance plugged in to it and cuts o the power within
40 milliseconds if an earth current fault is detected. This is fast enough
to prevent a fatal electric shock. Electrical equipment can become
dangerous if the wiring becomes loose, if they or their power cords
become damaged, or if they get wet. Electrocuon is also possible if
ngers, spillages or other conducve bodies enter the appliance. In all
these cases your safety RCD socket will instantly cut the electricity
before you or a colleague receives a potenally fatal electric shock.
Latching operaon
If the unit looses supply, perhaps in a power cut or when a hazardous
earth fault occurs, the RCD will trip and cut the power supply.
When the supply resumes through the RCD, the RCD will revert to the
original state and supply power without the need for reseng.
DUE TO LATCHING OPERATION, FOR SAFETY THIS PRODUCT
SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD
CAUSE A HAZARD IF RE-ENERGISED WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

requirements, and further installaon steps.
Prepare the input cable, which
must be approved to
BS EN 50525-2-31:2011
HO5VV-F - Strip back the
outer sheathing to reveal
44mm for Live and Neutral
cables, 46mm for Earth.
Strip 8mm o each cable to
reveal the conductor.
HO7V-R - Strip 8mm o each
cable to reveal the conductor.
Loosen the terminal
screws and insert the
correct coloured wire
into each terminal and
ghten.
Ensure only bare ends
enter the terminal and
do not over ghten
the terminal screws.
Slide into extrusion
or assemble into a
NEX300 housing.
Ensure end caps
and cover plates
are ed as per
extrusion or housing
instrucons.
Test procedure - TEST BEFORE USE
Ensure power is on to the NEX3001 - press the RESET buon,
the RED indicator should appear.
