18. Make sure it is safe to apply electrical power to the Unit.
19. Apply electrical power to the Unit and, if applicable, switch the Unit’s circuit
breaker to the ON position.
20. Test the Unit and the electricity supply from the Unit in accordance with current
Electrical Wiring Regulations.
Security
When installation of the Unit is complete, the clear hatch (if fitted) should be secured with
a suitable padlock to prevent access and to prevent the entry of dust and/or water to the
enclosure.
Some units also feature lockable socket covers and/or lockable rotary power switches
allowing a small padlock to be used to prevent tampering and uncontrolled use of
electricity.

Operation
Warning: Electrical Hazard
xDo NOT exceed the power rating displayed on the label.
xDo NOT change the cable plug/coupler to accept a connection to a higher
rated power source.
xDo NOT extend cables without taking advice from a qualified electrician.
xDo NOT place strain on the connection(s) or stretch the cable.
xMake sure the cable is fully uncoiled before use. Coiled power cables can
generate heat and electrical fields.
xDo NOT use damaged cables or connectors.
xDo NOT use contaminated cables or connectors.
xWhen in use, make sure cables do not present an obstruction or trip hazard.
xAfter use, store removeable cables in a clean, dry and secure environment.
Socket Units
Connect a Power Connection Cable to an Interlocked Hook-Up Unit
1. Fully uncoil the cable.
2. Make sure the plug, coupler, cable and Hook-Up Unit appear to be in an
undamaged, serviceable condition.
3. Make sure the cable is securely connected to the caravan (or appliance) socket.
4. Make sure the rotary power switch on the Hook-Up Unit is in the OFF position.
xIt should not be possible to turn the switch without a cable connected.
xIf the switch is in the wrong position, there may be damage to the
switch/connection. Do not use the connection until repairs have been
made.
5. Insert the plug of the Hook-Up cable into the Hook-Up socket.
6. Make sure the circuit breaker is in the
ON position.
7. Turn the rotary power switch to the
ON position.
Power should now be available.
Figure 5 Rotary Power Switch Positions
NOTE: Rotary power switches can be locked to prevent use when in the Power OFF
position. Apertures in the outer ring of the switch (at the 2 o’clock and 7 o’clock
positions) allows a padlock or similar device to be used to prevent the switch being
turned to the ON position.

Operation
ROECUIDM-01-V01-R0 Installation and Operation Manual Outdoor Electrical Connection Units
Page 17 of 20 June 2022
Disconnect the Power Connection Cable from an Interlocked Hook-Up Unit
1. Make sure the rotary power switch is turned to the OFF position.
2. Pull the Hook-Up cable from the Hook-Up unit.
3. Make sure the socket cover is closed when not connected to a cable.
4. Remove the cable from the caravan (or appliance) socket.
5. Loosely coil the power cable ready for next use and store in a clean, dry and
secure environment.
Direct Connection Units
Direct Connection Units do NOT have a rotary power switch and, as standard, are not
supplied with a connection cable or connector plug.
Direct Connection Units are intended to be wired directly to the building (or
appliance)and electrical power coming from the Unit is permanently live unless
interrupted by the RCBO or power is stopped at source before being fed to the Unit.

Unit Maintenance
WARNING:
xElectrical maintenance of this product must only be performed by
an appropriately qualified and competent person, in accordance
with the regulations in force in the region of installation.
xReplacement sockets/couplers must be of the same type and rating
as the original items. Do NOT exceed the power rating of the original
fittings.
1. Regularly clean the external surfaces of the equipment with a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
To avoid damage to the surface finish, and/or internal components do NOT use:
xAbrasive materials.
xMineral or petroleum solvents / degreasers.
xHose pipes.
xJet washers.
xSteam cleaners.

4. Make sure the enclosure is secure on its mounting location.
5. Make sure the power cable entering the enclosure is in good condition and that it is
securely attached to the enclosure.
6. Make sure the clear flap (if installed) is in good condition, moves smoothly, can be
closed securely, and that a weather resistant seal is made.
7. Make sure socket covers (if installed) are present and can close securely when a
cable is not in use.
8. Make sure electrical cables are secure and are in a serviceable condition.

Unit Maintenance
ROECUIDM-01-V01-R0 Installation and Operation Manual Outdoor Electrical Connection Units
Page 19 of 20 June 2022
RCBOs
A ‘Residual Current Breaker with Over-Current’ (RCBO) is an electrical fault, safety device
that combines the functions of a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and a residual current
device (RCD). Operation by the end user is virtually identical for all these devices.
Each Rolec Hook-Up Unit is equipped with an RCBO of the appropriate rating which will
cut power to the Hook-Up socket(s) or cable in the event of:
xEarth Leak – Where a physical break or damage to the electrical circuit is detected
being fed to Earth. Often when someone accidentally cuts into a cable.
xOvercurrent – Where too much power is being drawn through the unit.
xShort Circuit – Where there is a direct connection between live and neutral
conductors.
If the RCBO is activated (tripped), the lever on the front of the device will point
downwards. The RCBO may be reset when the issue is resolved.
To reset the RCBO, simply move the lever to the upwards position.
IMPORTANT: If the RCBO trips regularly or cannot be reset, the issue should be
investigated by and appropriately qualified electrician.
Power Consumption Meters
If installed, meters installed in Caravan Hook-up and Direct Connections Units comply with
the Measuring Instruments Directive - 2014/32/EU.
xThe meter reading window is located next to the RCBO. If power to the meter is lost,
the meter display will go blank but the reading will not be lost and will be displayed
again when power is restored.
If a Smartcard meter is installed, operating instructions for the meter are shown on a label
attached to the unit.
