Information about the device
Device description
The device serves for the mobile power supply on varying
application devices. It comes with the following device
characteristics:
• 4safety sockets CEE7/3 with one PlugSafe appliance each
• Solid rubber housing with integrated carrying handle
• Secured beneath a transparent sealing cap that can be
locked optionally
• 1MID-compliant energy meter(kWh)
• 8eyelets
• 1residual current device(RCD) for commercial and
industrial use in wet rooms
The PlugSafe appliance serves for protecting an inserted plug
from unauthorised replacing or swapping and from unauthorised
plugging of an additional consumer to the PV4-MID PS.
For sealing the sockets, use the Trotec pull-up seals (numbered
consecutively). The seals can prevent manipulations. You can
purchase the consecutively numbered pull-up seals under the
articlenumber6.100.002.085 in a pack of10.
The German supervisory authority requires MID-compliant
energy meters for the use of devices in the renovation area or
for drying housings, if the energy consumption is to be recorded
and billed by use of the energy meter. Moreover, it has to be
ensured that the measuring device cannot be manipulated.
Please note that the connected devices that are equipped with
service sockets have to be protected from the unauthorised
connection of additional consumers and from the unauthorised
replacement of a justifiably connected consumer according to
the Measurement and Calibration Act. If required, you can
separately purchase the Plug Safe flange plate for this purpose
under the articlenumber6.100.002.083 in a pack of10. Have
the flange plate mounted by a qualified electrician at the service
socket of your device. You can close the multiple socket outlet
by pulling the seals through the eyelets.

Securing the multiple socket outlet by means of seals
You can protect the multiple socket outlet against unauthorised
access by means of one or more seals(12). Securing the
multiple socket outlet can be realised whether a plug has been
inserted into the safety socket(5) or not.
One seal(12) per plug or safety socket(5) will be required. For
assembly of the seals(12) please proceed as follows:
1. Open the cover of a safety socket(10).
2. Pull the open end of the seal cable(14) out of the
anchoring at the end of the seal(12).
3. Then, pull the open end of the seal cable(14) through an
eyelet(9) of a safety socket(5).
4. If there is a plug inserted in the safety socket(5), wind the
seal cable around the safety plug one time.
5. Then, pull the open end of the seal cable(14) through the
opposing eyelet(9) of the safety socket(5).
6. Pull the open end of the seal cable(14) through the
anchoring for the seal(13) and tighten the seal cable.
7. Check whether the safety socket(5) can be opened.
ðIf this is the case, tighten the seal cable or repeat
steps1–7.
ðIf you cannot open the safety socket(5) any longer or if the
plug cannot be pulled out, the safety socket(5) is secured.

Cleaning
Warning of electrical voltage
Before any work on the device, remove the mains plug
from the mains socket!
Hold onto the mains plug while pulling the power cable
out of the mains socket.
Clean the device with a soft, damp and lint-free cloth. Ensure
that no moisture enters the housing. Protect electrical
components from moisture. Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents such as cleaning sprays, solvents, alcohol-based or
abrasive cleaners to dampen the cloth.
Wipe the housing dry after cleaning.
Errors and faults
The device has been checked for proper functioning several
times during production. If malfunctions occur nonetheless,
check the device according to the following list.
The residual current device trips:
First carry out a visual check of the multiple socket outlet and
the connected devices.
There is a defect on the multiple socket outlet or on the
connected consumer:
• Take the defective multiple socket outlet out of operation
and do not use it any longer.
• Take the connected defective device out of operation and
do not use it any longer.
Have the connected device and/ or the multiple socket outlet
checked by a qualified electrician.
There is no defect on the multiple socket outlet:
• Switch the residual current device(7) back on.
The residual current device trips repeatedly:
Carry out the following steps for verifying the defect:
• Carry out a function test of the multiple socket outlet by
checking it according to the Maintenance chapter without
a device being connected.
• If the residual current device(7) does not trip when
actuating the test button T(2), do not use the multiple
socket outlet any longer. Have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
• If the residual current device(7) trips when actuating the
test button T(2), switch the residual current device(7)
back on again and connect the device to the multiple
socket outlet. If the residual current device(7) then trips
again, take the device out of operation and have it checked
by a qualified electrician.

EN 13
multiple socket outlet PV4-MID-PS
Warning
Risk of injury by unintentional start-up of consumers!
Electronic devices connected to the multiple socket
outlet can start up automatically and cause injuries
when a triggered residual current device restarts.
Only switch on the residual current device after having
switched off the connected devices or after having
disconnected them from the multiple socket outlet.
Maintenance
Visual inspection
Check the device for external damage before every start-up.
Should you detect any damage at the device or its mains cable,
have it fixed by a qualified electrician.
Regular inspections
Warning of electrical voltage
Work on the electrical components must only be
carried out by a qualified electrician!
Warning of electrical voltage
There is a risk of an electric shock when touching
damaged, open or live parts.
Never clean a live socket.
Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket
before cleaning it.
Never immerse the multiple socket outlet in water!
Clean the multiple socket outlet with a dry cloth.
The device must be regularly checked by a qualified electrician
for proper functioning and proper condition. If used in office
spaces or similar ambient conditions, this inspection shall be
carried out at least every 2years. If used on construction and
installation sites, the inspection shall be carried out
every 3months. If an error rate of <2% is reached, the
inspection intervals may be extended to max. once per year.
Checking the residual current device
Info
Generally, the power supply of all consumers is
interrupted for testing the residual current device.
Make sure that– when testing the residual current
device– no currently required consumer is connected
to the device.
The proper functioning of the residual current device(7) needs
to be checked at intervals of approx. 3months.
The functionality can be checked by means of the test button
T(2) every residual current device is equipped with.
If you press the test button T(2), an artificial residual current
will be generated and the residual current device(7) has to trip.
Also observe the inspection intervals specified in the regulations
and provisions (e.g.accident prevention regulations).
Disposal
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin on waste
electrical or electronic equipment stipulates that this equipment
must not be disposed of with the household waste at the end of
its life. You will find collection points for free return of waste
electrical and electronic equipment in your vicinity. The
addresses can be obtained from your municipality or local
administration. For further return options provided by us please
refer to our website https://de.trotec.com/shop/.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment aims to enable the re-use, recycling and other forms
of recovery of waste equipment as well as to prevent negative
effects for the environment and human health caused by the
disposal of hazardous substances potentially contained in the
equipment.
