ETD TOUGH WORKSITE POWER-BOARD with SAFETY RCBO CURRENT & RCD PROTECTION.

IP66 RATED – CLASS PSOA DEVICE to AS/NZS 3190:2016

  • Whilst ETD PSOAs provide an unsurpassed level of protection, do note the electricity can be dangerous and that the use of an RCD should not be regarded as substitute for basic electrical safety precautions.
  • These devices will protect against faults to earth through the body, but not against active to neutral faults.
  1. Fully uncoil the power lead, plug directly into a mains connected power point (never use an extension lead) and switch power outlet to ON
  2. Before connection of any appliance – Lift RCBO cover and ensure RCBO switch is set to ON
  3. ALWAYS TEST BEFORE EACH USE – Press T – TEST button to check – The RCBO MUST trip to the OFF position
  4. DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE if this test procedure fails as the RCBO may be faulty and should be returned for repair
  5. If the above TEST is passed switch RCBO to ON and connect appliances for use
  6. If RCBO trips during normal use – unplug all appliances and, by process of elimination, plug in all appliances in turn in order to find faulty appliance
  7. The faulty appliance must be removed from the PSOA and checked by a qualified person
  8. The RCBO can also trip through OVERCURRENT PROTECTION

The TOTAL MAXIMUM LOAD is 32A – 7680W at 240V~

  1. Remove and unplug appliances if the total combined load is over 32A – 7680W at 240V~
  2. ALWAYS UNPLUG equipment to achieve isolation before any inspection or repair
  3. CONTAINS NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS – RETURN TO VENDOR FOR SERICE OR REPAIR

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Most portable electrical equipment must be Tested & Tagged in accordance with AS/NZS 3760 prior to introduction to commercial premises or prior to introduction to service on a construction or work site.
  • If the unit continually trips you may be operating a faulty appliance – Do get the appliance in question for causing tripping tested by a qualified electrician before using again.
  • Do unplug any electrical equipment from power prior to inspection or repair.
  • Keep the IP66 rated surface socket covers closed to prevent the penetration of rain when not in use.
  • Standard 10A plugged appliances and leads appropriate to worksite use can be attached to the PSOA but the connection will not be IP66 rated. These standard 10A plugged appliances should be disconnected in the event of rain and the IP66 surface socket outlet covers fully closed.
  • Do use and fit IP66 plugs to your appliances to be used with your PSOA to provide a ‘Lock On’ secure fit which is IP66 rated and safer in all weather conditions
  • Do ensure that the IP66 Rated RCBO cover is securely closed at all times. Do not let rain penetrate the RCBO.
  • Do visually inspect the PSOA carefully before each use. If any damage is observed do not use.
  • Do not use the PSOA in a flammable environment.
  • Do not immerse the PSOA in water or liquids.
  • Do not store the PSOA in adverse conditions or subject to impact as this may affect performance.
