The PRCD-S
+
is an all-pole switching portable RCD circuit breaker with electronic fault
evaluation for use on socket outlets with unknown protection measures, enabling persons
and electrical equipment to safely draw current from a feed point.
Field of application:
As a portable residual current circuit breaker with a rated differential current of
IΔn ≤ 30 mA or IΔn ≤ 10mA for alternating currents, pulsating DC residual currents and
phase-controlled residual currents.
Function:
• The PRCD-S
+
isolates all poles when tripped: In the event of a fault, the power supply
via L and N is interrupted and the signal unit on the device lights up red. For additional
safety, the PE conductor contact nevertheless remains closed until the fault has been
cancelled. When the fault has been remedied, the PRCD-S
+
can be activated again with
the press of a button.
• Every time the device is switched on, a routine check is performed to test the safe
condition of the socket outlet.
• The PE conductor circuit is switched on in advance and switched off with a delay
• The integral undervoltage trip prevents automatic restarting after a power failure or an
interruption in the power supply.
• The integral surge voltage protection detects 400 VAC and 220 VDC and does not allow
these to pass (a weak point occurs).
• The PRCD-S
+
cannot be switched on or switches itself off if:
°
The PE conductor is interrupted.
°
A fault voltage is measured on the PE conductor.
°
A surge voltage or undervoltage is detected.
°
A broken conductor is detected.
In the event of a fault voltage on the PE conductor, the protection device switches off
the L and N conductor but maintains the connection to the PE conductor circuit.
The PRCD-S
+
detects and protects in the case of the following faults:
• N conductor interrupted • PE conductor interrupted
• External voltage on the PE conductor • Undervoltage or voltage failure
• Surge voltage • DC voltage
• Wiring errors • Fault currents with rated values of
(L and PE conductor reversed) 30 mA or 10 mA
Installation:
• Installation, commissioning and function testing must be carried out by a
qualified electrician!
• Observe the 5 safety rules!
• The direction of the energy flow must be maintained at all times!
• When connecting the device, pay attention to the designations “IN” and
“OUT” and to the direction on the arrow in the cover of the electronics.
• The PRCD-S
+
must be subjected to regularly recurring inspections in accordance
with the national statutory regulations and the regulations in the country of use,
e.g. DIN VDE 0701-0702. Inspection recommendations can be found at
www.prcd-s.info.

Operation:
Switch ON
• Insert the mains plug of the PRCD-S
+
into a socket outlet. If the mains
power supply is OK, the signal unit
flashes after approx. 1–2 sec.
Testing time of the unit in GREEN.
• Press and briefly hold the button of the PRCD-S
+
. A routine check is
performed within <1 sec. (connection, mains supply,…).
The PRCD-S
+
switches ON, the signal unit illuminates continuously
in GREEN.
• The PRCD-S
+
is now ready for operation. The button can now
be released.
Switch OFF
• Press the button on the PRCD-S
+
briefly.
• The signal unit flashes GREEN.
• All poles of the PRCD-S
+
are now switched off:
The PRCD-S
+
must not be used for:
• Heating appliances or similar applications
(no automatic restarting after a power failure)
• Machines with high starting currents
• IT current networks (isolating transformers, power generators, etc.…).
The presence of a PE conductor is mandatory for the function of the PRCD-S
+
.
Differential current faults
are indicated by the signal unit flashing
red. In this case, the PRCD-S
+
from PCE gives a visual warning and
switches off immediately. The PE conductor circuit is maintained until
the fault is cancelled! Maximum possible personal protection
is assured.
Measuring errors caused, for example, by the wearing of a glove when
switching on are indicated by the signal unit flashing red. In this case,
the PRCD-S
+
from PCE gives a visual warning and does not switch on.
Maximum possible personal protection is assured.
After acknowledging the fault, repeat the starting procedure without
a glove or after changing your location.
If, when switching on, the signal unit illuminates red or
remains neutral within approx. 1 sec., there is a fault.
The PRCD-S
+
does not switch ON. Maximum possible
personal protection is assured. Consult a qualified
electrician.

5 SAFETY RULES:
Before starting work:
• Disconnect mains!
• Prevent reconnection!
• Test for absence of harmful
voltages!
• Ground and short circuit!
• Cover or close of nearby live parts!
