Weathersafe Extreme Products with
RCD’s (WXT104, WXT204, WXT205)
Always test the RCD before use.
To test: Ensure supply is connected
RESET – press the grey (blue for WXT205) button
marked Reset (R), the status indicator should show red.
TEST – press the red button marked Test (T),
status indicator should show black. This indicates
that the RCD has been tripped and power has been
disconnected from the outlet.
RESET – press the grey (blue for WXT205) button
marked Reset (R) again, the status indicator
should show red.
If all the above operations work satisfactorily, the RCD
is safe for use.
If the procedure is not completed satisfactorily do not
use the RCD and seek professional advice.
In applications such as hand driers it may not be
practical to expect each user to test before use. In this
case we suggest an appropriate person applies the test
routine twice a day.
