Operation

⚠ WARNING! Risk of electric shock!

• Disconnect the circuit before replacing a defective overcurrent protection.
• Do not come into contact with live parts.
• Never touch bare conductors, open cables or live parts with bare hands or skin.

- Switching the product on/off and performing a functionality test

(Fig. D, E)

i INFO: If the ⏻ button 4 is not pressed, the receiver 6 switches off after approx. 3 minutes.

1. Move the receiver 6 at least 1 m away:
2. from the transmitter 9;

3. from the circuit to which the transmitter is connected.

4. Insert the mains plug 7 into the mains socket of the circuit where the overcurrent protection is located (Fig. D). The ON LED 8 lights up.

5. Switching on the receiver 6: Press the ⏻ button 4. The receiver searches for the signal of the transmitter 9. The receiver emits the following signals:

Receiver 6	Function
Scan LED 2 Lights red
LED indicator light 3	Lights green for1 second and goes out
POWER LED 5 Lights up
Buzzer Sounds at regular	intervals

1. Bring the probe 1 of the receiver 6 close to the transmitter 9 (Fig. E).

When the receiver is working and the socket is live, the receiver emits the following signals:

Receiver 6	Function
Scan LED 2	Goes out
LED indicator light 3	Lights green
Buzzer Sounds continuously

1. Switching off the receiver 6: Press and hold the ⏻ button 4 for approx. 2 seconds. The buzzer of the receiver sounds 3 times.
2. Remove the mains plug 7 from the mains socket.

- Searching the overcurrent protection

Resetting the receiver

i INFO:

☐ Reset the receiver 6:

– before searching the overcurrent protection
– after a failed search
– after replacing the mains socket

☐ Resetting helps to detect the signal with the highest intensity.

1. Move the receiver 6 at least 1 m away:

– from the transmitter 9;
– from the circuit to which the transmitter is connected.

1. Press the ⏻ button 4.

The receiver emits the following signals:

Receiver 6	Function
Scan LED 2 Lights red
LED indicator light 3 Goes out
POWER LED 5 Lights up
Buzzer 2 consecutive acoustic signal tones

Identifying the position of the overcurrent protection

(Fig. G)

i INFO:

☐ The detection or assignment of an overcurrent protection largely depends on the routing of the wires.

☐ Remove the cover of the fuse box to get the most accurate result.
☐ If you do not have specialist knowledge, do not remove the cover of the fuse box yourself, but commission qualified personnel (e.g. an electrician) to do so.
☐ If the power supply is interrupted due to a defective overcurrent protection, the product cannot be used.

1. Insert the mains plug 7 into the mains socket of the circuit where the overcurrent protection is located. The ON LED 8 lights up.
2. Switch on the receiver 6 (see “Switching the product on/off and performing a functionality test”).
3. Move the receiver 6 close to the overcurrent protection. Hold the probe 1 vertically against the overcurrent protection.
4. Turn the receiver 6 so that the bottom side points in the direction of the transmitter 9. The tip of the probe 1 points to the upper part of the overcurrent protection under test.
5. Slowly guide the tip of the probe 1 along the overcurrent protection. During the first scan, the scan LED 2 and the LED indicator light 3 may be on or off. The buzzer sounds long or intermittently. Test results are not represented at this time.

Checking the position of the overcurrent protection

1. Repeat step 3 (see “Identifying the position of the overcurrent protection”).

Once the receiver 6 detects a strong signal from the overcurrent protection, the receiver emits the following signals:

Receiver 6	Function
Scan LED 2	Goes out
LED indicator light 3	Lights green
Buzzer Sounds continuously

1. Switch off the corresponding overcurrent protection.

Checking the correctness of the overcurrent protection

1. Use the ON LED 8 to check whether the correct overcurrent protection has been selected:

ON LED 8	Overcurrent protection
Switched on * Incorrect	*
Switched off Correct
* Perform the above steps again (see “Searching the overcurrent protection”).

1. Switch off the receiver 6 (see “Switching the product on/off and performing a functionality test”).

Work hints

⚠ WARNING! Risk of electric shock!

• Do not touch bare conductors with your hand or skin to avoid electric shock and injury.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage to the product.
  ☐ Malfunctions or false alarms may occur. Always additionally check visually whether the overcurrent protection actually looks defective.
  ☐ Keep cell phones and other noise sources away from the product during use.
  ☐ In overcurrent protection products from different manufacturers the solenoid coils may be located in different positions. If no clear signal is found with the receiver 6: Turn the receiver by 90° to the left or right.
  ☐ In certain cases, 2 adjacent overcurrent protection products can cause the receiver 6 to display a signal. The reason for this is the routing of the wires. Perform the search for the overcurrent protection again (see “Searching the overcurrent protection”).
