- Connect the incoming neutral wire to the 'N IN' terminal.
- Connect the incoming live wire to the 'L IN' terminal.
- Connect the outgoing neutral wire to the 'N OUT' terminal.
- Connect the outgoing live wire to the 'L OUT' terminal.
- Double-check all connections for polarity and tightness.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Power On/Off
- After successful installation, apply power to the input terminals. The device will perform a self-test and display current voltage and current readings.
- Use the red ON/OFF button to manually switch the output power.
6.2. Parameter Settings
To enter the parameter setting mode, press and hold the 'SET' button for approximately 3-5 seconds until the display changes to 'P01'. Use the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons to navigate through the parameters (P01-P14) and adjust their values. Press 'SET' again to confirm a value and move to the next parameter, or to exit the setting mode after the last parameter.

- Restore Factory Settings: To reset all parameters to their default values, press and hold the 'DOWN' button for more than 12 seconds. Use this function with caution as it will erase all custom settings.
7. Protection Functions
7.1. Over-Voltage Protection
When the detected voltage exceeds the set over-voltage protection value (P01), the device will instantly cut off the power supply to protect connected equipment. The '>V' indicator will illuminate. After the voltage returns to the normal range (P02) and the recovery delay time (P04) elapses, the device will automatically restore power.
Video 3: This video demonstrates the over-voltage protection feature, showing the device cutting power when voltage exceeds the set limit and automatically restoring it after recovery.
7.2. Under-Voltage Protection
If the voltage drops below the configured under-voltage protection value (P05), the device will disconnect the power output. The '<V' indicator will illuminate. Power will be restored automatically once the voltage stabilizes within the safe operating range (P06) and the recovery delay (P08) is complete.
Video 4: This video illustrates the under-voltage protection, demonstrating how the device cuts power when voltage drops too low and automatically restarts once voltage is stable.
7.3. Over-Current Protection
Should the current drawn by connected equipment exceed the set over-current adjustment range (P09), the protector will immediately cut off the power. The '>A' indicator will illuminate. Power will be restored after the over-current condition is resolved and the recovery delay (P11) has passed.
Video 5: This video showcases the over-current protection, demonstrating the device's response to excessive current draw and its automatic recovery feature.
7.4. Automatic Recovery and Delayed Start
The device features an automatic recovery function, which restores power once voltage and current conditions return to normal after a fault. Additionally, a configurable power-on delay (P12) prevents immediate power restoration, protecting sensitive equipment from sudden surges or rapid on/off cycles.
Video 6: This video highlights the automatic reset function and delayed start, showing how the device intelligently manages power restoration to prevent instant impact on connected loads.

9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No input power; incorrect wiring. | Check power supply; verify wiring connections. |
| Output power is off, '>V' indicator is on. | Over-voltage condition detected. | Check input voltage; device will auto-recover when voltage normal. |
| Output power is off, '<V' indicator is on. | Under-voltage condition detected. | Check input voltage; device will auto-recover when voltage normal. |
| Output power is off, '>A' indicator is on. | Over-current condition detected. | Reduce load or check for short circuits; device will auto-recover when current normal. |
| Cannot change settings. | Not in setting mode; buttons not pressed correctly. | Press and hold 'SET' button for 3-5 seconds to enter setting mode. |
| Device frequently trips. | Protection parameters set too sensitively; unstable power supply. | Adjust protection thresholds (P01, P05, P09) to appropriate levels; consult an electrician for power supply stability. |
