for installation · This product is Class I and must be earthed · This product is IP66 rated
·
INST· ALLATION ·
Note: t·he unit should be fixed to a rigid flat surface as unevenness could cause damage to ·
the pro·duct or affect operation · Provide power to the required point of installation (refer to BS7671 for correct cabling
methods) · Rem·ove the front assembly from the backbox with an aid of a screwdriver and turn to
·
the unlocked padlock symbol on the casing and carefully lift off the gasket. Drill the requ·ired number of fixing holes in the backbox (see Fig. 1) · Using the backbox as a template, mark the location for, and drill the fixing holes ensuring not to infringe with any gas/water pipes or electrical cables

· The backbox has drain hole drilling guides marked (see Fig. 2). Drilling a drain hole is
·
advised if the unit is installed in a location subject to temperature fluctuations where
build-up of condensation may occur. It is not advised if the unit will be subject to high
pressure jets, as drilling a drain hole will reduce the IP rating. A 3-5mm hole should be
drilled at the bottom back edge of the enclosure where marked. If wiring in conduit to the
bottom entry, then the drain hole should be drilled at the lowest point of the conduit run
not in the backbox

· Remove one or more of the pre-fitted blank plugs as required by pushing out from the
inside and install a suitable IP rated gland or adaptor (not supplied). For rear entry, cut or
·
drill a 20/25mm hole where marked and install a suitable IP rated grommet (not
supplied). Unused cable entries must have the blank plugs fitted
· Feed the mains cable into the unit and secure the base plate to the surface. The fixing
·
holes are slotted to allow some rotational adjustment
· Replace the gasket onto the backbox, then wire as shown in Fig. 3 for OP7N/OP9N/OP94 ·

RCD TEST PROCEDURE
Press the green RESET button to switch on the supply. The red indicator should appear. To test that the RCD is operating correctly, press the yellow TEST button. The red indicator should turn green, this will disconnect the load. To restore power, press the green RESET button. The red indicator should reappear. If the RCD should trip due to a fault, the RESET button can be pressed after the fault is rectified. If the RCD will not reset, remove any connected loads and check for faults, water ingress or damage. Following a power cut the RCD will automatically reset itself and does not need manually resetting. Care should be taken to avoid connected loads powering up without warning. The TEST button should be pressed at regular intervals to check the RCD is functioning correctly. We recommend testing every 6 months. If the red indicator does not turn green when the TEST button is pressed, do not use.
