USE OF EARTH LEAKAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER AS AN ELECTRICAL
SAFETY DEVICE
The equipment described in this Instruction Manual operates from a mains voltage
electrical supply. The equipment is designed and manufactured in accordance with
appropriate regulations relating to the use of electricity. Similarly, it is assumed that
regulations applying to the operation of electrical equipment are observed by the end
user.
However, to give increased operator protection, Armfield Ltd have incorporated an
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB, alternatively called a Residual Current Circuit
Breaker or RCCB) as an integral part of this equipment. If through misuse or accident
the equipment becomes electrically dangerous, an ELCB will switch off the electrical
supply and reduce the severity of any electric shock received by an operator to a level
which, under normal circumstances, will not cause injury to that person.
At least once each month, check that the ELCB is operating correctly by pressing the
TEST button. The circuit breaker MUST trip when the button is pressed. Failure to
trip means that the operator is not protected and the equipment must be checked and
repaired by a competent electrician before it is used.
