AMPFIBIAN MAX Heavy-Duty Weatherproof 15A to 10A Power Adaptor with RCD and MCB

Product Overview

The AMPFIBIAN MAX is a robust, weatherproof power adaptor designed to convert 15A power down to 10A while incorporating safety features such as a Residual Current Device (RCD) and a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB). This device is suitable for use in harsh environments and is ideal for trade and commercial applications.

Key Features

• Weatherproof Rating: IP55, ensuring protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction.
• Impact Rating: IK08, capable of withstanding impacts up to 5.0 Joules.
• Electrical Rating: 240 Volts, 10 Amperes maximum current.
• Cord Compatibility: Suitable for ordinary and heavy-duty extension leads from 7mm to 12mm diameter.
• Safety Devices:
  • RCD (Residual Current Device): Cuts power immediately if a difference between incoming and outgoing voltage is detected, protecting against electrocution.
  • MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker): Protects circuits by cutting power in case of overload, preventing overheating and potential fires.

Operating Instructions

1. Initial Setup:
   • Connect the AMPFIBIAN MAX plug directly into a power supply socket and switch the power supply ON.
   • Ensure the device is switched ON; if it trips immediately, unplug and contact customer service.
2. Testing the Device:
   • Press the test button marked "T". If the RCD switch trips OFF, proceed to the next step. If not, unplug and do not use the device.
3. Connecting Equipment:
   • Attach an extension cord to the MAX socket, ensuring it is secured by the plug lid and cleat.
   • Connect the equipment to the extension cord or directly to the MAX.
   • Ensure both lids are securely latched and inspect seals for any damage or obstructions before use.

Troubleshooting

• Device Trips During Use:
  • Perform the test procedure to determine if the MAX is at fault.
  • If the device trips due to overload, reduce the load by unplugging some appliances and reset the MAX.
  • For earth leakage faults, turn off all power and consult a licensed electrician.
