Defender RCD Safety Plug – Key FAQs

• Do I need to wire anything to install this RCD?
  No, it simply plugs into a standard 13A socket and your tool then plugs into the adapter.

• How does this help keep me safe?
  It constantly monitors the current flow and cuts power very quickly if an imbalance is detected, helping to reduce the risk of serious electric shock.

• Can I use it outdoors?
  Yes, as long as it is kept dry and used with suitable outdoor-rated tools and extension leads. The socket and plug must not be exposed to rain or standing water.

• Is it suitable for permanent pond or garden pump installations?
  It is not recommended as the sole protection for pond pumps and similar fixed installations. Those should be protected by an RCD in the main consumer unit or a suitable outdoor RCD spur.

  Yes, press the TEST button before first use and then at regular intervals. It should trip immediately; press RESET to restore power.
