6. Istruzioni per l'uso

6.1. Socket Wiring Test

Once plugged into a 230V socket, the device's LEDs will illuminate to indicate the wiring status. Refer to the legend on the device for specific interpretations. Common indications include:

• Cablaggio corretto: All LEDs illuminate in a specific pattern (refer to device markings).
• Missing Earth: A specific LED pattern indicates the absence of an earth connection.
• Reversed Phase/Neutral: Another pattern indicates incorrect phase and neutral connections.
• Missing Phase or Neutral: Specific LEDs will not illuminate.

Always consult the detailed legend on the device itself for precise interpretation of the LED patterns for various fault conditions.

6.2. Test RCD (dispositivo di corrente residua)

The RCD test function verifies the proper operation of the residual current device protecting the circuit.

1. Plug the Testavit Schuki 2K into the socket.
2. Rotate the RCD Current Selector Dial (S1) to the desired nominal residual current setting (e.g., 30 mA).
3. Press and hold the red RCD Test Button (T).
4. Observe the RCD (circuit breaker) in your electrical panel. A functional RCD should trip (switch off) within a short period (typically less than 200ms).
5. If the RCD trips, it indicates that the RCD is functioning correctly at the selected current. Reset the RCD at your electrical panel.
6. If the RCD does not trip, it indicates a potential fault with the RCD or the wiring. Do not use the circuit and consult a qualified electrician.
7. After testing, return the RCD Current Selector Dial (S1) to the "OFF" position.
