Here are some steps to follow should your safety switch trip out for any reason:
- Isolate / turn off all power points and light switches, and unplug all appliances.

- If the safety switch cannot be reset, contact Multi Power Electrical as a fault exists in the wiring or the safety switch itself.
- Turn on the power points one at a time or until the safety switch trips. If it activates you should contact us to fix the fault.
- If the safety switch dose not activate after carrying out step 4, plug your appliances back in the power points one at a time or until the safety switch activates. When it activates you have determined the cause of the fault. Take the faulty appliance to a qualified service centre for repairs.
