In recognition of its innovation and design
excellence, the PDL 500 Series won the NZ
Designmark Award and was a finalist for the
Prince Philip Award.
The low-gloss finish of the 500 Series is both
attractive and practical and will blend in
superbly with any decor.

If a plug is partially pulled
out of a 500 Series power
socket, the plug pins only
remain live while there is
a gap of 5mm between

the plug - not enough
room for small fingers to
touch the live pins.
For additional safety, the
socket pin holes are fitted
with safety shutters.
Fixing screws and screw
caps are now fitted to an
easy-to-remove clip,
attached to the back of
the plate.
Fumbling with screw

SAFETY SWITCHES & SOCKETS (RCDs)
Each PDL RCD has a 300V MOV internally fitted across the
input conductors. This primarily provides power surge
protection to the RCD’s electronic components. However,
it also provides surge protection to appliances connected
to the RCD.
The maximum energy that can be absorbed is 40 joules.

SOCKETS
If a plug is partially pulled out of a PDL 500 Series power
socket, the plug pins only remain live while there is a gap of
5mm between the socket face plate and the plug - not enough
room for small fingers to touch the live pins.
For additional safety, the socket pin holes are fitted with
safety shutters.
Switched sockets comply with the following Standards:
