*Setting Button: The setting button is concealed internally and can be accessed using a paperclip. A short press of
the button will cause the operation light to flash a certain number of times, indicating the current working mode.
A long press will toggle between the four working modes.
Flash once: Interference-resistant mode,suitable for scenarios with strong interference, large machine tools, and
high harmonics pollution (lower sensitivity).
Flash twice: Strict mode,suitable for general factories, centralized lighting, large offices, and places with complex
power conditions.
Flash three times: Normal mode,suitable for residential homes, office buildings, dormitories, and other places with
good power environments.
Flash 4 times: Sensitive mode,suitable for scenarios with long line attenuation and no interference in the power
grid.
General
AFDD (Arc Fault Detection Devices)is a new type of electrical fire protection device,
which can avoid the fire caused by short circuit, wire aging, heavy load, poor contact,
electrical product failure and so on. AFDD built-in computer chip, real-time automatic
control. Its working principle is to process, compare and identify the detected arc pulse
through the electronic circuit and MCU. Once the fault arc pulse that is prone to fire
is detected, a signal is output to drive the tripping device and cut off the load power
supply to prevent fire.Generally it is used in residential buildings, as the end of the
protection of electrical appliances, AFDD application range is very wide, in principle as
long as there is electricity, it can use AFDD to prevent electrical fire, such as residential
buildings, office buildings, hospitals, shopping malls, supermarkets, factories, vehicles
(cars, trains, ships, planes), etc.,especially for the residential for electrical fire preven
tion.

The arc fault protection function of AFDD mainly includes the arc fault protection detection unit, the unit detects and identifies fault arcs in the line and sendstripping signals, tripping release takes off the operation mechanism of the product and makes the main contact of AFDD-63from closed position to open position, thus disconnecting the fault line and effectively avoiding the fire caused by the arc fault.The time limit for tripping of AFDD-63 with rated voltage 230V are shown in Table 3 and Table 4.

Installation and Usage (Maintenance)
a. Before installation, check if the product markings match the intended conditions of use.
b. Before installation, operate the AFDD arc fault protection device to ensure that its mechanism moves smoothly, reliably, and without any
jamming.
c. Connect the input terminal to the power supply and the output terminal to the load.
d. After power is applied, press the test button on the AFDD arc fault protection device several times to confirm its reliable operation.
e. When the handle moves upwards, the MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) side handle displays "0N," and the indicator window changes from
green to red, indicating that the circuit is in the ON state. When the handle moves downwards and the MCB side handle displays "OFF,"
the indicator window changes from red to green, indicating that the circuit is in the OFF state.
f.
During installation, securely fix the AFDD arc fault protection device onto the installation rail to prevent loosening or falling. To remove
the AFDD arc fault protection device, simply pull the stopper.
g. The working reference temperature for the AFDD arc fault protection device is +30+5 ℃ . When the ambient temperature changes, the
rated values should be adjusted accordingly. If multiple AFDD arc fault protection devices are installed in an enclosed enclosure, the
internal temperature of the enclosure will rise, and the rated current should be multiplied by a derating factor of 0.8.
