The plug and flexible lead on the controller box and submersible pump do not have appropriate insulation or a Safety Approval marking to indicate compliance with the relevant safety standard.
The Australian accessory kit features a 2 pin European plug that is not compatible with Australian outlet configuration. In addition, the charger does not have a certificate of conformity.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The switch contact mechanism may overheat due to an internal fault; this could result in damage of the switch mechanism, internal arcing and potential damage to the enclosure and cables which could allow access to live parts.
The plug pin is not insulated as required by Australian Standards AS 3122:2005.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
Due to poor workmanship internal contact may occur between live parts and earth.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosures do not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
If the device is overloaded, the overcurrent protection device may fail to operate and the product may fail the ignitability test.
In certain instances there may be non-compliance in terms of ignitability, lateral strain and withdrawal force.
The travel adaptor does not bear a regulatory compliance mark (RCM) or feature insulated pins as required by Australian Standards AS 3122:2005.
The travel adaptors do not meet the safety criteria for the electrical safety standard AS/NZS 3820 and as a result a consumer may be exposed to live parts.
High temperature can occur at the internal switch plate, causing the contacts to spread and the polymer support plate to degrade.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
Some power plugs do not comply with the latest Australian Standards that requires insulation installed on the two power prongs.
The electrical contacts of the sockets are poorly aligned and the plastic enclosure does not meet the flammability requirements of the applicable standard.
Product does not comply with Australian and New Zealand electrical safety requirements concerning resistance to fire and a secure connection to inserted plugs.
The travel adaptors do not meet the safety criteria for the electrical safety standard AS/NZS 3820. As a result a consumer may be exposed to live parts.
Fluke has determined that in some cases the housing fastening points of the BC1735/EELV Power Adapters may be loose, which may lead to separation of the housing.
The RCD (also known as earth leakage protection) may not operate correctly as there is no neutral link fitted.
The products internal contacts may have a fault, where a high resistance connection may form.
The product features an internal fault, where a high-resistance connection may form.
The 12 volt battery charger outlet does not meet Australian standards and could be mistaken for a 240 volt outlet. In addition, the battery charger lead supplied with the unit has a plug that could be mistaken for a 240 volt plug and inserted into a 240 volt outlet.
The product features an internal fault, where a high resistant connection may form.
Terminal colour identification has been reversed on some product.
The switch may still be ‘ON’ even when the handle is indicating ‘OFF’.
Incorrect overload rating of supplied circuit breaker / RCBO allowing potential to draw more current than the fly lead rating.
The plugs can be interchanged with the sockets. This means the 12 volt and the 240 volt are similar and confusion may result.
Manufactured with a Multiple Earth Neutral (MEN) link between the neutral & earth without a Residual Current Device (RCD), which is non-compliant with safety clause 6 of AS2790 Electricity generating sets.
Manufactured with a Multiple Earth Neutral (MEN) link between the neutral & earth without a residual Current Device (RCD), which is non-compliant with safety clause 6 of AS2790 Electricity generating sets. In addition, the Circuit Breaker Switch for Equipment (CBE) is single pole, which is non-compliant with safety clause 6.1.4.
Due to poor workmanship, a short circuit can occur in the powerboard, possibly causing fire or electric shock.
The internal connection to the earth pin prong is deformed in some products of the affected batch; making them susceptible to not providing an earth connection.
The internal connection to the earth pin prong is deformed in some products of the affected batch, making them susceptible to not providing an earth connection.
Safety test reports are not available for this specific adaptor with multiple plugs. Therefore, this product is not compliant with the appropriate Australian Safety Standard.
The products do not comply with electrical safety standards.
When the screw is tightened in the screw connector, the connector housing may crack. In addition, if the cable is not properly secured in the housing this may cause a “hot spot” to develop and may pose a fire hazard.
The rechargeable battery may overheat while charging.
When force is applied to the plug-in power adaptor, or when the adaptor is removed/attempted to be removed from the power socket, surface cracks or breaks may appear on the base of the power adaptor, or the plug face plate may separate from the adaptor. This has the potential to expose live electrical wires.
The powerboards do not meet mandatory Australian electrical safety requirements. Specifically, the socket outlets are non-compliant and there is no overcurrent protection provided.
The power adaptor may pull apart when the customer removes it from a socket outlet, exposing live wires.
The on/off switch may overheat while the product is in use.
The power supply has been designed for indoor use only and does not have electrical safety approval for outdoor use with these machines.
