Measure the voltage, say 220 +/- 25VAC. Obviously if it
reads 0V then mains is off, but the circuit has a separate
detector for that. I'm sure the safest way to do this would
be through a transformer, and a very small one is all that
is needed, big enough only to drive a light resistive load

Waiting to hear back from Block about my concerns with
the RS part. I have a feeling they might not admit any error
or liability if the transformers have been mis-labelled or mis-
wound. Which would be unfortunate and frustrating. I've
told them I don't care about that, I just want the correct
component
