BRITISH GENERAL CFUGA2IL-D Dual RCD Consumer Unit Instruction Manual

BRITISH GENERAL CFUGA2IL-D Dual RCD Consumer Unit

Safety Warning

For your safety, this product must be installed in accordance with local Building Regulations. This product MUST be installed by a competent person who is registered with an electrical self-certification scheme. Further information is available online or from your Local Authority. Please read carefully and use in accordance with these safety wiring instructions. Before commencing any electrical work ensure the supply is disconnected, and securely locked off. Wiring should be in accordance with the latest edition of the IET Regulations (BS 7671).

Note:   Most illustrations relate to a typical Dual RCD unit, exact configuration will depend on the type, size, and material of the consumer unit purchased. Ensure all screws are fully tightened before use. (Please refer to torque settings table)

Instructions

1. Remove the front cover by opening the visor and turning screws anti-clockwise, until retained screws dis-engage.

2. Provide cable access via 20 or 32mm knockouts insides, top, and bottom, or access via cutouts in base. Push in cable protector provided, Only remove minimum required. Ensure IP rating is maintained, e.g. use of glands.

3. Note: Use a punch to remove metal knockouts. Remove any sharp edges, affix protective trim supplied to prevent damage to cables being pulled through. – 32mm knockouts on the left and right-hand sides can be opened up to accept 40mm gland.

4. Optional removal of DIN rail is possible, disconnect neutral cables from terminal bars or devices, loosen screws on either end of DIN rail, slide DIN rail sideways and lift out.

5. Secure to the wall, use the keyhole slots to hang in position, use the integral spirit level to ensure the unit is level, secure with the remaining fixing holes. For uneven walls use 3-point fixing. Use appropriate wall fixings suitable for the mounting surface when installing this unit.

6. Refit DIN rail if previously removed and re-connect neutral cables, locate and prepare main incoming cables.

7. Fit devices, ensure the main switch is aligned with the notches on the right-hand side of the DIN rail. Place required devices onto the DIN rail, attach the top of the device onto the rail first and then push down the bottom of the device, the retaining clip will snap onto the rail. Devices can be removed by pulling out the bottom clip device (use a flat bladed screwdriver) and remove by lifting the bottom part of the device first.

8. Configure by cutting the supplied busbar to the desired length, depending on a number of ways protected by RCD1 or RCD2 if Dual, or/and unprotected. Ensure one finger for incomer plus the number of ways required, plus any spare ways which may need to be added later

9. Length equal to number of ways unprotected plus one finger for incomer

10.  Length equal to a number of ways protected by each RCD plus one finger for RCD.

11. Fit busbars, and fit additional cable kits if required, e.g. for Split Load or Dual RCD.

12. Note: Please ensure the live cables to RCD1/RCD2 are fitted under the busbar in the main switch live terminal.

13. Locate, prepare and connect all incoming cables as required, and suggest cable strip length of 14mm.
    Important Ensure connections are secure and terminal screws fully tightened. Recommended max torque for Terminal screws, MCBs and RCBOs is 2Nm, Switch is 3.5Nm, RCD is 2.5Nm. (Please refer to torque settings table)

14. Test in accordance with the current IET wiring regulations

15. Ensure the busbar shield and busbar are refitted

16. Refit the front cover, by opening the visor and turning screws clockwise until cover is secured in position.

17. Apply labels – open the hinged visor and apply warning and circuit identification labels as shown.

18. Note: Fill any unused ways with cover blanks provided.
