Operating Instructions

• In normal use all toggles should be in the upward position indicated by I or ON.

• To isolate the supply to all the circuits, switch the RED toggle on the main isolating switch (if it is a split load board), or the BLUE toggle on the main RCD to the OFF position if this is used as the Main switch.

• On a split load unit the circuits controlled by the RCD or individual RCBO, can be isolated separately by switching the BLUE toggle to OFF.
  caution: The circuits not controlled by the RCD will still be live.

• To isolate the individual circuits, switch OFF the MCB or RCBO controlling that particular circuit.
  Caution: This only isolates one circuit the remainder of the circuits are still live.

• The RCD which controls several circuits needs to be tested periodically (approx every 3 months) to ensure safe operation.

• The test is performed by pushing the test button marked T. If the RCD trips reset as normal. If it fails to trip seek qualified advice as the unit may require attention.
  caution: When the RCD trips all circuits connected to it will switch off. If you have any sensitive equipments ie. Computers or electronics. Please disconnect them prior the test.
  The same test should be repeated if rcbos are used to protect any circuits.

• Should any MCB trip, reset the MCB by pushing toggle upwards. Should it trip again, the circuit may require attention. Leave the MCB in the OFF position and seek qualified advice.

• If the RCD should trip, reset the switch. If it will not reset, switch OFF all the MCBs connected to the RCD and try to switch RCD back ON.
  If the RCD remains ON, switch MCBs back on one at a time. If the RCD trips during this procedure the particular circuit controlled by the MCB may require attention. Leave the suspect circuit switched OFF and reset the RCD, then seek qualified advice.

NOTE:

1. Lock available Users with locks can knock outs this position to install the lock.
2. .Standard installation buckle, please remove it promptly after installation.

Waning
All connections, including factory-made, must be checked for the correct installation tightness, prior to the commissioning of the electrical installation. Electricity is dangerous if in any doubt please seek qualified advice

Unit Characteristics

Safety Instructions

• This unit must be installed and tested in accordance with the requirements of all relevant legislation, regulations and accepted practice.

• After completion of the installation draw users attention to the instructions contained inside this booklet and leave with user.

• The total load supplied by this unit must not exceed the rating of the main switch or RCD.

• The total load of the MCBs may exceed this value where appropriate diversity is applied.

• This unit is suitable for indoor use only and is rated at IP40.

• The unit and all its components have been type tested to the following specifications:

• The MCBs fitted to this unit are calibrated at 30°C in accord with temperature calibration requirements of EN60898. Main Switch BS EN 60947-3 At other temperatures the following rating factors should be used.
  60°C o.as 20°c 1.0 ere 1.15

• Adjacent Thermal Magnetic MCBs should not be continuously loaded or approach their nominal rated currents when mounted in Enclosures. It is recommended that a 60% diversity factor be applied to the MCBs nominal rated current where it is intended to load the MCB continuously.

Installation

Enclosure Mounting
