1. Choose and install a suitable enclosure from the Range of MK
Sentry Consumer Units.
2. Mount the RCBO(s) on to the DIN rail in the enclosure with the
L (Supply) terminal at the bottom (shown in Figure 1).
3. It is important that the RCBO is supplied via a Double Pole
Isolator (Switch Disconnector).
4. Strip the Supply Neutral Cable and the Load Cables to expose
11mm of conductor.
5. Connect the Supply Line to the Line (Supply) Terminal at the
bottom, using the busbar supplied with the Consumer Unit.
Alternatively, a suitable cable can be used, which should be
stripped to expose 12mm of conductor for connection.
6. Connect the Neutral (Blue) flying lead of the RCBO to the
Supply Neutral Terminal Bar.
7. Connect the Earth (Cream) flying lead of the RCBO to the
Supply Earth Terminal Bar.
8. Connect the Load, Line and Neutral connections to the
outgoing terminals at the top of the RCBO, marked L (OUT)
and N (OUT), respectively.
9. Connect the Load Earth conductor to the Earth Terminal Bar.

1. Insulation resistance tests
NOTE: Disconnect the L Load, N Load and Earth before
conducting Insulation resistance testing to avoid
damage to the RCBO unit.
2. After the installation is complete, turn on the supply to the
RCBO and check that the supply voltage to the product is
present at its L (Supply) and N (Supply) connection.
3. Switch on the RCBO by moving its switch dolly upwards to
show ‘ON’ position. Press the Test Button on the device, the
device should trip.
IMPORTANT:
Upon completion, ensure that all terminal screws
are tightened to the correct torque values (Load, Line and Neutral
Terminal - 1.2 to 1.5 Nm, Supply Line Terminal - 2.0 to 2.5Nm).
10. Test the RCBO as detailed in Section H of this leaflet.

If the black portion of the switch is in the ‘OFF’
position, this is an indication that a fault has caused
the RCBO to trip.
Consult the Fault Identification Chart (Figure 2) to
establish the cause.
Any repairs to appliances or alterations to the
installation, to correct the fault, should be carried
out by a competent person.
