ln this range of Single Module Width RCBO’s, each
product provides dual protection; from Over-current via
its MCB section, and from Earth Leaking Fault Current
(Residual Current) via its RCD section.
These devices provide RCD protection in full
compliance with the requirements of the Standard
BS EN 61009-1. They also provide very effective RCD
protection in the Supply Voltage Range of 110 V to
253V a.c., meeting the requirements of the Standard
for sensitivity and trip speed at
IΔ
n
and 2IΔ
n
.
They meet the requirement of the current edition of the
UK Wiring Regulations (BS 7671), as regards ability to
trip with Earth Loop Impedance of up to 1667 Ω (for a
30mA RCD), by being able to operate with Earth Loop
Impedance of up to 10,000 Ω.

5. Choose an RCBO from TABLE 1,
with the correct ratings, for the
circuit to be protected.
6. The RCBO’s in this range must
not be used in ambient
temperatures outside their
specified range.
E. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
8
1. The RCBO shall be installed at the source of the circuit
in which the Earth Fault and Over-current protection is
required.
2. The RCBO’s may be installed alongside other SENTRY
®
Modular Products, as part of a larger assembly.
3. The RCBO is a sensitive device designed for fixed
installation in a clean and dry environment. The device
must not be installed as part of a portable system which
may be subject to mechanical shocks and vibration.
4. An adhesive label giving test instructions is provided
with each RCBO. This label shall be placed in a
prominent position close to the RCBO (preferably on the
Consumer Unit Cover).
5. Upon completion of the installation, please leave this
instruction leaflet in close proximity to the RCBO, for
future reference.
