RCMB300 series
Part of the device documentation in addition to this quick-start guide is the enclosed "Safety
i
instructions for Bender products" and the operating manual. This quick-start guide applies to the
following devices:
Type Supply voltage Response value/variant Order number
RCMB301 DC 24 V (19.2…28.8 V ) 30 mA…3 A/Modbus RTU B74043100
Intended use
The residual current monitoring modules of the RCMB300 series are intended for measuring AC
and DC fault currents in earthed systems (TN and TT systems). The modules are able to measure
residual currents up to I
= 20 A in a frequency range of DC…100 kHz.
Δ
Any other use than that described in this document is regarded as improper. This quick-start
guide does not replace the operating manual of the device. Download: www.bender.de/manuals
Safety instruction
DANGER of electrocution due to electric shock!
Touching live parts of the system carries the risk of:
I
- An electric shock
- Damage to the electrical installation
- Destruction of the device
Before installing and connecting the device, make sure that the installation has been de-energised. Observe the rules for working on electrical installations.

Assembly
A complete residual current monitoring module consists of the RCMB30… evaluation electronics
and a CTBC20(P)…210(P) series measuring current transformer core. If ordered separately, these
two components must be plugged together and calibrated during commissioning.
Step 1: Place the electronic module on the mark on the
measuring current transformer.
Step 2: Fold the electronic module down onto the
2
3
measuring current transformer.
Step 3: Slide the electronic module onto the plug
1
contacts of the measuring current transformer.
