For guidance when making connections in a consumer unit electrical
safety rst /BEAMA document “Guidance for installers when making

Removal of front
cover:
Easy t front cover assembly allows the cover to be located at the
top of the board and locked Into place that enables the cover to stay
secure when replacing or removing during an installation. The units have multiple xing points that will suit No.8 & No.10 screws
Important notice:
To prevent potential overheating from loose connections the installer
shall check connections are tight to the torque levels stated in these
instructions prior to energizing this board. This check should include
factory made connections which may have loosened in transit.
Good workmanship and proper materials must be applied by the installer.
The cable entry method shall, as far as reasonably practical, maintain the
non-combustable arrangement of the enclosure. Account shall be taken of
these instructions.
Wall Fixing:
Cable entry facilities:
Where Electrical Knockouts are provided for top or bottom cable entry
are sized and positioned to suit standard trunking i.e 100x50mm,
50x50mm & 40x25mm, grommet strip is provide to protect the cables
when entering the board.
Note: Only BASEC approved cable should be used

1.0mm
to 16mm2 for outgoing cables

Rear cable entries shall enter thorough selected rear Knockout; once
the Knockout is removed the cable protector bracket can be tted
to allow safe installation of the cables. Grommet strip lengths: Small
EKO – 79mm, Large EKO – 127mm Rear EKO – 255mm
Up to 35.0mm2 for incoming live cables
Single conductors below 1.5mm² need to be doubled back in the
terminal bar.

Rear cable entries shall enter thorough selected rear knockout; once
Incoming meter tails can be safely secured using the cable clamp
system eliminating stress within the switch terminal.
Guidance Notes:
The total load must not exceed the rating of the incoming device or the assigned assembly rating (InA) whichever is the lower. Each neutral and earth
connection must correspond numerically to its outgoing way. Additional blanks (ref. JK01B) are available to cover spare ways.
A pack is provided to label this consumer unit, please consult us for spares or replacements.
Operating Instruction leaet is provided overleaf. This leaet should be left for the end user.
Single conductors below 1.5mm² need to be doubled back in the terminal bar.
Consumer Units incorporating RCDs in TT systems should incorporate an S type (time Delayed) RCCB, e.g. 100 mA s-type RCCB . Alternatively a main
switch with RCBO protection on all outgoing circuits should be used.
Precautions need to be taken to prevent faults to earth on the supply side of the RCD (as per BS7671 regulation 531.4.1)
Cable Access:
Cable access into the metal consumer unit must maintain the integrity of the non-combustable consumer unit so far as reasonably practicable. This can
generally be achieved by the installer ensuring that cable access holes they make in the enclosure do not to leave gaps greater than:
· 1.0 mm for the horizontal top surface and
· 2.5 mm for all other surfaces of the enclosure that are accessible after installation.
For rear cable access, the minimum number of knockout(s) shall be removed and a cable protector tted; see illustration above.
Tests on hager consumer units have indicated that there is no specic need for external re rated cable glands or intumescent sealing in addition to the
guidance below, with respect to achieving a non-combustible enclosure. However this does not preclude the designer/installer from using re rated cable
glands or external intumescent sealing should they consider necessary. Internal intumescent pads shall not be used.
the knockout is removed the cable protector frame can be tted in
order to avoid any damage to the cable insulation or sheath during
installation.
