Description

A range of socket outlets designed for ease of installation and having all the advantageous design features of the MK range of wiring devices. The 2 gang sockets with outboard rockers (available in Logic Plus and Albany Plus) are of particular value for use by the inrm and partially sighted whilst the same feature in Metalclad Plus is ideal for use with gloved hands.

Non-standard clean earth sockets are for use on installations where restricted access is required and will only accept a 647WHI 13A non-standard plug with T-shaped earth pin. The sockets have two independent earth terminals so that they can also be used for ‘clean earth’ installations. The K2746CE and K2947CE also have two independent earth terminals for ‘clean earth’ installations.

A variety of sockets (see Technical Specication) are tted with two earth terminals on a common busbar to provide a double earth facility for use when installations require a high integrity protective connection as specied within the latest edition of BS7671 which should be referred to for guidance.

The products can be quickly installed as replacement for existing 13A sockets or in a new installation.

Fuse carriers

(Logic Plus 3 gang switchsocket only)

The fuse carrier is opened by a fast-acting, screwdriver-operated, worm-drive screw for ease of replacement.

Installation

Flush mounting steel wall box

It should be noted that some of the conduit entries may be restricted, depending upon their positions and the depth of box used.

Active control circuits

Incorporate a ‘Re-set’ mechanism and are mains failure sensitive, i.e. they will function under all the normal conditions expected of an RCD, but will also trip in the event of a power cut or a sudden, dramatic reduction in mains voltage. This makes them ideal for use where it would be hazardous for equipment to suddenly energise after return of mains power, such as use with rotating machinery and heat developing apparatus.

Passive control circuits

Incorporate a ‘Stay-set’ mechanism and is mains failure proof, i.e. it will function under all the normal conditions expected of an RCD and will not trip in the event of a power cut. This makes it suitable for use with freezers or in inaccessible or unmanned locations.

It should be noted that some of the conduit entries may be restricted, depending upon their positions and the depth of box used.

Socket Testing

Single Socket Testing

After installation, turn the mains electricity supply on.

To test that the Sentrysocket is functioning correctly:

1. Ensure that no appliance is connected to the Sentrysocket.

Switch Sentrysocket on: The switch should remain closed

and the red ag will appear in the window. If the switch fails to remain closed, check that the Supply L and N connections are not reversed or the Supply N connection is not open circuit. If the Sentrysocket is correctly connected and still trips after being switched on, the Sentrysocket is faulty and should not be used.

2. If the Sentrysocket stays on, press the test button: The

switch will open and the white ag will appear In the window. If the Sentrysocket does not trip and there is mains voltage present at the socket outlet, Sentrysocket is faulty and should not be used.

3. Switch Sentrysocket on: Connect an RCD tester and ensure

that the Sentrysocket trips within the specied time:

≤ 200 ms AT RATED TRIP CURRENT ≤ 40 ms AT 5 x RATED TRIP CURRENT

If the Sentrysocket does not trip within the specied times then

the product is faulty and should not be used (If more than one RCD is in series then there is no guarantee as to which device will trip rst).

4. Reset all tripped RCD’s including the Sentrysocket.

5. Switch off the mains supply switch disconnector. On mains

failure, a Sentrysocket with Active Control Circuit will trip, whilst a Sentrysocket with Passive Control Circuit will not trip. If the Active Control device does not trip, it is faulty and should not be used – see note below. If no faults have been found then installation testing has been completed successfully.

Double Socket Testing

After installation, turn the mains electricity supply on.

To test that the Sentrysocket is functioning correctly follow the steps 1 to 4 below:

1. Ensure that no appliance is connected to the Sentrysocket.

2. Reset – Press the button marked R (for Reset) – the contact

status indicator should show red, indicating that the socket outlets are now live (if the switches are in the ON positions).

3. Test – Press the TEST button marked T (for Test), the product

should trip with the contact status indicator showing black. In this state the socket outlets are disconnected from the supply.

4. Reset – Press the button marked R again, the contact status

indicator should show red.

5. Connect an RCD Tester to either socket outlet and ensure that

the Sentrysocket trips with the specied times below:

≤ 200 ms AT RATED TRIP CURRENT ≤ 40 ms AT 5 x RATED TRIP CURRENT

6. Reset the Sentrysocket as in step 2 above.

7. Switch off the Mains Supply Switch Disconnector.

8. A Sentrysocket with Active Control Circuit should trip while a

Sentrysocket with Passive Control Circuit should not trip.

If all the operations in steps 2 to 8 above give correct results, the Sentrysocket RCD socket outlet is safe to use.

If the procedures in steps 2 to 8 above are not completed correctly, do not use the Sentrysocket product and seek professional advice or contact the MK Technical Sales and Service department on +44 (0)1268 563720.

Note: If a fault is identied at any stage of installation testing procedure do not use Sentrysocket, and contact your local electrician, or your local MK stockist.

The MK Filtered Switchsocket, in common with many other lters uses Voltage Dependant Resistors for spike suppression purposes. The performance of these devices will eventually degrade with use to a level where they will no longer provide adequate protection.

When this occurs the spike ler performance of the MK Filtered Switchsocket outlet can be restored by replacing the lter cassette.

When the lter cassette needs replacing, the green indicator on the Replacement Filer Cassette will glow red or go out, an audible beep every ve seconds may also be heard.

Note: As with all lters, these Filter Sockets will reduce the magnitude of RFI and spikes and consequently their ability to interfere with connected equipment. They will not completely remove the interference from the supply.

it is important that all connections are made as instructed.

1. The lter cassette can be removed and replaced without switching

off the mains or removing any plugs from the lter socket.

2. Remove the lter cassette by turning the jacking screw anti-

clockwise to partially eject it (see Figure 2), and then gently pulling the cassette upwards, (see Figure 2a).

3. Only t the MK Replacement Filter Cassette (K1800WHI).

Unpack the new ler cassette and check that the pins along the

bottom edge are not bent or broken. If these pins are damaged, do not t the replacement cassette. The audible sound indicating that the lter cassette needs replacing, is optional. It may be prevented by removing the small connector on the two end pins, (see Figure 2b), before tting it into the socket.

Description

The MK Three Pole Fan Isolator provides a safe and simple method of isolating mechanical fan units and is particularly useful in bathrooms, toilets, storerooms and basements where there is little or no natural light.

For example, timer controlled fans are often linked into the lighting circuit for energy saving and convenience. In such an installation there is often a need for the lighting circuit to remain live to provide light whilst the fan unit is externally isolated so that routine maintenance and repairs can be carried out in complete safety.

The fan isolator can be used as a double pole or triple pole isolator. In addition it includes a clear on/off indicator and the frontplate features a fan isolator symbol for easy circuit identication.

Description

MK dimmer switches can fall into one of four categories

1) Standard Dimmer Switches

2) Intelligent Dimmer Switches

3) Non-UK Dimmer Switches

4) LED Intelligent Dimmer Switches

Standard Dimmer Switches

Dimmer Switches belonging to this category employ simpler electronic circuitry and the CE marked products make use of thermal switches to conform to the very stringent requirements of the Standard BS EN 60669-2-1, for overload protection. They are only suitable for use with normal tungsten lament lamps, conforming to BS EN 60064:1996 and BS EN 60432-1 Standards and do not have any added features, e.g. soft start, ability to control dimmable transformers for low voltage, etc.

Standard Dimmer Switches are not suitable for use with transformers for Low Voltage Lighting or Fluorescent Loads, including Energy Saving Lamps.

Intelligent and LED Intelligent Dimmer Switches

Dimmer Switches belonging to this category, employ the latest, state of the art, micro-controller based electronic circuitry and use current sensing to compute the load conditions. These products show progressive reaction to overload conditions, depending on the extent of overload as shown in the table below. List numbers belonging to this category are identied by the suffix letters LV, e.g. K1501WHILV. All MK Intelligent Dimmer Switches employ one pole change over switches to facilitate two way switching.

MK Intelligent and LED Intelligent Dimmer Switches are not suitable for use with Fluorescent Loads, including Energy Saving Lamps.

*Non-UK Dimmer Switches

Dimmer switches belonging to this category only conform to the relevant parts of BSEN66069-2-1. Loads suitable for use with standard dimmer switches above are also suitable for use with this category of dimmer switch.

Only one Dimmer Switch can be used in a two-way switching circuit.

Minimum Brightness Adjustment for LED Intelligent Dimmers

The light output of some LED lamps may appear to be too dim or invisible when the dimmer knob is at the minimum dim level. Follow the steps below to adjust the minimum brightness level. This feature is primarily for adjusting the minimum brightness level of the LED lamp although it can be used for other load types.

For a double gang dimmer, the light level of each gang has to be adjusted separately.

Step 1 – Access To Programming Mode

1. Push the dimmer knob so that it is in OFF state.

2. Set the dimmer knob to minimum level.

mkelectric.co.uk

Min

3. Turn on the dimmer and immediately rotate the knob 3 times in full rotary span within 5 seconds.

Max Min

NOTE: Wait for 3 seconds, the lamp will then dim to minimun before automatically brightening to about 30% level. Turning/pushing the dimmer knob before the end of automatic brightening will end access to programming mode

4. Dimmer enters programming mode.

Step 2 – Adjust Brightness Level and Exit Programming Mode

5. Rotate the dimmer knob anticlockwise to adjust the lamp to the desired brightness level.

NOTE: Some LED lamps may not work properly if the brightness level is set too low thus it is recommended to keep the brightness level of the lamp at a visible level. The dimmer will exit programming mode automatically without saving the new setting if there is no dimmer knob movement for 15 seconds. The dimmer will restore its factory default light level.

Suitable for dimming Low Voltage Halogen lamps via good quality,

fully dimmable electronic or wire-wound transformers. In addition, LED Intelligent dimmer switches are suitable for dimmable LED bulbs for incandescent replacement.

Can be used with good quality mains voltage halogen lamps

incorporating GU10 bases. Please check with lamp manufacturer to determine suitability

Load current sensing:

These dimmers continuously monitor the load current to help protect against overheating in wire wound transformers and to prevent overloading of the dimmer for long term reliability

Soft Start, which gradually increases the light output from the load

over 1 to 3 seconds after switch on. The Soft Start feature is also particularly beneficial when used to dim Mains Voltage Tungsten Halogen lamps which inherently have a very high inrush current at switch on

Installation (TV sockets)

Product performance, systems compatibility

Isolated Outlets are intended for use where safety isolation (rated at 2000V ac) is required to provide protection against faults occurring within any mains powered product used on different parts of the distribution system. They are not suitable for use in systems where DC signals are passed through the socket, (e.g. where masthead/headend equipment is controlled by receiver/decoder equipment).

Diplexer Outlets are used in distribution systems where both TV and FM band signals are combined on a single aerial downlead. The ltering in the diplexer separates the appropriate signals and feeds them through to the relevant output connection port.

Cable Routing and Use of Cable Clamp

Sharp bends in the cable must be avoided during installation. The single TV/FM socket is tted with a cable clamp that can be xed on either side of the termination position to facilitate this.

When tightening the screening braid clamps ensure that the cable is rmly gripped and that the inner insulation is not squashed at beyond a slight oval shape.

Safety Information

TV outlets or modules must not be installed in the same enclosure as equipment rated in excess of 50V, (e.g. mains rated 13A sockets or switches).

Method of installation of TV and FM aerial connection by using MK coaxial socket outlet and only one downlead.

Conventional distribution system for TV and FM signals using a single aerial downlead.

The signals from the TV and FM aerials and the satellite dish are combined together using two products. The rst combines the TV and FM signals and the second adds the Sky signal to the TV/FM signal and provides a DC control path to power the LNB unit on the satellite dish. (These products are not supplied by MK).

The single aerial down lead feeds into the triplexer (black lines in wiring diagram).

The separated satellite signal is then fed to the decoder. The decoded satellite signal is then fed into the VCR along with the TV signal from the Triplexer. The output signal from the VCR then feeds into the TV and also back to the single outlet and onto the distribution amplier (black lines in wiring diagram).

The single cable back-feed then feeds back to the input of a multi way distribution amplier, (typically located in the loft or garage) (red lines in wiring diagram).

Each individual output from the distribution amplier is then fed to the individual rooms in the house to a standard TV (single or diplexer) outlet to which the TV/VCR and/or Hi-Fi can be connected (blue lines in wiring diagram).

Description

There are two ranges of diplexer and triplexer products, an established range suitable for VHF TV, and a range suitable for digital radio (DAB).

Diplexer modules are for connecting to a single co-axial aerial down lead carrying combined TV and FM signals. The ltering in the diplexer splits out the appropriate signal and feeds it to the relevant output connection.

A DC control path is provided in the TV signal path through the diplexer.

Triplexer modules are for connecting to a single co-axial aerial down lead carrying combined TV, FM and SAT signals. The ltering in the triplexer splits out the appropriate signal and feeds it to the relevant output connection.

A DC control path is provided in the SAT signal path through the triplexer.

The quad outlet contains a triplexer together with a separate satellite output, for use with Sky+, or more complex installations.

Telephone secondary outlets are provided on some products for connection of telephone or for interactive TV applications.

Carefully strip 50mm of the telephone cable outer sheath to expose the inner insulated conductors. Using the insertion tool supplied, (MK List no. 400NAT) carefully push each lead into the appropriate IDC terminals according to the wiring colour code stated in the telephone Wiring Scheme diagram.

Pins 1 and 6 are frequently unused, 4 wire cable may be used in these installations.

If an existing installation uses a different wiring colour code system, this should be retained on any new or extended installation.

Additional secondary extension outlets should be wired in parallel with the existing installation via the IDC terminals, (i.e. pin 1 to pin1, pin 2 to pin 2, etc).

In the event that the earth terminal is required to be used, the installer must ensure that a suitable earth conductor is present to connect to the earth terminal. (In the case of 2G products both TV modules should be earthed).

Description

A range of combination plates designed for ease of installation and having all the advantageous design features of the Edge range.

These combination socket outlets provide interior designers and installers with a stylish and practical wiring device solution. The range also has larger euro module frontplates to house eight and twelve single euro modules without the inclusion of xed socket outlets. The K14100 combination socket outlet, for example allows for the inclusion of up to eight single Euro modules, which could include datacoms, telecoms, plus TV and Satellite modules.

Alternatively, Euro Power Modules i.e. German, French/Belgium and American socket outlets may be used.

Note:

Pre-congured back boxes are designed for use with the combination plates.

These back boxes should always be used to ensure alignment of the xing screws is correct and proper segregation between mains and extra low voltage products is maintained

For Edge products, back boxes must be installed ush to the wall surface

Mains operated products and extra low voltage modules must not be installed

within the same frontplate aperture. Refer to BS 7671: 2008 for details

When removing the xing screws and frontplate from an installation to gain

access to low voltage modules, please be aware that there will also be access to the mains supply

Mounting Boxes

Due to the slimline design MK Edge accessories require deeper back boxes than standard. They are designed to t into folded metal boxes that comply with BS 4662. To ensure products can be correctly installed, the box must always be installed ush or sub ush to the surface to a maximum depth of 6mm.

The recommended depth of boxes for the different types of wiring accessories are as follows:

Aspect Installation

The MK ‘Aspect’ range of products consists of the main product complete with its support frame and clipping medium, plus a separate frontplate. The product is mounted to the wall, after wiring, and the front plate clipped onto the frame.

1. The frontplate is supplied loose to aid installation.

2. Make sure not to crush or deform the spring steel clips situated

along one edge of the product support frame.

3. A gasket is also supplied with each product, which may prove

useful on uneven walls. See note 5 below.

4. Using the gasket with all switches and the German socket, will

ensure full compliance with the appropriate standards.

5. Both standards set out to guarantee full engagement of the

frontplate on uneven surfaces, even when there is a mismatch of as much as 1mm between the distance the main body of the product is from the wall and that of the front plate.

6. Where no gasket is used, if thick wallpapers are cut such that

they t around the support frame and therefore remain under the edge of the frontplate, full plate engagement with the clips may be restricted.

Note: When installing Aspect do not over tighten screws, so as to prevent damage or distortion to the product or support frame.

Frontplate Removal

1. Turn off the power supply.

2. Carefully slide a screwdriver between the ramp on the main

body of the product and the notch in the lower right hand edge of the plate.

3. On uneven walls, make sure the screwdriver does not go

between the spring steel ramp and the wall, or damage to the wall and/or product could result.

4. Carefully slide the blade upwards and then gently lift the

handle away from the wall, which will lever the plate away from the rst clip. See Fig.4.

5. With the rst clip released, support the plate with one hand and

continue to move the blade to the left under.

Data products in euromounting frames

Products operating at extra low voltage levels (<50v) must not be mounted in the same Euro enclosures as equipment rated in excess of 50v.

Cleaning Frontplates

In order to protect the quality surface nish of the front plate, periodic cleaning should only consist of polishing with a dry lint free soft cloth.
