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.

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.
