2. Safety instructions 2.1 General safety instructions Part of the device documentation in addition to this manual is the enclosed "Safety instructions for Bender products". 2.2 Work activities on electrical installations Only qualified personnel are permitted to carry out the work necessary to install, commission and run a device or system.
Since the values are measured with measuring current transformers, the RCMB423EM is almost independent of the nominal voltage and the current of the monitored system. The response value I as well as the response delay t can be configured Δn2...
3. Function 3.1 Device characteristics AC/DC sensitive residual current monitor type B acc. to IEC 62020 and IEC 60755 Quick menu: direct setting of the response value I as well as the Δn2 response delay t r.m.s.
3.2.4 Malfunction In the event of an internal malfunction, all three LEDs will flash. The display shows an error code (E01…E32). In such a case please contact the Bender Ser- vice. 3.2.5 Delay times , The times t, t...
Function Response delay on1/2 When the value drops below or exceeds the response value, the residual cur- rent monitoring device needs the response time t until indication of the alarm. A set response delay t (0…10 s) adds up to the device-related ope- on1/2 rating time t and delays the alarm signalling (total delay time t...

Installation and connection Connection The front plate cover can be opened at the lower part marked with an arrow. 1. DIN Rail mounting: Snap the rear mounting clip of the device into place in such a way that a safe and tight fit is ensured. Screw fixing: Use a tool to position the rear mounting clips so that they project beyond the enclosure (a second mounting clip is required, see ordering information).

Operation and configuration 5.3 Menu structure The RCMB423EM offers an quick menu for uncomplicated setting of I Δn2 . If the factory setting in combination with the quick menu is not enough, you can set the parameters individually via the full menu (refer to Kapitel 5.3.2).
Operation and configuration 5.3.1 Quick menu For quick setting of I and t , there is a direct way: the quick menu. You Δn2 can access it by pressing the MENU button briefly. In principle, the time during which the MENU/Enter button is pressed differs: briefly: <...

In "con" mode, the alarm remains stored even after failure of the supply voltage.
Operation and configuration Alarm assignment in the menu "out" Deactivating an alarm relay K1/K2) via the menu prevents an alarm being indicated by the respective changeover contact! An alarm will only be signalled by the respective WARNING alarm LED (AL1/AL2)! 5.5.2 Menu t (Set delay times) The following delays can be set:...
