RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL STORAGE Below are the instructions to follow for a correct storage of the materials. Failure to comply with the indications supplied may cause damage to the materials, and make the product warranties void. Store the material in a dry place, protected from weather conditions such as rain and humidity, to prevent the formation of condensation inside the busbars.
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before the installation, all material should be inspected for damage. When installing the busbars comply with the following: For the installation only use bracketing systems supplied by BTicino, and follow the instructions found in the catalogue or enclosed with the item. Only use accessories supplied by BTicino.
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL Distances and dimensions When positioning the elements, pay attention to the distances from the ceiling, wall and floor. The minimum distances indicated are essential to avoid problems when pouring the resin into the joint. The above distances apply to all current values of the RCP busbars (from 630A to 6300A).
Page 11
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL Applications underground If the busbars are installed underground, it is mandatory to install them inside a duct. The use of solid supports is recommended to support the busbars along its entire length. It is also suggested to provide a top cover. With regard to the distances, it is mandatory to maintain the distances from the side walls and ceiling previously seen.
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL If the prescribed distances are not respected, the mold of the junctions kit can no longer be removed after casting. Types of supports There are brackets for vertical and for horizontal suspension, on request we have brackets solution for aggressive environments. HORIZONTAL SUSPENSION BRACKET The brackets enable sturdy installation of the busbar to the system support structures.

Page 14
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL VERTICAL SUSPENSION BRACKET In case of rising mains, thanks to pre-load springs (see page 18), these brackets absorb the forces pressing on the busbar and direct any expansion in a precise direction. They therefore operate as a limitation, and support the traction and compression forces of the busbar trunking system.
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL Rules for supports installation A support shall never coincide with a junction For easier leveling, always use two supports for each element. Always maintain a distance of at least 530 mm between the center of junction and the support on one side of the junction to be able to assemble the junction kit. The minimum distances between the installed elements, walls, and ceilings must be taken into account while installing the supports, as shown before ( distance and dimension Paragraph ).

RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL There are two different configurations: Standard brackets vertical brackets 1.Without springs 2.With springs Configuration 1 : use this configuration if the section line is between 2 an 4 meters. The vertical bracket must be secured to the wall; the standard bracket must be secured to shelves which can guarantee the load.
Page 17
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL ASSEMBLY collar Tie rod Support The brackets with springs for the vertical solution must be installed as shown in the previous figure and following the indications reported in their instruction sheet. In case vertical brackets without springs are used, it is first necessary to fix the tie rods and the collar to the bar and then fix the collar to the support.

RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL ACCESSORIES If you do not use supports supplied by Bticino to fix the busbar, you must verify the support capacity load of your supports. You can use the following technical data: 4P - (3P+N) without earth - STANDARD 4P - (3P+N)+Pe1 RCP –...
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL VERTICAL INSTALLATION It’s possible install busbars in vertical position JUNCTION INSTALLATION WARNINGS Read all the instruction sheet (attached with mould kit) before starting the installation Ensure that all contact surfaces are clean and free of impurities. Ensure that the monoblock is exactly in-between two elements to be joined. Do not knock or hit the junction block hard when you insert it.
Page 21
RCP INSTALLATION MANUAL Delay casting if the required ambient temperatures cannot be maintained for a minimum of 6 hours. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after work. Before start pouring the junction be sure that all the elements of the line are in the correct position.
