Frequently Asked Questions
-
What backbox depth is required for the CMA052 installation?
Minimum 25mm backbox depth required. Standard 86x86mm faceplate with 60.3mm horizontal fixing centres fits most single backboxes.
-
Can this FCU control immersion heaters and water heating circuits?
Yes, 13A rating suitable for immersion heaters up to 3kW. Double pole switching isolates both live and neutral for complete circuit isolation.
-
What cable sizes connect to the screw terminals?
Ø5mm screw terminals accept 3x 2.5mm² or 2x 4mm² solid conductors. Tighten to 2Nm torque specification for secure connections.
-
Why choose orange neon indicator over standard switching?
Orange neon provides instant visual confirmation of switching status, essential for appliance isolation verification during maintenance or emergency shutdown situations.
-
FCU trips immediately when appliance connected - what causes this?
Check fuse rating matches appliance load. Verify appliance earth leakage isn't triggering upstream RCD protection. Test with known good appliance first.
-
Does this meet Part P Building Regulations requirements?
Yes, BS 1363-4 and BS 1362 compliance meets Part P requirements. Installation by competent person or notification to Building Control required.
