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 infirm 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 Specification) are fitted 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 specified within the latest edition of
BS7671 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
Double Socket Testing
Flush mounting steel wall box
After installation, turn the mains electricity supply on.
It should be noted that some of the conduit entries may be restricted,

depending upon their positions and the depth of box used.
To test that the Sentrysocket is functioning correctly follow the

steps 1 to 4 below:
Socket Testing
1. Ensure that no appliance is connected to the Sentrysocket.
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 flag 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 flag 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 specified time:
200 ms AT RATED TRIP CURRENT
40 ms AT 5 x RATED TRIP CURRENT

If the Sentrysocket does not trip within the specified 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 first).
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 specified 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.
4. Reset all tripped RCDs 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.
Note: If a fault is identified 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
filters 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 filer performance of the MK Filtered
Switchsocket outlet can be restored by replacing the filter cassette.
When the filter cassette needs replacing, the green indicator on
the Replacement Filer Cassette will glow red or go out, an audible
beep every five seconds may also be heard.
Note: As with all filters, 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.
CONTACT GAP
4mm switch contact gap
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 identification.

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 filament 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 identified by the suffix letters LV, e.g. K1501WHILV.
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
BSEN66069-2-1. 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.
Push to
switch OFF
Min
3. Turn on the dimmer and immediately rotate the knob 3 times in full rotary span within 5 seconds.
Push to
switch ON
Max
Min
Max
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.
Min
Turn anticlockwise to adjust

the brightness level.
6. Confirm the new setting and exit programming mode by turning OFF the dimmer.
Push to
switch OFF
Step 3 Success indication (Programming Complete)

7. The next time the dimmer is turned on the lamp will automatically brighten to the maximum level before dimming to the brightness
level corresponds to the knob level.

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

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

Digital TV and Telephone Outlets

(Logic Plus and Modular Datacoms)
Installation (TV sockets)
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).

Cable Routing and Use of Cable Clamp
When tightening the screening braid clamps

ensure that the cable is firmly gripped and that
the inner insulation is not squashed flat beyond
a slight oval shape.
TV
Diplexer Outlets are used in distribution

systems where both TV and FM band signals
are combined on a single aerial downlead. The
filtering in the diplexer separates the appropriate
signals and feeds them through to the relevant
output connection port.
Sharp bends in the cable must be avoided

during installation. The single TV/FM socket is
fitted with a cable clamp that can be fixed on
either side of the termination position to facilitate
this.

1
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).
The signals from the TV and FM aerials and the satellite dish are
combined together using two products. The first 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 amplifier (black lines in wiring diagram).
The single cable back-feed then feeds back to the input of a multi
way distribution amplifier, (typically located in the loft or garage)
(red lines in wiring diagram).
Each individual output from the distribution amplifier 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).

Diplexer modules are for connecting to a single co-axial aerial down lead carrying
combined TV and FM signals. The filtering 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 filtering 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

When installing the TV co-axial cable ensure

that all cable bends are smooth so that the
inner insulation is not crushed or squashed,
otherwise the TV signal quality may be
affected
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.
Not suitable for loop-in loop-out installations
Use CT100 cable (or equivalent)
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).

EdgeTM Technical: General information
Mounting Boxes
Fixing Screws
Due to the slimline design MK Edge accessories

require deeper back boxes than standard. They
are designed to fit into folded metal boxes that
comply with BS 4662. To ensure products can
be correctly installed, the box must always be
installed flush or sub flush to the surface to a
maximum depth of 6mm.
The surface head of Edge fixing screws is

treated and compliment the finish of the
frontplate. To prevent damage to the fixing screw
extreme care is required. It is recommended that
a screwdriver with a maximum blade of 3.5mm
is used.
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 fit 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 first clip. See Fig.4.
5. With the first 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 finish of the front plate,
periodic cleaning should only consist of polishing with a dry lint
free soft cloth.
For a full range of corresponding products,

see pages 98-128 in the product selector.
