Function
2 Function
2 1 Intended use
The AC/DC sensitive residual current monitor RCMA423 is designed for use in earthed systems (TN and TT
systems) where DC and AC fault currents may occur.
These are in particular loads containing six-pulse rectifiers or one way rectifiers with smoothing, such as
converters, battery chargers, construction site equipment with frequency-controlled drives. Two separately
adjustable response ranges allow to distinguish between prewarning (IΔn1 = 50…100 % of the set response
value IΔn2) and alarm (IΔn2). Since the values are measured with measuring current transformers, the RCMA423 is
nearly independent of the nominal voltage and the load current of the system being monitored.
In order to meet the requirements of the applicable standards, customised parameter settings must be made
on the equipment in order to adapt it to local equipment and operating conditions. Please heed the limits of
the range of application indicated in the technical data. Any use other than that described in this manual is
regarded as improper.
2 2 Device features
•AC/DC sensitive residual current monitor Type B according to IEC 62020 and IEC 60755
•Two separately adjustable response ranges (prewarning, alarm)
•Adjustable switching hysteresis
•R.m.s. value measurement
•Starting delay, response delay and delay on release
•Measured value display via multi-functional LC display
•Alarm indication via LEDs (AL1, AL2) and changeover contacts (K1, K2)
•N/C operation or N/O operation selectable
•Password protection against unauthorized parameter changing
•Fault memory function can be switched off
•CT connection monitoring
2 3 Function
Once the supply voltage US is applied, the starting delay is activated. Measured values changing during this
time do not influence the switching state of the alarm relays.
Die Differenzstrommessung erfolgt über einen externen Messstromwandler CTUB101- CTBC20…210(P)
The currently measured value is shown on the LC display. In this way any changes, for example when circuits
are connected to the system, can be recognized easily.
If the measured value exceeds one or both response values, the response delays ton1/2 start running. Once the
response delay ton1/2 has elapsed, the K1/ K2 alarm relays switch and the alarm LEDs AL1/AL2 light up.
If the residual current falls below the release value (response value minus hysteresis), the delay on release toff
begins. Once the release delay toff has elapsed, the alarm relays return to their original state and the alarm LEDs
AL1/AL2 go out. If the fault memory is activated, the alarm relays remain in the alarm state and the LEDs light
until the reset button is pressed or until the supply voltage is interrupted.
The device function can be tested using the test button. The parameterization of the device can be carried out
via the LC display and the function keys integrated in the front plate and can be password-protected.

LINETRAXX® RCMA423
2 3 1 Connection monitoring
The CT connections are continuously monitored. In the event of a fault, the alarm relays K1 / K2 switch without
delay, the alarm LEDs AL1 / AL2 / ON flash (Error Code E.01). After eliminating the fault, the alarm relays
automatically return to their initial position, provided that the fault memory M is deactivated. With the fault
memory activated, K1/K2 return to their initial position by pressing the reset button R. A second cascaded
measuring current transformer will not be monitored.
2 3 2 Fast response value query
With the display in standard mode, the currently measured response values IΔn1 and IΔn2 can be queried
pressing the Up and Down keys ( < 1.5 s). Switchover to the Menu mode is not required. If you want to exit the
fast response value query, press the enter key.
2 3 3 Automatic self test
The device automatically carries out a self test after connecting to the system to be monitored and later every
24 hours. During the self test internal functional faults will be detected and appear in form of an error code on
the display.
The alarm relays are not checked during this test.
2 3 4 Manual self test
After pressing the test button for > 1.5 s, the device carries out a self test. During this test, internal functional
faults are detected and will be displayed in form of an error code. The alarm relays are not checked during this
test.
While the test button T is pressed and held down, all device-related display elements appear on the display.
2 3 5 Functional faults
If an internal functional fault occurs, all three LEDs flash. An error code will appear on the display (E01…E32). In
such a case please contact the Bender Service.
2 3 6 Set the number of reload cycles
If faults occur only temporarily, but recurrently, in the system being monitored, with the fault memory M
deactivated, the alarm relays would switch synchronously to the error status. RL in the out menu can be
used to limit the number of these changeover processes. As soon as the preset number of switching cycles is
exceeded, the fault memory will come on and an activated alarm remains stored.
2 3 7 Assigning alarm categories to alarm relays K1/K2
The alarm categories device error, residual current IΔn1, residual current IΔn2 or alarm by device test can be
assigned to the alarm relays via the ‘out’ menu.
2 3 8 Time delays t, ton and toff
The times t, ton and toff described below, delay the output of alarms via LEDs and relays.
Starting delay t
After connection to the supply voltage, the alarm indication is delayed by the preset time t (0…10 s).
Response delay ton1/2
RCMA423_D00063_04_M_XXEN/12.2023 9
Function
If the residual current increases above or falls below the response value the response time tan expires. After the
expiry of the response time an alarm is signalled. A set response delay ton1/2 (0…10 s) adds up to the device-
related operating time tae and delays alarm signalling (total delay time tan = tae + ton).
If the residual current fault changes from a value above the response value to a value below the response
value, an alarm will not be signalled.
Delay on release toff
When no alarm exists after deactivating the fault memory, the alarm LEDs go out and the alarm relays switch
back to their initial position. After activating the delay on release (0…99 s), the alarm state is continuously
maintained for the selected period.
2 3 9 Residual current monitoring in window discriminator mode
Change the measuring principle by selecting the window mode (SEt / In). In the window discriminator mode,
the threshold values I1 and I2 represent the upper and the lower value. If the measured value is not within this
area, an alarm is initiated by the device.
2 3 10 Password protection (on, OFF)
When the password protection is activated (on), settings are only possible after entering the correct password
(0…999).
2 3 11 Factory setting FAC
After activating the factory setting, all settings previously changed are reset to delivery status.
2 3 12 Erasable history memory
The first alarm value that occurs will be saved in this memory. The memory can be cleared via the menu HiS.
2 3 13 External, combined test/reset button T/R
Reset = Pressing the external button < 1.5 s
Test = Pressing the external button > 1.5 s
2 3 14 Fault memory
The fault memory can be activated, deactivated or set to continuous mode (con). If the fault memory is set to
‘con’ mode, the alarm parameters remain stored even on failure of the supply voltage. Stored alarms can be
reset by means of the reset button R.
