[Diagram Description: Page 1 shows the RCA iC60 and Vigi iC60 modules, lists model numbers, Vigi iC60 ratings, and compatible accessory types.]

Assembly and Installation

Module Assembly

The RCA iC60 can be combined with Vigi iC60 modules. This involves clipping the Vigi module onto the RCA iC60. The process is shown for both 2-pole (2P) and 3/4-pole (3P/4P) configurations.

[Diagram Description: Page 2 illustrates the physical connection of Vigi iC60 modules (2P and 3P/4P) to the RCA iC60, showing a 180° rotation and clipping mechanism.]

DIN Rail Mounting

Install the assembled RCA iC60 and Vigi iC60 unit onto a standard DIN rail. The installation process includes pushing the unit onto the rail until an audible and tactile [Click!] is heard, indicating secure mounting.

[Diagram Description: Page 2, Step 4 shows the process of mounting the assembled RCA iC60 and Vigi iC60 onto a DIN rail, with a visual cue for secure attachment.]

Modes of Operation and Wiring

Control Modes

The RCA iC60 supports different operational modes:

Mode 1: Local or centralized control for opening/closing the circuit breaker.
Mode 3: Centralized control with local override capability.

Control signals Y1, Y2, and Y3 (for Ti24 models) manage these operations:

Y1: Local control (latched or impulse) or authorized by Y3.
Y2: Local control (impulse or latched).
Y3 (Ti24): Centralized control (latched).

Reset Authorization (SD Signal)

The behavior of resetting the device after a trip (fault) depends on the SD signal:

Mode 1 A / Mode 3 A: Resetting by Y1, Y2, or Y3 is authorized ✔️ after a trip when SD = 1.
Mode 1 B / Mode 3 B: Resetting by Y1, Y2, or Y3 is inhibited ❌ after a trip when SD = 1.

[Diagram Description: Page 3 details the control modes (Mode 1, Mode 3) and their functions across multiple languages. Page 4, Step 8 elaborates on the difference between reset authorization (Mode A) and inhibition (Mode B) based on the SD signal.]

Wiring and Connections

Connect the RCA iC60 and Vigi iC60 according to the wiring diagrams. Key terminals include:

N/P: Power supply connection.
Y1, Y2, Y3 (Ti24): Control signal inputs for remote operation.
SD: Signal for reset authorization/inhibition.
OF: Output signal indicating device status.
24V DC / 0V: Power supply for control circuits.
PLC Connections: Inputs and outputs for integration with programmable logic controllers.

Connection	Wire Size (mm²)	Torque (N.m)
N/P	0.5 - 10 mm²	-
Y1, Y2	0.5 - 2.5 mm²	-
OF (11-12 NC, 11-14 NO)	0.5 - 1.5 mm²	-
SD, Y3, 24V, 0V	0.5 - 1.5 mm²	-
Ti24 (24 V)	0.5 - 1.5 mm²	-
Main Power Terminals	0.5 - 10 mm²	1 N.m
Control Terminals	0.5 - 2.5 mm²	0.7 N.m

[Diagram Description: Page 3 provides detailed wiring diagrams, terminal specifications, wire sizes, and torque values for connections.]

Functional Features and Safety

Remote Control Capabilities

The RCA iC60 is ready for remote control ▶️ by Y1, Y2, or Y3. Remote control may be impossible under certain conditions, such as thermal auto-protection (Overheat) or if the device is not powered.

[Diagram Description: Page 4, Section 6 lists conditions for RCA iC60 remote control readiness and impossibility, including thermal protection.]

Thermal Auto-Protection (Overheat)

? If the time interval between two remote control commands is less than 1 minute, the RCA iC60 may activate thermal auto-protection (Overheat) for a duration of 5 seconds to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

[Diagram Description: Page 5, Section 11 illustrates the timing for remote control commands and the resulting overheat protection duration.]

Test and Verification

A TEST function is available to verify the operation of the device.

[Diagram Description: Page 4, Section 7 shows the TEST/VERIFICATION function.]

Safety Warning: Padlocking Device

RISK OF DAMAGING THE RCA IC60 SWITCHGEAR. When the switch is OFF, position the padlocking device in the retracted position before moving the lever. Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

[Diagram Description: Page 5, Section 10 highlights the safety warning regarding the padlocking device and potential equipment damage.]

Operational Waveforms

The document includes diagrams illustrating the timing of control signals (Y1, Y2, Y3) and the state of the iC60 (ON/OFF) for various operational modes (Mode 1, Mode 3) and configurations. These waveforms help visualize the device's response to different inputs.

[Diagram Description: Page 6 displays detailed waveform charts for different operational modes and configurations, showing signal timing.]
