How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and safety regulations. The surface-mounted unit must be securely attached to a stable vertical wall or panel using appropriate hardware. Ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before wiring the 3P+N+PE cables to the internal terminals. After installation, verify that the cable glands and housing seals are properly tightened to maintain the IP44 protection rating during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16 A current and 400V voltage match your specific power requirements
• Check that the 3P+N+PE configuration aligns with your electrical system
• Confirm that the IP44 splash-proof rating is sufficient for your installation environment
• Ensure surface-mounting space is available and suitable for the unit dimensions

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the housing and terminal connections for signs of wear, damage, or looseness. Keep the protective cover closed when the socket is not in use to maintain environmental resistance.
