How to use

Install the socket-outlet according to local electrical regulations and the manufacturer’s mounting instructions.

After installation, test continuity and earth connection before putting connected equipment into service.

Usage recommendations

Use this socket-outlet for appliances and equipment within its 16 A rating; avoid overloading. For installations in fully exposed outdoor locations or where hose-directed water may occur, select a product with a higher protection rating. Periodically inspect the outlet for signs of wear, damage, or loss of ingress protection and repair or replace it if necessary.
