How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local safety standards.

Ensure that the socket is mounted within an All Weather 44 cover frame to guarantee the IP44 protection level before finalizing the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the installation location is suitable for an IP44-rated device.
