To install the unit, ensure the power supply is completely disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Secure the base housing to the desired surface using appropriate screws and wall plugs. Connect the electrical wiring according to local safety regulations, ensuring that the grounding wire is correctly attached to the socket terminal. Once the wiring is verified, attach the cover securely to maintain the hermetic seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the IP44 rating meets the specific requirements of your installation environment.
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat and stable for proper seal alignment.
• Check that your existing wiring is compatible with a combined socket and double switch configuration.

For optimal safety and longevity, ensure that the cable entry points are properly sealed using appropriate cable glands or grommets to maintain the IP44 integrity. Regularly inspect the housing for any signs of damage or wear, especially in high-traffic areas.
