How to use

To use the Elgotech G-1-2, first ensure the power supply is completely disconnected.

Connect the phase, neutral, and ground wires to the corresponding terminals inside the socket, ensuring all screws are tightened firmly to prevent loose connections. Once the wiring is secure, reassemble the housing, ensuring the cable strain relief is properly positioned to prevent tension on the internal connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the cable gauge is compatible with the terminal capacity
• Verify that the total power load of connected devices does not exceed 16A
• Check local electrical regulations regarding DIY cable assembly

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the cable and socket for signs of wear or damage before each use. If the casing appears cracked or the internal connections feel loose, replace the unit immediately to maintain electrical safety.
