How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all wiring meets local safety standards. The unit is designed for surface mounting. Ensure that the mounting surface is flat and that the cable entries are properly sealed to maintain the integrity of the IP54 protection. Once installed, the switch operates by pressing the button to toggle the circuit, and the socket provides a secure connection for compatible plugs, protected by the integrated flap when not in use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the IP54 rating meets the specific environmental requirements of your installation site.
• Ensure the electrical load of your connected devices does not exceed the 16 A limit.
• Check that the mounting surface is suitable for a surface-mounted device.

Usage recommendations

For optimal safety and longevity, always ensure the protective flap is closed when the socket is not in use to maintain the hermetic seal against dust and moisture.
