Suitable for

• Kitchens and utility rooms where moisture exposure is possible
• Bathrooms and laundry areas requiring IP44 protection
• Commercial spaces needing enhanced socket safety
• Modern interior designs featuring matte black electrical accessories

When it may not be suitable

This cover is not intended for use in environments requiring higher protection ratings than IP44, such as areas subject to direct water jets or heavy flooding. It is also not compatible with standard frames that do not support the specific IP44 gasket requirement.

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP44 (when used with required gasket)
• Color: Matte black
• Features: Integrated shutters and transparent flap
• Compatibility: Designed for the Simon 54 series

How to use

To install the cover, ensure the power supply is disconnected. The component must be mounted onto a compatible Simon 54 frame. It is mandatory to install the dedicated IP44 gasket between the frame and the wall to achieve the specified protection level. Once the gasket is positioned, snap the cover into place, ensuring the flap moves freely and the shutters are correctly aligned with the socket openings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing socket mechanism is compatible with the Simon 54 series
• Ensure you have the required IP44 gasket, as it is necessary for the protection rating
• Confirm the installation environment meets the IP44 criteria

Usage recommendations

For optimal safety and performance, always ensure the transparent flap is closed when the socket is not in use. Regularly inspect the gasket for signs of wear to maintain the IP44 seal integrity over time.
