Frame (1-gang) Kontakt-Simon Simon 54 Premium, IP20/IP44 compatible, matte black (DRK1/49)

The Kontakt-Simon Simon 54 Premium 1-gang frame (matte black) is a decorative mounting frame designed for one-gang switch or socket installations. It is intended to be used with the Simon 54 series of modular electrical fittings and fits installation boxes that meet IP20 or IP44 protection requirements. The matte black finish provides a subdued, non-reflective appearance suitable for a variety of interior styles and for locations where splash protection is required when combined with compatible IP44-rated inserts.

Advantages

This frame offers a precise fit for Simon 54 series mechanisms, ensuring a neat visible edge and consistent alignment with adjacent frames and modules. The matte black surface resists reflections and helps mask minor fingerprints or smudges. Compatibility with IP20 and IP44 protection levels allows flexible use in dry indoor environments and in zones where splash protection is needed, provided the installed device and mounting method meet the appropriate ingress protection requirements. The frame is lightweight and designed for easy installation and replacement without altering underlying wiring.

How to use

Install the frame by first ensuring the electrical mechanism (switch or socket) is compatible with the Simon 54 series and that the mounting box provides the required IP20 or IP44 protection. Secure the mechanism in the electrical box according to the device manufacturer's instructions, verify correct wiring and fastening, then snap or screw the decorative frame into place so that it aligns evenly with the surrounding wall. For locations requiring splash protection, confirm that the selected insert and sealing elements rated for IP44 are properly installed before fitting the frame.

Usage recommendations

Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe the matte surface; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Ensure compatibility between the frame, the selected Simon 54 mechanism, and the installation box to maintain the intended protection level. For wet-area applications choose the correct IP44-rated inserts and follow local electrical codes and safety practices during installation.
