The Ospel FALA hermetic single-pole switch combined with a single socket is a robust electrical solution engineered for environments where moisture and dust protection are essential. This integrated unit features a durable construction with an IP44 rating, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions. The inclusion of a transparent protective flap over the socket provides an extra layer of safety against splashes and debris, while the grey and graphite aesthetic offers a modern, professional look suitable for various industrial and residential settings.

Advantages

This combined switch and socket unit offers significant space-saving benefits by integrating two essential electrical functions into a single, compact housing. The IP44 ingress protection rating makes it highly resistant to water splashes and solid objects, ensuring long-term durability and safety in damp environments. Its high-quality materials are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, while the transparent flap allows for easy visual inspection of the socket status without compromising the protective seal. The ergonomic design ensures straightforward installation and reliable operation for both residential and commercial users.

Suitable for

• Garages and workshops
• Outdoor covered areas
• Basements and utility rooms
• Industrial facilities
• Garden sheds

This unit may not be suitable for areas subject to direct, high-pressure water jets or complete submersion, as the IP44 rating only provides protection against splashing water. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme chemical exposure or high-temperature zones that exceed the specified operating limits of the housing material.

Key specifications

• Protection rating: IP44
• Function: Single-pole switch combined with a single socket
• Color: Grey and graphite
• Design: Hermetic with a transparent protective flap
• Mounting type: Surface-mounted

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure all safety standards and local electrical codes are met. The unit is designed for surface mounting, requiring a stable, flat surface for secure attachment. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Once mounted, verify that the protective flap closes securely to maintain the hermetic seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the IP44 rating meets your specific environmental requirements
• Check the compatibility of your existing wiring and mounting surface
• Ensure the installation location is protected from direct, heavy rain or water immersion
• Confirm that the electrical load does not exceed the rated capacity of the socket and switch

For optimal safety and longevity, ensure the protective flap is kept closed when the socket is not in use and periodically inspect the housing for any signs of physical damage or degradation.
