Product Information
Full details
This Kopp 4-way socket combination is designed for users needing a reliable and safe power extension, especially in environments with moisture. Its key benefit is the IP44 rating, offering protection against splashes and jets of water, making it ideal for workshops or garages. A potential consideration is its fixed 1.4-meter cord length, which may limit placement options. Key features include four grounded sockets with 45° angled, twisted plug positions, an illuminated on/off switch, and a protective flip cover for enhanced safety.

FAQs
What does the IP44 rating mean?
IP44 means the socket combination is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires or small tools) and splashing water from any direction.
Can I use this outdoors?
While it has IP44 protection, it's generally recommended for indoor use in damp environments like garages or workshops. It is not rated for direct rain or prolonged exposure to weather elements.
How much power can this socket strip handle?
The Kopp socket combination supports a maximum power output of 3680W, with a current rating of 16A.
What type of plugs are compatible?
This is a Type F (German Schuko) socket strip, designed for Type F plugs. The sockets are angled at 45 degrees and twisted to accommodate most standard plugs and adapters.
Is the cable length adjustable?
No, the cable length is fixed at 1.4 meters.
How do I reset the power if it trips?
This unit does not have a specific reset button for tripping. If a device draws too much power, it may cause the main circuit breaker to trip. Ensure you are within the 3680W limit and check your home's electrical system.
Can I replace the illuminated switch if it fails?
The switch is integrated and not designed for user replacement. If the switch or its illumination fails, contact customer support for assistance or repair options.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not power connected devices.
Check if the illuminated switch is in the 'on' position. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Verify that the total power draw does not exceed the 3680W limit.
Switch is not illuminated.
The illumination indicates power is supplied. If it's not lit and devices are not working, check the main power source. If devices are working but the light is out, the indicator bulb may have failed, but the switch function should still operate.
Protection cover does not close properly.
Ensure no cables or plugs are obstructing the cover. Gently align the cover and apply even pressure. If damaged, contact the manufacturer for replacement parts.
