Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Masterplug Nexus Storm fully waterproof?

It is rated IP66, which means it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, but it should not be submerged in water.

Can I use this for permanent outdoor wiring?

No, this product is designed for temporary power supply; for permanent outdoor installations, consult a qualified electrician.

What is the purpose of the RCD plug?

The RCD plug is a safety device that quickly cuts off electricity if it detects a leak in the current, significantly reducing the risk of fatal electric shock.

Can I replace the cable with a longer one?

The unit comes pre-wired for safety and compliance; modifying the cable may void the warranty and compromise the IP rating.

How do I test the RCD?

The RCD plug typically features a 'Test' button; press this periodically to ensure the protection mechanism is functioning correctly.

Troubleshooting

The LED indicator is off

Check that the main power source is active and ensure the RCD plug is correctly seated and switched on at the wall.

Power is cutting out intermittently

Verify that the load on the socket does not exceed 13A total and ensure the RCD has not tripped due to a fault in the connected appliance.

Lid will not close properly

Check for debris in the hinge area or obstructions from oversized plug heads that may prevent the cover from sealing against the gasket.

Pros and Cons

  • High IP66 ingress protection rating
  • Visible LED power indicators
  • Enhanced safety with integrated RCD
  • Pre-wired for immediate plug-and-play installation

Cons

  • Cable length is limited to 3 metres

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Nexus Storm, locate an indoor or existing waterproof socket and plug in the provided RCD-protected lead. Ensure the unit is mounted in a vertical position to maintain its weather-resistant integrity. Compatibility is limited to standard 13A UK plugs. For care, periodically inspect the rubber seals around the lid for signs of wear or debris, as these seals are essential to maintaining the IP66 weather rating. Keep the unit free from dirt and ensure the transparent cover is not obstructed during use.
