FAQs

What does IP44 mean?

IP44 indicates that the socket-outlet is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.

What is IK08 shock resistance?

IK08 means the socket-outlet can withstand an impact energy of 8 joules, which is equivalent to dropping a 1.7 kg mass from a height of 29.4 cm onto the unit. It signifies a good level of resistance to mechanical impacts.

Can I use this socket-outlet outdoors?

The IP44 rating provides protection against splashes, making it suitable for use in covered outdoor areas. It is not designed for direct exposure to heavy rain or submersion.

What type of wiring does this socket-outlet use?

This socket-outlet uses screw wiring, meaning wires are secured directly into terminals with screws for a robust connection.

What is the pole configuration (2P+E)?

2P+E stands for 2 Poles + Earth. This is a standard configuration for single-phase AC circuits, including live, neutral, and a protective earth connection.

What is the maximum current and voltage this socket can handle?

The socket-outlet is rated for a maximum of 32 Amps and a voltage range of 200V-250V (typically 230V).

Is this socket-outlet suitable for domestic use?

While it meets safety standards, its robust design and specific features like IK08 resistance are often more suited for industrial, commercial, or workshop environments. However, it can be used domestically if these durability features are required.

Troubleshooting

Socket-outlet not providing power

Verify that the power supply is on and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Check all wiring connections for tightness and correct placement.

Loose wire connections

Turn off power. Ensure screws are tightened firmly on the wires. If wires are damaged, they may need to be trimmed and re-stripped before re-insertion.

Visible damage to the casing

Immediately turn off power to the circuit. Do not use the socket-outlet. Replace the unit to ensure safety.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with IK08 shock resistance.
  • IP44 rating for protection against environmental factors.
  • Secure and reliable screw wiring terminals.
  • Designed for easy surface mounting at a 90-degree angle.
  • Certified for safety and quality by CE and ENEC.

Cons

  • Limited to 230V and 32A, not suitable for all applications.
  • Requires specific wiring termination, not plug-and-play.
  • Blue color might not suit all aesthetic requirements.
  • Fixed 90-degree angle may not be ideal for all installation types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before installation.
  2. Mount the socket-outlet securely to a suitable surface using appropriate fixings.
  3. Connect the appropriate wires (live, neutral, earth) to the designated screw terminals according to local electrical codes and the product's pole configuration (2P+E).
  4. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
  5. Re-establish power and test the socket-outlet.

Compatibility:

  • This socket-outlet is designed for a rated voltage of 230V and a rated current of 32A.
  • It is compatible with 50/60 Hz frequencies.
  • Ensure the connected plug and any associated wiring are rated appropriately for these specifications.

Care:

  • Clean the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Periodically check connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
  • Inspect the unit for any signs of damage, especially after impacts, and replace if necessary.
