Product Information

Full details

The Timeguard TGV101N is a robust 1-gang, 13A switched weatherproof socket designed for outdoor and demanding environments. Its primary benefit is providing safe and reliable power access outdoors, protected by a durable, impact-resistant housing and a clear, lockable cover. A potential consideration is its fixed 1-gang design, which may require multiple units for several power needs.

FAQs

Is this socket suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes, the Timeguard TGV101N is specifically designed with weatherproof and impact-resistant features for permanent outdoor use.

What does the 'ÔVisionÕ clear cover' do?

The clear cover allows you to see the plug connection within the socket without needing to open it, making it easy to confirm connections and ensuring the cover is properly closed.

Can I use any type of plug with this socket?

This socket is designed to be compatible with all standard UK 13A BS 1363 plugs.

Does the socket come with a padlock?

No, the padlock for the lockable cover facility is not included with the socket and must be purchased separately.

What is the IP rating of this socket?

While the specific IP rating is not detailed in the provided information, its designation as 'weatherproof' indicates a significant level of protection against dust and water ingress suitable for outdoor applications.

How do I clean the weatherproof socket?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the housing or seals.

Is this a double socket?

No, the Timeguard TGV101N is a single-gang (1-gang) socket, meaning it provides one outlet for a plug.

Troubleshooting

Socket not providing power

Verify that the power supply to the socket is active. Check that the plug is fully inserted into the socket and the switch is in the 'ON' position. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse for the circuit has not tripped.

Cover difficult to close or seal

Check for any obstructions or debris around the seal or locking mechanism. Ensure the cable from the connected plug is not preventing a proper seal.

Switch feels stiff or unresponsive

Ensure the unit is clean and free from dirt or grit. If the issue persists, the unit may require professional inspection or replacement.
