Troubleshooting
Socket not receiving power
Verify that the power source is active. Check all connections to the socket and upstream circuit breaker for tightness and correctness. Ensure the plug is fully inserted.
Water ingress detected
Immediately disconnect power. Inspect the housing and cable entries for damage. Ensure cable entries are correctly sized and sealed. Replace any damaged seals. If the internal components appear wet, professional inspection or replacement may be necessary.
Loose terminal connections
Disconnect power. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws on the relevant terminals. Ensure the correct cable size is used and properly seated before tightening.
Overheating during operation
Disconnect power. Check if the connected load exceeds the 63A rating. Ensure terminals are tight and cable size is appropriate for the current. Verify adequate ventilation around the panel.
