FAQs

What does IP55 mean?

IP55 signifies that the device is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. It's suitable for environments with moderate moisture and dust.

Can this unit be used outdoors?

While it offers good protection against water sprays, it is primarily designed for indoor use in damp or dusty environments like bathrooms, kitchens, or workshops. Outdoor use may be possible depending on specific local regulations and exposure, but it is not its primary design intent.

What type of plug does the socket accept?

The socket is a Type F Schuko socket, which is standard in many European countries and accepts plugs with two round pins.

How do I clean the combination switch socket?

Clean the unit with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.

Is this product halogen-free?

Yes, the Hager Berker W.1 Combination Switch Socket is constructed with halogen-free materials.

What type of switch is integrated?

The integrated switch is a change-over switch, operated by a rocker or push-button mechanism.

Can this be mounted flush with the wall?

No, this unit is specifically designed for surface mounting. It features a rear membrane to help seal against the wall, even if it's uneven.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on

Verify that the power supply is connected and switched on. Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly installed according to the manual.

Switch not functioning

Ensure the change-over switch is properly wired. Check for any obstructions that might prevent the rocker/push-button from engaging.

Socket not providing power

Confirm the socket is wired correctly and that the circuit breaker for that outlet has not tripped. Test the socket with a known working device.

Reduced protection against water/dust

Ensure the hinged cover is properly closed and sealed. Check that the rear membrane is correctly positioned and that all cable entries are sealed.
