FAQs

What is the main advantage of the IP67 rating?

The IP67 rating signifies that the socket is dust-tight and protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, making it highly suitable for wet or dusty environments.

Can I use this socket with a 32A plug?

No, this socket is rated for 16A and is designed to be used with compatible 16A plugs. Using a higher amperage plug can be dangerous and damage the equipment.

What type of cable can be used with this socket?

This socket is designed for use with both flexible and rigid cables with a cross-section ranging from 1mm² to 4mm².

How do I know the correct clock position for the voltage?

This socket features a 6h clock position for its 400V rating, indicated by the red color and specific marking, ensuring correct phase alignment when connecting compatible plugs.

What does IK08 protection mean?

IK08 indicates a medium level of mechanical impact resistance, meaning the enclosure is protected against significant impacts, contributing to its overall durability in industrial settings.

Is this socket suitable for outdoor permanent installation?

Yes, due to its IP67 rating and robust construction, it is well-suited for permanent outdoor installations provided it is mounted correctly and protected from direct, prolonged high-pressure water jets.

Troubleshooting

Socket not receiving power

Verify that the power source is active and that the plug is fully inserted into the socket. Check the wiring connections at the screw terminals for looseness or incorrect placement. Ensure the circuit breaker feeding the socket has not tripped.

Difficulty inserting or removing plug

Ensure you are using a compatible plug. Check for any debris inside the socket or on the plug contacts. Do not force the connection; inspect for misalignment.

Loose connection at terminals

Disconnect power. Open the terminal cover and re-tighten the screw terminals for each wire. Ensure the cable is properly stripped and seated within the terminal.
