FAQs

Can I use this to convert a double back box to a double socket?

No, this converter is specifically designed to fit into a standard single-gang back box and convert it into a double socket. It cannot be used with pre-existing double-gang back boxes.

What is the maximum load this converter can handle?

The convertor is rated for 13A, suitable for standard UK mains power.

Do I need an electrician to install this?

While the design incorporates features for easier installation, it involves mains electrical work. If you are not comfortable or knowledgeable about electrical wiring, it is recommended to use a qualified electrician.

What material is the socket made from?

The socket is constructed from durable, anti-microbial urea.

How do I clean the surface?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Does this product come with a warranty?

Please refer to the retailer or Schneider Electric for specific warranty information, as it typically varies by region and purchase conditions.

Troubleshooting

No power to either socket.

Ensure the main power switch at the consumer unit is turned ON. Check all wiring connections are secure and correctly terminated. Verify the circuit breaker has not tripped.

One socket works, the other does not.

This usually indicates a wiring fault. Turn off the power and re-check the wiring for the non-functional socket. Ensure wires are firmly in their terminals.

Unit feels loose on the wall.

Turn off the power. Ensure the back box is securely fixed to the wall and that the convertor unit is firmly screwed into the back box.
