Socket outlet with voltage indication, pin earthing, shutters,and with amber LED, screw terminals.

The socket outlet is equipped with contact busses with a large contact surface area which do not rest on the base in order to clasp and plug-in terminals with releases. These screws have combination screwheads (Pz2 slot 1x6 mm). Moreover, each screw is equipped with a screwdriver slot that prevents the screwdriver from sliding off the screwhead. The base of the socket outlet is made of urea-formaldehyde (UF), light grey RAL7035. The base is highly heat resistant; it does not melt when exposed to high temperatures, as opposed to thermoplasts. All connection terminals are located on the top and can contain up to 4x2.5 mm² of wire; the earthing terminals can even contain up to 2x2.5 mm² + 2x4 mm² of wire. The stripping length (14 mm) of the wires is indelibly imprinted on the back of the base. The flush-mounting frame is equipped with a round cut-away, on the bottom-left directly above the groove. This opening makes the LED of the voltage indication module visible. The voltage indication module is clicked onto the back of the base and in doing so is immediately connected. When mounting the socket outlet in a flush-mounting box with grip surfaces, use claws that can be rotated open using screws with a combination screwhead (Pz2 1x5.5 mm). The claws, which have a depth of engagement of 31 mm, turn back completely when loosened. The flush-mounting frame is made of 1 mm-thick metal and after cutting is galvanized on all sides, even on the cut edges. On the horizontal and vertical axes, the flush-mounting frame has 4 grooves for screw mounting in flush-mounting boxes. These grooves have a screw aperture of 7 mm. For mounting on panels, the flush-mounting frame is equipped with 4 screw holes (indicated by a screw symbol) with a diameter of 3 mm. The middle of the flush-mounting frame is indicated (chalk line, laser, ..) in both the horizontal and vertical directions, so that mounting one or more socket outlets can be quickly and easily carried out. At the right and left sides, the flush-mounting frame is equipped with folded-up dovetails, allowing for a quick and perfect horizontal coupling of several socket outlets. The folded-up edges on the outside of the flush-mounting frame and their continuation to the inside lend an additional robustness to the frame. Vertical coupling of the socket outlets, centre distance 60 mm, is carried out by telescoping the flush-mounting frames. These are automatically locked into place. For vertical coupling of socket outlets, centre distance 71 mm, the flush-mounting frame is equipped with two pre-formed lips at the bottom. By folding these lips down over a length of 1 mm, this socket outlet rests perfectly on the one below and the centre distance of 71 mm is guaranteed. The 4 rectangular openings (7x2.5 mm) in the flush-mounting frame can compensate for a margin of 1 to 1.2 mm if the flush-mounting box protrudes beyond the plasterwork. In the case of such a margin, the faceplate can still butt up perfectly against the wall. The combination of a socket outlet, a voltage indication module, a central plate and a faceplate has a protection degree of IP41. Flush-mounting depth socket outlet with voltage indication module = 34 mm. Surface-mounting height = max. 9.2 mm. Voltage indication module has CE marking. Socket outlet is CEBEC, NF approved.
