1. Carefully remove the existing socket (if applicable) and disconnect the wiring, noting the connections.
2. Prepare the new socket by loosening the angled in-line colour-coded captive screw terminals.

   • Brown/Red wire: Connect to the 'L' (Live) terminal.
   • Blue/Black wire: Connect to the 'N' (Neutral) terminal.

3. Betjeningsvejledning

The BG Electrical Double Switched Power Socket operates like any standard switched wall socket. Each outlet has an independent switch for controlling power to the connected appliance.

• To supply power: Insert the appliance plug into the desired socket. Flip the corresponding switch to the 'ON' position.
• To cut power: Flip the corresponding switch to the 'OFF' position. This will disconnect power to the appliance without needing to unplug it.

Figure 5: The socket is designed for standard electrical plugs, providing reliable power access for various appliances.

4. Vedligeholdelse

This power socket requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and periodic safety checks are recommended.

• Rensning: To clean the polished chrome finish, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishes as these can damage the finish. Always ensure the power is off before cleaning.
• Sikkerhedstjek: Periodically check the socket for any signs of damage, such as cracks, loose connections, or discolouration. If any issues are observed, isolate the power and consult a qualified electrician immediately.

5. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your power socket, consider the following common troubleshooting steps. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.

• No Power from Socket:
  • Check if the switch on the socket is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the appliance is working by testing it in another known-good socket.
  • Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the circuit at your consumer unit/fuse box. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse if tripped/blown.
  • Sørg for, at stikket er sat helt ind i stikkontakten.
• Løs forbindelse:
  • If the socket feels loose on the wall, isolate the power and gently tighten the mounting screws. Do not overtighten.
  • If the internal wiring feels loose, this requires professional attention. Do not attempt to fix internal wiring unless you are a qualified electrician.
• Socket is Hot to Touch:
  • Immediately unplug any appliances and switch off the power to the socket at the consumer unit.
  • A hot socket can indicate an overload or a faulty connection. This requires immediate inspection by a qualified electrician.
