SOCKETBOX MOUNTING
The Socketbox should be situated
in a site that is protected from:
• Flooding
• Extreme heat
• Physical damage
• Tampering by adults
and children
The Powersafe socket box is supplied with a mounting
bracket, four screws and wall plugs for convenient
wall or post mounting, contained within this carton.
POWERSAFE GARDEN POWER SPIKE
(SOLD SEPARATELY)
If a suitable wall or post are not available it is recommended that a
Powersafe garden power spike is purchased (see Spares/Accessories).
This allows for convenient and safe placement of all of the Powersafe
range of switch and socket boxes. It is also ideal for installations away
from a wall, as it prevents damage from splashing and flooding whilst
conforming to electrical safety standards recommended 30cm minimum
ground clearance for outdoor power installations.
IMPORTANT:
THAT THE PRODUCT IS BOTH WEATHERPROOF AND SAFE TO USE.
WARNING:
known as the Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB),
with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA must be
installed in the supply circuit. A means of disconnection
from the supply having a contact separation of at least
3mm in all poles must be incorporated in the wiring.
