Replacing an existing socket (removal)
1. Unscrew the socket from the wall/mounting box.
2. Note the cable connections: There will generally be
three different wiring configurations, this illustration
shows a single wire of each colour connected to each
terminal (there could be two or three wires of each
colour connected to each terminal) + an additional
connection between the mounting box earth terminal
and the socket earth terminal.
3. Unscrew each terminal to release the wires.

New installation
1. Install the mounting box (metal or patress) for either flush or
surface mounting, ensuring appropriate size of product. (mounting box
to be purchased separately)
2. Select the most suitable entry point of the mounting box (knock-out)
and route the supply cable through.
3. Cables should be prepared so a sufficient conductor length reaches
the terminals. Strip the ends of the individual conductors leaving an
adequate length bare to enter terminals.

where each terminal is located.
2. Connect each wire to the matching terminal. (refer to key in
step 2)
An earth connection should always be made between the
mounting box earth terminal and the socket earth terminal.
Make sure no copper wire is exposed & that only the bare end
enters the terminal.
3. Tighten terminal screws securely. (do not over tighten)

2.1 A USB port for charging mobile devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players and tablets.
2.1A 5V output from the USB output
• 2.1 A is sufficient power output to charge the majority of USB products.
• The total output current achieved is dictated by specific device being charged and other external factors,
such as the quality of charging cable being used.
• Overload protection for connected devices.
Low energy stand-by mode
• When not in use the USB socket is in a low energy stand-by mode.
The USB circuits on this socket are designed to withstand insulation resistance tests at 500V.A reading of
0.4 +/-0.05 is typically caused by the USB socket
Note - The front surface of this product may become warm in use. This is normal and not cause for concern.

Additional Advice for Decorative Products
Fixing method varies depending on which product range is supplied. Always ensure wall surface is
reasonably flat and smooth, with no bumps or projections. Metal frontplates WITH screw fixing holes, fix the
unit to the back box using two fixing screws supplied. All Decorative products MUST have an earth
connection between the frontplate and back box. Frontplates WITHOUT screw fixing holes. These products
comprise main unit with integral gasket, and frontplate as separate item. Fix unit to back box using two
fixing screws supplied. Clip frontplate onto main assembly, ensuring screwdriver notch is located bottom
right hand corner.
To remove plate, place medium size flat bladed screwdriver in notch and lever off against gasket.
To maintain the high quality appearance of decorative finish switches and sockets, BG Electrical recommend
the use of a soft cloth periodically to clean the front face. When installing a decorative product please ensure
that the wall is decorated, finished and free of moisture prior to installation.
BG Electrical recommends avoiding using, but not restricted to, these substances from becoming in contact
with the decorative metal front-plates when cleaning or decorating:
• Adhesive tape, including low tack masking tape
• Solvents
• White spirit
• Multi surface cleaners
• Industrial multipurpose cleaning wipes
• Wet wipes
Using items like those listed above may cause a degrading effect to the front-plates lacquer/plated finish,
although the function will remain unaffected.
