4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and performance of the socket. Refer to the dimensions provided in the specifications section for precise mounting.
- Power Disconnection: Before starting any installation, ensure that the power supply to the vehicle or system is completely turned off and secured against accidental re-energization.
- Location Selection: Choose a suitable, flat, and secure mounting location that is easily accessible for connection but protected from physical damage.
- Mounting Preparation: Based on the socket's dimensions (refer to Figure 3), mark and cut the necessary opening in the mounting panel. Ensure the opening is clean and free of burrs.
- Socket Mounting: Insert the socket into the prepared opening. Secure it firmly using appropriate screws through the mounting holes. Do not overtighten.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the power and auxiliary wires to the corresponding terminals on the back of the socket. Ensure correct polarity (positive, negative, ground, and auxiliary signals for 2+4/2+6 types). Use appropriate wire gauges for the expected current load. All connections must be tight and secure.
- Final Check: Double-check all connections for security and correctness. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the system.

5. Operating Instructions
Using the DIVEDEER Electric Vehicle Power Socket is straightforward:
- Connecting: Align the plug of your charger or device with the socket and insert it firmly until it is fully seated.
- Disconnecting: When charging or power transfer is complete, firmly pull the plug straight out from the socket. Do not yank by the cable.
- Waterproof Cover: Always ensure the waterproof cover is securely closed and latched when the socket is not in use. This protects the internal contacts from water, dust, and debris.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your power socket.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the socket contacts and the interior of the waterproof cover with a dry, lint-free cloth. Ensure no moisture or foreign objects are present.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the socket for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or wear. Check the waterproof cover for cracks or tears that could compromise its sealing ability.
- Connection Check: Occasionally check the tightness of the mounting screws and wiring connections, especially if the vehicle experiences vibrations.
- Cover Integrity: Ensure the cover buckle mechanism is functioning correctly and provides a tight seal when closed. Replace the cover if it is damaged or no longer seals effectively.
7. Troubleshooting
