Setup and Installation

Installation of the Gewiss GW62535 CEE Wall Socket requires adherence to local electrical codes and safety regulations. It must be installed by a qualified electrician.

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the power supply is completely disconnected.
   • Gather necessary tools: screwdriver set, wire strippers, crimping tool (if required), mounting hardware, drill.
   • Select a suitable mounting location that is flat, stable, and protected from excessive mechanical stress.
2. Mounting the Socket:
   • Open the socket housing by unscrewing the retaining screws.
   • Position the socket base on the chosen wall surface.
   • Mark the drilling points for the mounting screws.
   • Drill pilot holes if necessary and secure the socket base firmly to the wall using appropriate screws and anchors.
3. Wiring Connections:
   • Route the power cable into the socket housing through the designated cable entry point. Ensure the cable gland provides a secure, watertight seal to maintain the IP67 rating.
   • Strip the outer sheath and individual wire insulation to the appropriate lengths.
   • Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals:
     • L1, L2, L3: Phase conductors (typically brown, black, grey).
     • N: Neutral conductor (typically blue).
     • PE (Earth): Protective Earth conductor (green/yellow).
   • Ensure all terminal screws are tightened securely to prevent loose connections and overheating.
4. Final Assembly:
   • Verify all connections are correct and secure.
   • Close the socket housing, ensuring the gasket is properly seated to maintain the IP67 seal.
   • Tighten the retaining screws evenly.
5. Testing:
   • Before restoring power, perform continuity and insulation resistance tests as per local regulations.
   • Restore power and test the socket with a suitable load.

Operating Instructions

The Gewiss GW62535 CEE Wall Socket is designed for straightforward operation with compatible CEE plugs.

1. Connecting a Plug:
   • Ensure the plug is clean and free from debris.
   • Align the keyway on the plug with the corresponding keyway on the socket.
   • Insert the plug firmly into the socket until it clicks or is fully seated.
   • For some plugs, a locking ring may need to be twisted to secure the connection.
2. Disconnecting a Plug:
   • If a locking ring is present, twist it to unlock the plug.
   • Grasp the plug body firmly and pull it straight out of the socket. Do not pull by the cable.
   • Avoid disconnecting under load if possible, especially with high-current applications, to prevent arcing and wear.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Gewiss GW62535 CEE Wall Socket.

• Periodic Inspection: Visually inspect the socket regularly for any signs of damage, cracks, discoloration, or loose parts. Check the cable entry for secure sealing.
• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the socket with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic. Ensure the socket is dry before use.
• Terminal Check: Periodically (e.g., annually or as per site requirements), with power disconnected, open the housing and check that all terminal screws are tight. Loose connections can cause overheating and fire hazards.
• Gasket Integrity: Ensure the sealing gasket between the housing parts is intact and properly seated to maintain the IP67 rating. Replace if damaged.
