5. Setup and Installation

Important: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations.

1. Power Disconnection: Locate the consumer unit/fuse box for the circuit where the socket will be installed. Turn off the main power supply to prevent electric shock. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is completely off at the installation point.
2. Prepare the Installation Area: If replacing an existing socket, carefully remove its cover plate and disconnect the old wiring. If installing a new socket, ensure a suitable wall box (flush or surface mounted) is correctly installed and secured, with appropriate cable entry.
3. Wire Connection:
   • Identify the Live (brown or red), Neutral (blue or black), and Earth (green/yellow) wires.
   • Strip approximately 10-12mm of insulation from each wire end.
   • Connect the wires to the corresponding terminals on the back of the Legrand 091333 socket. The terminals are typically marked:
     • L for Live
     • N for Neutral
     • ⌂ for Earth (ground)
     Ensure connections are tight and no bare wire is exposed outside the terminals. The socket features automatic terminals for easy, screw-less connection, or can be secured with screws if applicable.
4. Mounting the Socket: Carefully push the wired socket back into the wall box. Secure the socket to the wall box using the provided screws or by engaging the mounting hooks. Ensure the socket is flush with the wall and level.
5. Attach Faceplate: Secure the white faceplate onto the socket mechanism.
6. Restore Power: Once the installation is complete and all connections are checked, restore the main power supply at the consumer unit/fuse box.
7. Test: Test the socket with a suitable appliance to ensure it is functioning correctly.
