4. Setup & Installation

This section details the steps for installing your Legrand Double Pre-wired Socket. Ensure all safety precautions are followed before beginning.

4.1. Tools Required

• Screwdriver (appropriate size for terminals and mounting screws)
• Wire strippers
• Drill (for mounting, if necessary)
• Spirit level
• Pencil

4.2. Mounting the Socket

1. Disconnect Power: Turn off the power supply at the main circuit breaker to the circuit where the socket will be installed. Verify with a voltage tester.
2. Positioning: Choose a suitable location for surface mounting. Mark the drilling points for the mounting screws using the socket base as a template.
3. Drill Holes: Drill pilot holes if required, ensuring they are appropriate for your mounting surface and screws.
4. Secure Base: Attach the socket base securely to the wall or surface using appropriate screws. Ensure it is level.

4.3. Wiring Connections

The Legrand Double Socket is pre-wired, simplifying the connection process. You will connect the main power supply to the designated terminals.

1. Prepare Cables: Route the electrical cables to the socket location. Strip the outer sheath and insulation from the individual conductors (Phase, Neutral, Earth) to the length specified in the product documentation or by the terminal design. Note: Some users recommend a slightly longer stripping length for these terminals compared to standard Wago connectors.
2. Connect Wires:
   • Connect the Phase (Live) wire to the 'L' terminal.
   • Connect the Neutral wire to the 'N' terminal.
   • Connect the Earth (Ground) wire to the 'PE' or Earth symbol terminal.
   Ensure all wires are fully inserted and securely clamped in their respective terminals.
3. Seal Entry Points: Ensure cable entry points are properly sealed to maintain the IP55 rating.
4. Close Cover: Carefully close the front cover of the socket, ensuring no wires are pinched. Secure it with the provided screws.
5. Restore Power: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power at the main circuit breaker.

5. Operating Instructions

Operating the Legrand Double Pre-wired Socket is straightforward.

1. Open Cover: Lift the protective cover of the desired socket.
2. Insert Plug: Insert the plug of your electrical appliance into the socket. Ensure it is fully seated.
3. Close Cover (Optional): For continued IP55 protection, ensure the protective cover is closed when no plug is inserted or when the plug is inserted and the cover can still close around the cable (if designed for this). The "Schieber" (slider) mechanism helps maintain tightness when a plug is connected.
4. Remove Plug: To disconnect, firmly pull the plug from the socket.

Note: Always ensure the appliance connected does not exceed the socket's maximum rating of 16A, 250V~.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Legrand socket.

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the socket with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the protective covers are free from dirt and debris to maintain proper sealing.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the socket for any signs of damage, such as cracks, discoloration, or loose components. Check the integrity of the seals and cable glands.
• Connection Check: If accessible and safe to do so (with power disconnected), periodically check the tightness of the terminal connections.
• Environmental Protection: Ensure the protective covers are closed when the socket is not in use to maintain its IP55 rating against dust and water.
