5. Installation Instructions

The Legrand Neptune Double Socket is designed for quick and easy installation. It comes as a complete block with a hubcap and mounting bracket.

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the electrical box or mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from obstructions. Confirm that the power supply to the circuit is OFF at the main breaker.
2. Identify Wiring: Identify the live (L), neutral (N), and earth (E) wires from the electrical supply.
3. Connect Wires: The socket is pre-wired internally, requiring only a single connection point for each supply wire. Utilize the automatic clamps for tool-free connection. Insert the stripped ends of the supply wires into the corresponding terminals (L, N, E) on the back of the socket until they are securely fastened. Ensure no bare wire strands are exposed outside the terminals.
4. Mount the Socket: Position the socket assembly into the electrical box or onto the mounting surface. Secure it using the provided screws through the mounting bracket. Ensure the socket is level and flush with the wall.
5. Attach the Faceplate: Once the socket is securely mounted, snap or screw the decorative faceplate (hubcap) into place.
6. Restore Power: Turn the power supply back ON at the main circuit breaker. Test the functionality of both outlets using a suitable electrical appliance.

Note: The pre-wired design means only one set of supply wires is needed to power both outlets, simplifying the wiring process.

6. Operating Instructions

To use the Legrand Neptune Double Socket:

• Ensure the socket is correctly installed and powered.
• Insert the plug of your electrical appliance firmly into one of the two outlets. The integrated children's safety shutters will open only when a plug is inserted correctly.
• To remove the plug, pull it straight out from the socket. Do not pull by the cord.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and safe operation of your double socket.

• Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture.
• Inspection: Periodically check the socket for any signs of damage, such as cracks, discoloration, or loose connections. If any damage is observed, disconnect power immediately and have the unit inspected and replaced by a qualified professional.
• No User-Serviceable Parts: The internal components of the socket are not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Legrand Neptune Double Socket, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check the main circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure the circuit is active. Verify that the socket is correctly wired and all connections are secure (only perform if qualified and power is off).
• Loose Plug: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the socket. If the plug feels excessively loose, the socket may be worn and require replacement.
• Overheating: If the socket feels warm to the touch, immediately disconnect all appliances and turn off power. This could indicate an overload or faulty wiring. Consult a qualified electrician.

For persistent issues, contact Legrand customer support or a qualified electrician.
