b) Connection and operation
• The radio controlled switch socket is designed in accordance with protection
class I. Only a standard mains socket with protective earth for the public supply
grid may be used as the power source for the radio controlled switch socket.
• The mains socket into which the radio controlled switch socket is inserted must
be easily accessible.
• The radio-controlled switch socket is equipped with a child-proof lock. Only when
the pins of the power plug are placed in both openings of the front socket at the
same time will the child-proof lock mechanism release the opening.
Nevertheless, take special caution when children are around. Children cannot rec-
ognise the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical devices. There is a
risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• The radio controlled switch socket is protected according to IP44; it can be used
outdoors. It is essential, however, to ensure the correct operating position (see
chapter "Start up").
• Do not block the cover over the outlet. Allow the cover to close automatically and
completely by means of the integrated springs when not in use.
• If devices, connection or extension cables are to be kept outdoors (lamps, water
pumps, etc.), they must be suitable for outdoor use.
• Never use the radio controlled switch socket in or under water, there is a danger
of a fatal electric shock!
• Although the radio controlled switch socket is suitable for outdoor use, you must
never aim the water jet of a garden irrigation system or a pressure washer at the
radio controlled switch socket.
• Never touch, operate, plug in or unplug the radio controlled switch socket with
damp or wet hands. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock! The same
applies for the load that is plugged into the socket of the product, the plug must
not be damp or wet.
• When it is raining/snowing do not open the cover of the radio controlled switch
socket, do not connect or disconnect any device. There is a risk of fatal electric
shock!
• If any liquid has still managed to enter the device, immediately turn off the power
supply to the mains socket at which the radio controlled switch socket is connect-
ed (turn off the fuse/circuit breaker/residual current operated circuit breaker of the
associated circuits). Only then can you unplug the radio-controlled switch socket
from the mains socket and contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer.
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
• Do not operate the device in environments where there are high levels of dust,
flammable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
• Do not connect the radio controlled switch socket to the power supply immedi-
ately after it has been transferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during
transport). The condensation that forms might damage the radio controlled switch
socket. Moreover, there is danger of electric shock! Allow the product to reach
room temperature. Wait until the condensation has evaporated. This might take
several hours. Only then can the product be connected and put into operation.
• Never use the product in a vehicle.
• Never pull out the power plug from the front socket of the radio controlled switch
socket by pulling on its cable. Always pull the plug out of the front socket by grip-
ping the area provided for this purpose on its sides.
• Do not overload the radio controlled switch socket. Observe the power rating in
the chapter "Technical Data".
• Always pull the radio controlled switch socket out of the mains socket before
cleaning it or when the device will not be in use for a long time.
• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overload of the radio-controlled
switch socket! There is a risk of fire!
• Do not operate while covered! At higher connected loads, the radio-controlled
switch socket becomes warm, which can lead to overheating and potentially a
fire if covered!
• Voltage-free only, if the plug is unplugged!
• Never touch a radio controlled switch socket that shows signs of damage, as this
could cause a fatal electric shock!
