Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC Multi-Standard Socket, please consider the following expert advice.

• CRITICAL: MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN: This is a mains-voltage socket outlet. Installation must be carried out by a certified electrician to ensure safety, correct wiring, and compliance with all electrical regulations (SANS 10142-1).
• Understanding the Sockets: This unit includes the traditional South African 3-pin socket, the common 2-pin Europlug, and the Schuko (Type F) socket widely used in Germany and across Europe. The Europlug will fit into the Schuko socket.
• Switched vs. Unswitched: Note that only the main RSA (South African) socket is controlled by the switch. The Europlug and Schuko sockets are permanently live when the circuit is on.
• USB Charging Speed: The 2.0A USB port provides a standard charging speed suitable for most smartphones and devices. It may not support the proprietary "fast charging" or "super charging" protocols of some newer high-end devices.
• Wall Box Depth: Due to the additional electronics for the USB power supply, this socket may be deeper than a standard outlet. Your electrician should ensure that the wall box is of sufficient depth to accommodate the unit and its wiring without strain.
