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 (SANS 164-1), the Schuko (Type F) socket widely used in Germany and across Europe, and the 3-pin socket (Type N) used in Brazil and Switzerland (which is also designated as SANS 164-4 in South Africa).
• Switched vs. Unswitched: Note that only the main RSA (South African) socket is controlled by the switch. The Schuko and Type N sockets are permanently live when the circuit is on.
• Check Appliance Compatibility: While this socket accommodates many plug types, always ensure the appliance itself is rated for 230V/240V operation before plugging it in.
• Wall Box Depth: Your electrician should ensure that the wall box is of sufficient depth to accommodate the unit and its wiring without strain.
