Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC RSA + EUR 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) and the modern, smaller 3-pin socket (SANS 164-2, also known as Type N). The smaller socket is also compatible with standard 2-pin Europlugs.
• 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, especially if it is an imported device.
• Wall Box Depth: Your electrician should ensure that the wall box is of sufficient depth to accommodate the unit and its wiring without strain.
• Cleaning: To clean the socket, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents. Always ensure the switches are off before cleaning.
