Product Specifications

Trinity Range Integration

This highly functional 4x2 socket is designed to perfectly match the aesthetic of the entire Trinity range. It can be installed alongside Trinity light switches and other devices to create a complete, visually consistent wiring solution.

Ideal Use

This versatile socket is the ideal choice for any location where space is at a premium but connectivity for both old and new plug types is required.

• Bedside Tables: The perfect single-outlet solution for a switched bedside lamp (RSA) and an always-on phone charger (ZA).
• Home Office Desks: Ideal for powering a lamp (switched RSA) and a laptop or other device charger (unswitched ZA).
• Kitchen Counters: A great space-saver for powering a small appliance on the switched socket while keeping a charger or digital display powered on the ZA socket.
• Living Room Media Points: Use behind a TV cabinet for a switched outlet for a lamp and an unswitched outlet for a media player.
• Renovation Upgrades: The smartest and easiest way to upgrade a single socket outlet to provide dual-standard, future-proof connectivity.

Tips

• Understand the Switching Logic: It is crucial to remember that only the large, triangular RSA socket is controlled by the switch. The smaller, compact ZA socket is "always on" and is not affected by the switch.
• Plug Compatibility: The switched socket accepts the large, old-style SANS 164-1 plug. The unswitched socket accepts the new, compact SANS 164-2 plug. They are not interchangeable.
• Direct Replacement: This unit is designed to fit into a standard 4x2 wall box, making it a direct replacement for most standard single socket outlets.
• Safety First: Always ensure that the power supply to the circuit is completely turned off at the main distribution board before beginning any installation work.
• Level Installation: For the best visual result, use a spirit level during installation to ensure the socket is mounted perfectly horizontally.
