13A Socket with USB Charger
Wiring Instructions
Before commencing work always isolate the power at the consumer unit
/ fuse box.
*Note – If your installation uses a four-lug metal mounting box, remove the
top and bottom lugs or bend fully back.
2a. Replacing an existing accessory
1. Unscrew the accessory from the wall/mounting box.
2. Note the cable connections:
The illustration shows 1 wire of each colour connected to each terminal.
There should be an additional connection between the mounting box earth
terminal and the accessory earth terminal.
3. Unscrew each terminal to release the wire.
1. Install mounting box (metal or moulded) for either flush or surface
mounting, ensuring appropriate size of product (Mounting box to be
purchased separately).
2. Select the most suitable entry point of the mounting box (knock-out) and
route the cables through.
If a metal box is used, a cable grommet should be fitted to the entry point.
3. Cables should be prepared so a sufficient conductor length reaches the
terminals.
Strip the ends of the individual conductors leaving an adequate length bare
to enter terminals.
1. Line up the new accessory to mounting box and take note of where each
terminal is located.
2. Connect each wire to the matching terminal.
An earth connection should always be made between the mounting box
earth terminal and the accessory earth terminal, where fitted.
All bare earth wires must be sheathed with green/yellow sleeving.
When connecting the new accessory ensure that only the bare end of the
wire enters the terminal and no bare wi
3. Tighten terminal screws securely. (Do not over tighten)
4. This socket is fitted with two linked terminals to provide a dual earth facility. This is for use in “clean” installations where additional earth capacity
is required to comply with Regulation 607 IEE Wiring Regulations.
4. Complete Installation & Test
1. Carefully position the accessory into the mounting box, ensuring that no
wires are trapped between the plate and the wall and secure with screws
(do not over tighten) then insert screw covers (optional).
2. Once the installation has been completed correctly, replace the fuse/
reset MCB (trip), switch the power back on at the consumer unit and test.
This socket outlet is designed to withstand insulation resistance testing at
500V as defined by BS1363-2.
Perform insulation test between Line & Neutral at 250V.
500V test may be performed between Line & Earth, Neutral & Earth.
Or,
Disconnect all Neutral connection in the socket and connect into terminal
block before replacing the socket prior to test.

Safety Warning
For your safety, this product must be installed in accordance with local
Building Regulations. If in any doubt, or where required by the law, con-
sult a competent person who is registered with an electrical self-certification scheme. Further information is available online or from your Local
Authority.
Please read carefully and use in accordance with these safety wiring
instructions. Before commencing any electrical work ensure the supply is
switched off at the mains. Either by switching off the consumer unit or by
removing the appropriate fuse or turning off MCB (trip). Wiring should be in
accordance with the latest edition of the IET regulations (BS 7671).
To prevent fire hazard always use cable of the correct rating & type for the
application.
Warning do not exceed the load rating of this device as stated on the rear
of the product.

were introduced.
EARTH = Green/Yellow Sleeving
NEUTRAL = Black (pre Apr 04) / Blue (after Apr 04)

Additional Advice for Decorative Products Technical
Fixing method varies depending on which product range is supplied.
Always ensure wall surface is reasonably flat and smooth, with no bumps
or projections. Metal frontplates WITH screw fixing holes, fix the unit to
the back box using two fixing screws supplied. All Decorative products
MUST have an earth connection between the frontplate and back box.
Frontplates WITHOUT screw fixing holes. These products comprise main
unit with integral gasket, and frontplate as separate item. Fix unit to
back box using two fixing screws supplied. Clip frontplate onto main
assembly, ensuring screwdriver notch is located bottom right hand
corner.
To remove plate, place medium size flat bladed screwdriver in notch and
lever off against gasket.
USB Charger Information
13A sockets with USB charging ports for charging mobile devices such as
mobile phones, MP3 players and tablets.
Total charger current can be delivered from one USB socket or divided
between outputs as required.
For a 2.1A output charger, if a device needing 1.5A would leave the other
port at 0.6A, so devices may charge more slowly than with a normal single
plug charging.
The speed of charging will depend on the battery capacity of the device
and not charge output of the socket. A device with a battery capacity of
1500mAh will not charge any faster with a 3.1A charger compared to a 2.1A
charger.
The total output current achieved is dictated by the specific device being
charged and other external factors, such as the quality of charging cable
being used.
Overload protection for connected devices.
Low energy stand-by mode
When not in use the USB sockets are in a low energy stand-by mode.
The usb circuits in this socket are designed to withstand insulation resistance tests at 500V. A reading of 10MΩ minimum is typically achieved by the
USB socket.
Voltage : 220-240V ac
Frequency : 50/60Hz
Rating : 13A
Terminal capacity : 3 x 2.5mm² 3 x 4mm² 2 x 6.0mm²
Min box depth (profiled plates) : 25mm
Min box depth (flat plates) : 35mm or 25mm with spacer provided.
Note - The front surface of this product may become warm in use. This is
normal and not cause for concern.
ASTA Approved
The ASTA quality mark is evidence that the product has been
independently tested to comply with the relevant clauses of the
applicable standards.
Care
To maintain the high quality appearance of decorative finish switches and
sockets, BG Electrical recommend the use of a soft cloth periodically to
clean the front face. When installing a decorative product please ensure
that the wall is decorated, finished and free of moisture prior to installa-
tion.
BG Electrical recommends avoiding using, but not restricted to, these
substances from becoming in contact with the decorative metal front-plates
when cleaning or decorating:
• Adhesive tape, including low tack masking tape
• Solvents
• White spirit
• Multi surface cleaners
• Industrial multipurpose cleaning wipes
• Wet wipes
Using items like those listed above may cause a degrading effect to
the front-plates lacquer/plated finish, although the function will remain
unaffected.
