6.0 CONNECTING TO YOUR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE

6.1 Connecting instructions

Risk of injury even to the point of death from electric shock!

Touching live electrical parts can lead to electric shock.

▶ Do not open the product.
▶ Do not use the product if has visible signs of damage

(e.g. on the housing or on the controls).

22 23

Prevailing regulations must be observed when connecting the product.
Failure to comply with the regulations can lead to material damage
and/or physical injury even to the point of death.

Please take the Technical Data (in particular the ma ximum permissible
switching capacity of the relay and the type of load to be connected)
into account before connecting a load! All load data relates to resistive
loads! Do not exceed the capacity specified for the device. Exceeding
this capacity could lead to the destruction of the device, to a fire or to an
electrical accident. The reliable switching off of the connected device is
not guaranteed anymore.

Ensure the smar t plug is
not damaged do not plug
into socket if the casing
is damaged in any way.

▶ Connect the plug to an accessible,

grounded wall socket. In the event
of danger, pull the device out of the
mains socket.

24 25

▶ Do not insert plugs in a row. ▶ Do not use plugs in multiple socket

outlets or with extension leads.

6.2 Connecting process

▶ Do not use plugs to disconnect appli-

ances from the mains. The load is not
galvanically isolated from the mains.

▶ Devices with electronic power supply

units (e.g. TV or high voltage LED light
sources) are no ohmic loads. They
can generate inrush currents with
more than 100 A. Switching such kind

▶ Do not connect any appliances

which could cause fire or other
damage if switched on inadvertently
(e.g. irons).

26 27

of loads may lead to premature wear
of the actuator. In consequence the
reliable switching off of the connected
device is not guaranteed anymore.

Insert the plug into the socket.
The plug is now ready to use.

You can now plug in the required
electrical appliance.
