Installation
Electric connection and installation
The device is installed on a flush-mounted socket (BS
4662 or BS 5733). The connection wire is either routed
out of the flush-mounted socket or it is routed to the
device on the wall.
In general, the following instructions apply to
both installation types. Where there are difference, the corresponding installation type is
specified before the instructions.

• 3.5 mm screws
Prerequisite:
• The terminals for the flexible wires must have a
cross-section between 1 mm² and 2.5 mm².
• Make sure that the flush-mounted socket has been
installed correctly and is dust-free.
1. On-wall connection wires: Undo the strain relief
screws (Fig. 2/4) on the rear of the device and place
to one side.
2. Remove the plastic cover.
3. Strip the insulation from the connection wire.
• Stripping length: 8 mm

NOTICE!
Tightening torques
To avoid damage and faulty contacts,
tighten the terminals using a torque of
0.6 Nm.
Tighten all the terminals.
6. On-wall connection wires: Thread the connection
wires into the device through the cable feed-through
(Fig. 2/3).
7. On-wall connection wires: Tighten the strain relief
clamp from the contents using the screws for the
strain relief clamp (Fig. 2/4).
26

NOTICE!
Danger of material damage to the wires!
When screwing the device tight, there is a risk
of pinching wires. This results in material
damage to the wires.
− To avoid damage and faulty contacts,
make sure that the wires are not pinched
when you insert the device into the flushmounted socket.
8. Fasten the device onto the flush-mounted socket
using the screws (3.5 mm).
