** Note – As from 1st April 2004 new colour codes for hard wire installations were introduced.
EARTH = Green/Yellow Sleeving
NEUTRAL = Black (pre Apr 04) / Blue (after Apr 04)

LIVE** = Red (pre Apr 04) / Brown (after Apr 04)

If installed correctly BG Electrical Weatherproof products provide an IP66 level of protection, this means that the sealed construction provides a very high level of protection against the ingress of both water & dust. The cover will seal regular sized plugs, however the cover must be closed and secured when in use to provide the IP rating protection. Do not allow water to enter the socket with the cover open.

Environmental Protection

This symbol is known as the “Crossed-out Wheelie Bin Symbol”. When this symbol is marked on a product or battery, it means that it should not be disposed of with your general household
harmful to health and the environment. Only dispose of electrical/electronic/battery items in separate collection schemes, which cater for the recovery and recycling of materials contained within. Your co- operation is vital to ensure the success of these schemes and for the protection of the environment.

Installation Instructions

Before commencing work always isolate the power at the consumer unit/fuse box.

The unit should be mounted on a clean, rigid vertical surface suitable to accept screw type Surface should be reasonably flat as unevenness could cause product damage or affect operation.
Product Overview Before installation ensure the socket location has adequate WiFi coverage.
Remove Front assembly from RearFor cable entry, decide if conduit is being used & entry
For side, top or rear entry the lowermost drain hole position MUST be drilled out using a 5mm drill. ONLY ONE drain hole position must be drilled.
For bottom entry a drain hole MUST NOT be drilled in Rear Box, but a drain hole MUST be drilled at lowermost point of conduit run.
For rear entry, drill/cut the appropriate size hole. For extra sealing protection, channels around knock-out and fixing holes are provided to accept a bead of sealant (not supplied) when fixing to mounting surface.
Note – The drilling of the drain hole or removing a knock-out will reduce the IP rating of the product. over all used fixing screw positions to seal aperture recesses.
Make cable entry into rear box as required. Only remove the blanking plugs for positions used. Ensure adequate excess lengths of cable for connection to the Socket. Install & seal all cable glands & conduit to Manufacturer’s
To install, remove the blanking plug from rear box, and fit gland or conduit. Ensure the gland or conduit and cable entry are sealed with a non-setting sealant.
Offer up Front Assembly to Rear Box to determine final lengths of cables & cut to suit. Strip outer insulation as required & then trim insulation on individual wires 10-12mm to expose conductor ends

Connect the wires to the correct rear terminals. Connect LIVE wire to BROWN LIVE (L) terminal Connect NEUTRAL wire to BLUE NEUTRAL (N) terminal Connect EARTH wire to GREEN/YELLOW (E) terminal

NOTE

The colours of the wires will be dependent on the type of cable
It is possible to remove the socket from the Front Assembly to aid wiring by releasing the retaining clips on the

Tighten terminal screws securely (Do not over tighten).

Wiring Diagram

FROM SUPPLY

Any earth connections MUST be made & continuity maintained. All bare earth wires must be sheathed with green/yellow Note – the sockets have two linked earth terminals but only one needs to be used for the installation.

Insulation Testing

10. After wiring Socket, refit Front Assembly to Rear Box, secure using the quick fix fasteners. Turn 150°
clockwise with a suitable flat bladed screwdriver to tighten, from 0 to I – DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Once the installation has been completed correctly, replace the fuse/reset MCB (trip), switch the power back on at the consumer unit and

Positioning Your Wi-Fi Socket

Your Wi-Fi socket should be positioned half way between your router and the Wi-Fi dead-zone use the signal strength indicator on your mobile device to determine the mid-signal point

Your Wi-Fi socket should be positioned half way between your router and the Wi-Fi dead-zone use the signal strength indicator on your mobile device to determine the mid-signal point
Choose a location away from Bluetooth devices and other household electronics (cordless phone, microwave oven, baby monitor, etc.) to minimise signal interference.

Safety Instructions

Please read carefully before installation. An outdoor location should be chosen ensuring adequate access to a mains supply circuit. The circuit

MUST be protected by an appropriate fuse, circuit breaker or RCD (Residual Current Device) in accordance with current IET wiring regulations.

Where conduit is used for cable runs, water condensation MUST be prevented from collecting inside the unit & Drain holes MUST be drilled out (see Installation Instructions)
If metal conduit is used, earth continuity across the conduit must be maintained using appropriate connections (not supplied). An earth terminal in the Rear Box is provided as
Where outdoor cable runs occur, ensure cable recommended for outdoor installations is used. In general, rubber insulated cable & plastic M20 cable glands can be Alternatively standard flat PVC twin & earth mains cable inside 20mm plastic or metal conduit may be used. Where necessary, SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) cable with metal cable glands should be used.

The outdoor use of unprotected flat PVC insulated cable is NOT recommended.

Insulation Testing

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.
