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

2a. Replacing An Existing Socket (Removal)

1. Unscrew the socket from the wall/mounting box.
2. Note the cable connections: There will generally be three different wiring configurations, this illustration shows a single wire of each colour connected to each terminal (there could be two or three wires of each colour connected to each terminal) + an additional connection between the mounting box earth terminal and the socket earth terminal.

2. Select the most suitable entry point of the mounting box (knock-out) and route the supply cable through.

3. Wire Up Your Socket

1. Line up the new socket to mounting box and take note of where each terminal is located.
2. Connect each wire to the matching terminal. (Refer to key in step 2). An earth connection should always be made between the mounting box earth terminal and the socket earth terminal. Make sure no copper wire is exposed & that only the bare end enters the terminal.
3. Tighten terminal screws securely. (Do not over tighten).

4. Complete The Installation

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 set screw covers in place (optional).

2. Once the installation has been completed correctly, replace the fuse for the circuit, switch the power back on at the consumer unit and test.

5. 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.

Getting the Most out of your BG Home Sockets
Smart socket s do more than enable you to turn sockets on and off with an App – you can set timers, configure scenes, set a parental lock, control these with your voice and sync up with other smart devices in your home using IFTTT

Device Menu Screen

Setting Timers
Set up timers so your device will turn on and off at specific times. Save energy by turning sockets off whilst you’re at work, turn the lamp on or off at a certain time of day, or set the slow cooker to come on at lunch time so your food is ready to eat when you get home!

Set a Delay
Set a delay time for your sockets to turn on or off after a set length of time. Ideal for sockets where you plug in devices like hair straighteners or heaters for added safety, and for charging your mobile phone so this turns off once it has reached a full charge.
Creating Scenes
You can add many different scenes to suit your lifestyle to further automate your sockets. You may want a number of sockets to turn on or off together without having to operate them all independently. You could set a night-time scene so all lamps turn off and your bedside socket turns on ready to charge your phone, create a ‘goodbye’ scene for when the house is empty or a ‘welcome home’ scene so everything is just how you want it when you get home. GO to the ‘Scenes’ menu on the bottom of the Home screen, select + from the top left corner of the
scenes screen and create your custom scene .
Manage Homes
If you have more than one property with smart sockets installed, be it home or office, you can create a separate ‘home’ for each of these and manage these through the ‘Me’ menu. Other homes that you have been invited to will also appear in this menu. You can switch between properties in the BG Home App control screen by clicking on the home name at the top of the screen, and switching to the home you want to manage

Random Function
Turn lamps on and off at random times to imitate home occupancy when you’re away for added security.
Invite others to join your home
You may want other members of your household to be able to operate sockets with their own phone or tablet. No problem! You can invite a new member from the BG App Home screen by pressing the + icon at the top of the screen.
Set a Parental Lock
The parental lock allows you to de-activate the active buttons so these cannot be turned on or off at the wall, and prevent members that you have invited within the app from turning sockets on or off, or changing any of your set timers or scenes. This is ideal for sockets which you want to behave in a routine way, and to prevent children turning devices on and off when you don’t want them to.
To turn on the parental lock, select ‘function set’ from the … menu, and toggle the parental lock on or off as required.

Care

To maintain the high quality appearance of sockets, BG Electrical recommend the use of a soft cloth periodically to clean the front face
