Renkforce Switchable socket outlet-adapter White IP20 1173536 User Manual

A load connected to this product can be turned on or off using a rocker switch. This allows for conveniently turning 

on/off loads that are not equipped with a mains switch. You will further be able save unnecessary energy costs 

(depending on the load connected) caused by standby operation.
The plug-in socket must be connected to a socket with protective earth contact and requires a mains voltage of 

230 V/AC, 50 Hz.
The socket of the product can connect a load with a power input of up to 3500 W.
The product may be used in dry, closed indoor spaces only.
The safety instructions of these operating instructions must be followed without fail. Read the operating instruc-

tions carefully and keep them safe or hand them over to other users of the plug-in socket.
Any other than the intended use described above might result in product damage and furthermore cause hazards 

such as electric shock. The product as a whole must not be modified or altered! 
This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. All company names and product

•  Plug-in socket
•  Operating instructions

  The symbol with the flash in a triangle indicates a risk to your health, e.g. from electric shock.

  This symbol informs you about specific risks when handling, operating or using the product. 

  The “arrow” symbol indicates special remarks and notes for operation.

  The product may be used in dry, closed indoor spaces only. It must not get damp or wet.

•  Unauthorized modifications and/or alterations to the product are not permitted due to safety and

approval reasons (CE). Do not open/dismantle it! 

•  The product features a class I design. It may only be connected to and operated by a socket with

protective earth contact (e.g. wall socket).

•  This product is not a toy, keep it out of the reach of children. Install the product in such a way that

children cannot reach it.

•  The plug-in socket is equipped with a child lock.

 Only  when  the  two  pins  of  a  mains  plug  are  simultaneously  inserted  into  both  openings  of  the

socket on front of the plug-in socket will the built-in mechanism release the openings.

 

  Still exercise caution when using the product in the vicinity of children. Children cannot recognize 

the hazards posed by improperly using the device. This poses a risk of fatal injury due to electric 

shock!

•  Do  not  leave  packaging  materials  lying  about,  they  may  become  a  dangerous  plaything  in  the

hands of children.

•  Handle the product with care; impacts, blows or falling from even low heights can cause damage.

•  The product may be operated in dry, closed indoor spaces only. It must not get damp or wet!

 

  Never install the product in the near vicinity of bathrooms, showers, swimming pools etc. There is 

a risk of fatal electric shock!

•  Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or strong vibrations.

•  Use in spaces with a great amount of dust, with flammable gases, vapors or solvents is not permit-

ted. There is a danger of fire and explosion!

•  Never touch, use, plug in or unplug the product with moist or wet hands. This poses a risk of fatal

injury due to electric shock! The same applies to the mains plug of the load connected to the socket 

of the product.

•  Never connect the product to the mains directly after moving it from a cold to a warm room (i.e.

during transportation). Condensation occurring while doing so could damage the product or cause 

an electric shock! 

 

  Let the product first reach room temperature. Wait until all condensation has evaporated – this may 

take up to several hours. You may only then connect the product to the mains and start using it.

•  Always hold the designated surface when pulling the mains plug from the plug-in socket. Never

pull the cable when disconnecting plugs from the socket of the product.

•  Do not overload the product. Observe the maximum permissible connecting power as provided

under “Technical data”.

•  Do not connect in series! That could cause overloading of the plug-in socket!! This poses a fire

hazard!

•  Do not operate when covered! Higher connecting power causes the plug-in socket to warm up,

which could result in overheating and even fire if the product is covered!

•  Zero potential only if plug is disconnected!

•  Do not use the product if damaged. This poses a risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!

 

  If damaged, dispose of the product in an environmentally friendly manner.

 

  Safe operation is no longer guaranteed when:

 

-  the product shows obvious damage 

 

-  the product does not function properly or at all (emitting smoke or burnt smell, audible cracking 

noise, discoloration of the product or adjacent surfaces)

 

-  the product has been stored under adverse conditions 

 

-  serious stress during transport has occurred.

•  Always unplug the plug-in socket from the mains (e.g. wall socket) before cleaning or when not

using it for a longer period of time (e.g. during storage).

•  Never pour liquids above or near the product. This poses a great risk of fire or fatal injury due to

electric shock. 

 

  If for any reason liquid has entered the interior of the product, immediately disconnect the power 

supply  of  the  connecting  mains  socket  (e.g.  turn  off  the  fuse/safety  device/ground  fault  circuit 

interrupter of the respective circuit). Do only then disconnect the plug-in socket from the mains 

socket and consult an expert. Discontinue use of the product. 

•  For installations in industrial facilities, follow the accident prevention regulations for electrical sys-

tems and equipment of the government safety organization or the corresponding authority for your 

country.

•  Use the product in temperature climates only, do not use in the tropics.

•  If you have any further questions that have not been considered in these operating instructions,

please contact us or any other expert.

 Observe the safety instructions and all other information provided in these operating instructions!

•  Connect the plug-in socket to a properly installed mains socket with protective earth contact (e.g. wall socket).
•  Connect the load to the socket located on the front of the plug-in socket.
•  You may then use the rocker switch to turn on or off the load connected to the plug-in socket. When turning off,

both poles (L/N) are disconnected.

   

Switch position “I” = turned on

 

Switch position “O” = turned off

  When turned on, the indicator lamp inside the switch lights up.

 

•  This product does not require maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the product. Therefore,

do never open/dismantle the product. Have maintenance and repairs done by qualified experts or repair shops 

only. 

•  Disconnect the product from the mains before cleaning; unplug the plug-in socket from the mains socket.
