Installation Guidelines

Determine the required mounting position and ensure the wall box is securely fixed to a suitable surface.

Electrical cables should be routed correctly into the box without damaging the insulation. Ensure all wiring and connections are properly contained and that the selected electrical accessory fits securely.

Any unused openings should be handled according to the applicable installation requirements.

Electrical Safety

Electrical installation work should be carried out in accordance with applicable South African electrical regulations and standards.

Switch off and isolate the electrical supply before working on any circuit. Where required, installation should be completed or inspected by a suitably qualified electrician.

Do not use the wall box for outdoor or wet-area applications unless the complete installation and components have the appropriate protection rating for that environment.
