Legrand Synergy Authentic – 2 gang switched single pole BS socket outlet 13A + blue led power indicator –

A 13 A double-switched socket with LED is an electrical outlet that is similar to a standard 13 A double-switched socket but also features a built-in LED indicator. The LED light provides a visual indication of the socket’s on/off status for each outlet, making it easier to identify whether each outlet is currently in use or not. The LED indicator is typically located on each switch and emits a low-level light that is visible even in low-light conditions. This feature can be particularly useful when the socket is located in a hard-to-reach area or in a dimly lit room. The double switch on the socket is used to control the power supply to each outlet independently.
This feature allows the user to turn on or off each outlet separately, providing greater control over the power supply and enabling energy savings when an appliance is not in use. The socket is usually made of durable materials, such as plastic or metal, and is designed to withstand regular use and wear and tear. The socket also has a grounding pin to ensure that the connected devices are grounded, which is an important safety feature that protects against electric shock.

Features

• Easy to identify when power is being supplied to your devices
• Provides increased functionality, allowing you to plug in two devices at once
• Helping to conserve energy and reduce your electricity bills

How to use

Step 1: Before installing or replacing the socket, make sure the power supply to that particular circuit is turned off. You can do this by turning off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse that supplies power to the circuit.

Step 2: Decide on the location where you want to install the socket. This is typically installed on a wall where two power outlets are needed.

Step 3: If you are replacing an old socket, remove it from the wall by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. Gently pull the socket out of the wall to reveal the wires behind it.

Step 4: The socket will have six terminals labelled “L1,” “N1,” “E1,” “L2,” “N2,” and “E2.” Connect the incoming “live” (usually brown or red) and “neutral” (usually blue or black) wires and the earth wire (usually green or yellow/green) to the corresponding terminals. It is important to make sure the wires are connected securely and correctly to ensure safety and proper functionality. . Additionally, connect the LED indicator wires to the corresponding terminals, which are usually marked “+” and “-“.

Step 5: Once the wires are connected, push the socket back into the wall and secure it in place with screws.

Step 6: Once the socket is installed, turn the power supply back on and test the socket to make sure it is working properly. You can do this by plugging in a device and turning on the switch to supply power to each socket independently. The LED indicator light should also light up when the switch is turned on, indicating that the power supply to the socket is on.
