Frequently Asked Questions
-
What backbox depth is needed for the CMA1836 socket?
Requires 25mm minimum backbox depth for flush mounting. Standard 35mm depth provides optimal cable management space for 2.5mm² ring main cables.
-
Can terminals accept both 2.5mm² and 4mm² cables?
Yes, screw terminals accommodate 3 x 2.5mm² or 2 x 4mm² conductors with 2Nm torque specification. Twin earth terminals fitted as standard.
-
How effective is the antimicrobial coating on bacteria?
Provides 99.9% bacteria kill rate and 92% virus elimination for non-enveloped viruses. Coating is integral to the urea material construction.
-
Is this suitable for bathroom zone 2 installations?
No, IP20 rated for dry locations only. Bathroom zones require IP44 minimum rating per BS 7671 wiring regulations.
-
What makes the safety shutters enhanced compared to standard?
Earth pin alone cannot open live/neutral shutters. All three pins must engage simultaneously, providing superior child protection beyond basic BS 1363 requirements.
