Key Operated Switchsocket Outlet
Description
The Key Operated 13 amp socket is designed for ease of installation and has all
the design features of the Edge range. The built-in lock ensures that power cannot
be provided without key operation making it ideal for communal areas such as hotel
lobbies. The key can be removed from the lock in the on or off position leaving the
socket with or without power supply.
The product can be quickly installed as replacement for existing 2 gang 13 amp
sockets or in a new installation (assuming suitable 47mm deep mounting box is in
position).
Installation
Edge socket outlets can be wall or bench mounted. Do not mount or use as a
trailing socket or where they may be subject to excessive moisture or dampness.

All Edge 13A socket outlets comply with
