How to use

Install the cover plate onto Standard 55 or Gira E2 frames following the manufacturer’s mounting instructions. For water-protected installations, use the corresponding seal kit and frames for 1-gang to 5-gang configurations, and fit System 55 SCHUKO socket outlets with hinged covers or socket outlets with earth pins and hinged covers as required. Ensure proper alignment and secure fastening of the cover plate; verify the sealing components are correctly positioned to maintain the IP44 rating.
