Temperature switch-off
The inverter in the 230-volt socket with earthing contact will switch off automatically if the temperature exceeds a
specific value. The switch-off function prevents the connected device from overheating when the power
consumption is too high or if the ambient temperature is too high. The 230-volt socket with earthing contact cannot
be used again until after the cool-down phase.
The plug on the connected device must first be removed and then reinserted before using the 230-volt socket with
earthing contact again after the cool-down phase. This helps prevent the connected electrical devices being switched
on accidentally.
