Part1: preparation of materials and tools to install the operating conditions Note
Human electric shock, house fires and other phenomena caused by the power switch socket leakage often occurs, the loss immeasurable. The switch socket security problems, partly because of the use of low-quality products, on the other hand may be due to improper installation. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the switch socket, prior to installation, we should be prepared carefully, choose the regular switch socket, to understand safety knowledge to install.
First, the switch socket ready
1, brand product quality and more secure
Switches and sockets are used to the daily life of electrical accessories, for safety, we suggest that the owners are the best selection of famous brand products. The price of brand-name products are often tens of dollars than the average quality is high, but it has excellent technology, and the quality of services to ensure that consumers can use with confidence. Most brands available to consumers effectively warranty, the manufacturer should have a clear address, phone, containing instructions for use, certificate and other product packaging.
2, check product quality and structure
Switch socket best choice for regular brands, but also the selection of high-quality products. Pick up the selection switch or outlet, the surface smooth and intact, hard thick material; then try to require Toggle smooth sound crisp outlet should bring protective door, you need a certain intensity when the plug; the same time, also asked switches and sockets The internal timber, quality products using phosphor bronze conductive composite silver as electric shock.
Second, the installation accessories ready
Before the switch socket on the wall, we can be prepared according to the installation instructions requires adequate accessories, such as metal expansion bolts, plastic expander, galvanized screws, etc., can be bought at the regular hardware store.
Third, the installation tools ready
Also before installation also need to prepare a special installation tools, such as measuring tape measure, spirit level, line sinkers, bored with the drill, tie cones, and use gloves when installing insulation, wire strippers and so on.
Fourth, the installation operating conditions
Installation of switches and sockets need to meet certain operating conditions, requiring whitewashed walls, paint and wallpaper and other renovation work was completed before the start. And electrical conduit, boxes have been laid, and complete insulation telemetry. To ensure that the job fine weather, dry and ventilated houses, cut off the electrical power box.
Part2: the installation process is not complicated switches and sockets installation process
To ensure the safety of the power switch socket durability, suggestions please professional decoration workers installed. If you install or replace yourself, switch socket junction box must be careful, do not allow wrong connection, the case fumbled. Installation process is divided into clean, wiring, fixed installation.
First, the switch socket bottom box clean
Switches and sockets are installed after painter carpentry, etc., and long opposed bottom box inevitably accumulate a lot of dust. When you install the first of the switch socket bottom box clean, especially the box clean dust and impurities, and the remaining dust with a damp cloth to erase the box. This can prevent impurities affect the special case of the circuit used.
Second, the power line treatment
The box wire thrown aside repair length, and then cut the core outlet, be careful not to bruise core. The wire clockwise around the steering wheel on the switch or socket corresponding terminal, and then tighten the pressure head required core shall be exposed.
Three, three-wire socket connection method
FireWire access switch two holes in an A tag, and then pick out from another hole in the insulated wire access to the following socket three holes L hole firmly. Direct access to the zero line socket three holes N hole firmly. Direct access to the ground socket three holes E hole firmly. If you pick the wrong line and ground zero, there will be tripped when using electrical appliances.
Fourth, switches and sockets fixed installation
Put the case thrown out by the wire outlet hole piercing the plastic table, plastic table close to the wall and then secured to the box with screws. After fixing the wire from the line according to their position in the hole switch socket piercing, according to the wire pressure prison wiring requirements.
Finally, switch or socket affixed to the plastic stage, alignment and secured with screws, cover with decorative panels.
Part3: convenient and safe switch socket Installation Considerations
Relating to the use of safe daily switch socket electrical, installation and construction can not be sloppy. The following describes the power switches and sockets installed to note the relevant considerations.
First, the switch socket height standard
Switch and socket unless special decoration use needs, generally should be the standard setting height. Switches adult shoulder height and contour, from the ground 120cm to 140cm.
Socket according to the usage of different height requirements are not the same installation, decoration design should be set aside as planned. The jack on the audio-visual equipment grounding equipment lamps, wiring board, etc. should be from the ground 30cm; washing machines, refrigerators and other electrical outlet from the ground 120cm; air conditioning, exhaust outlet from the ground 200cm.
Second, the installation position of the selector switch
Position switch should be determined according to the family's living habits, like most right-handed people, it is generally the right home improvement door opened and the switches are mounted on the left side of the door. In addition, the stairs two floors, the bedroom door and the bed two, large living room on both sides, using the dual-control switch is very convenient.
Third, the socket mounting position Precautions
In the kitchen mount socket, pay attention to the socket must stay away from the stove to prevent heat damage to the socket; while in the bathroom, balcony near water, note socket is not low, and should be equipped with a splash cover; in particular wet with flammable, explosive gases and dust should not place any receptacle assembly.
Fourth, use a separate electrical power socket
Air conditioning, washing machines, range hoods and other high-power appliances is best to use a separate three-plug socket to prevent tripping circuit total power is too large. For the season of appliances such as air conditioning, the choice of a switched outlet, when not in use the switch is closed, rather than pull the plug.
Part4: installation and acceptance can not be missing switch socket acceptance Raiders
Acceptance circuits is home decoration acceptance of the most important aspects of acceptance. We want to every switch and outlet carefully examined to ensure it is working properly, in order to be able to ease of use.
First, the basic installation and acceptance
First check the switch, socket mounting position is correct, firmly smooth installation requirements. Installation complete box is not deformed, the cover close to the wall. In addition, it can cut off the power to open the front cover, check the box wire wiring requirements to meet the requirements, do not hurt the core, well-insulated box body requires.
Second, the installation tolerances
Switch socket floor when juxtaposed installation requirements of equal height, the maximum allowed height difference of not more than 0.5mm. For all of the switches in the house, such as no special requirements should be the same height, the height difference of not more than 5mm. In addition, the panel can detect the degree of vertical lines through the pendant, tolerance 0.5mm.
Third, check the switch control
Switch is operating electrical equipment console, it is working to bring a lot of convenience to our home life. The trial opened as much as possible the operation of each switch circuit inspection, in order to ensure normal switch button, and the line is connected properly. For some have not yet installed the lamp switch circuit, acceptance with lighting to be installed later.
Fourth, the socket power check
Then you need to use electroscope, dedicated electroscope into the socket mouth, then repeat toggle switch, check the power is applied to each outlet. If the light is black, then this socket is energized there is a problem and needs repair inspection.
V. socket wiring inspection
In addition to the need to check whether the outlet is powered, also you need to check whether the socket connection error. Because some outlet may zero FireWire reverse, missing neutral wire, missing ground, etc., wiring error is likely to cause the circuit accident. And verify that the correct approach is to use wiring socket tester, through observation electroscope N, PE, L three lights lighting situation, to determine whether the normal power socket.
Sixth, the switch socket product protection
Finally, watch whether acceptance surface remains intact, if errors occur when the decoration can claim compensation. After the installation of switches and sockets complete the wall to keep clean. When other construction may not touch crooked damage the switches and sockets.
