G Operating instructions
10-way master/slave outlet strip
Item no. 1296315
Intended use
The 10-way master/slave outlet strip is used to automatically power on up to 5 devices. The con-
sumer loads connected to the 5 slave sockets are controlled by a consumer load which is con-
nected to the master socket. The switch-on threshold can be adjusted within a range between
approx. 8 - 80 W.
The outlet strip has also 4 sockets for continuous current.
All 10 sockets can be switched on/off via the main switch.
The outlet strip must be connected to an earthed mains socket (wall socket). For connection data
and maximum total power consumption of each connected consumer load, see chapter "Techni-
cal Data".
An integrated voltage surge protection is used to protect the consumer loads that are connected
to the outlet strip from electrical surges in the power grid. Furthermore, the product features an
integrated voltage surge protection for an analogue telephone connection (RJ11 sockets), a PC
network (RJ45 sockets) and a TV aerial socket.
The product may only be used in dry, enclosed spaces.
Always observe the safety instructions included in these operating instructions. Read the operat-
ing instructions carefully; keep them in a safe place and/or pass them on to other users of the
outlet strip.
Any use other than that described above could lead to damage to this product and involves risks
such as short circuits, fire, electric shock, etc. No part of the product may be modified or changed!
This product complies with the applicable national and European requirements. All names of com-

Safety instructions
D amages due to failure to follow these operating instructions will void the warranty!
We do not assume any liability for any resulting damage!
W e shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused by in-
correct handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! The warranty will be
void in such cases!
a) General
• The unauthorised conversion and/or modification of the product is not permitted for
safety and approval reasons (CE). Do not open/disassemble! Contains no customer-
serviceable parts.
Maintenance, adjustment or repair work may only be carried out by an expert/au-
thorised service centre, which is familiar with the hazards involved and the relevant
regulations.
• The product is designed according to protection class I. It may only be used when
connected to an earthed mains socket.
• The outlet strip is equipped with a child safety device. Only when, for example, the
prongs of a power plug are placed in both openings of the socket at the same time
will the mechanism release the opening.
However, take special caution when children are around. Children cannot realise
the danger arising from the incorrect use of electrical devices. There is a risk of a
life-threatening electric shock!
The product is not a toy and must be kept out of the reach of children. Position the
product so it is out of the reach of children.
• Do not carelessly leave the packaging material lying around since this may become
a dangerous toy for children.
• Handle the product with care; it may be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental
falls, even from a low height.
• This product is not suitable for industrial use, but only for private use.
b) Installation location
• The product may be used in dry, enclosed indoor areas only; it must not get damp or
wet! Never set up the product in the direct vicinity of a bathroom, shower, bathtub or
similar. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• The product must not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight or strong
vibrations.
• Completely unwind the mains cable during use. The mains cable must not be pinched
or damaged by contact with sharp edges. Do not place any objects on the cable, and
do not allow it to become kinked. Install the cable where no one can stumble over it
and the plug is easily accessible. Do not install the mains cable under carpets or the
like.
• Do not operate the device in environments where there are high levels of dust, flam-
mable gases, vapours or solvents. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
c) Handling and use
• Never touch, operate, plug in or unplug the product with damp or wet hands. There
is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• Never connect the product to the power supply immediately after it has been trans-
ferred from a cold room into a warm one (e.g., during transport). The condensation
that develops in such cases could damage the device or cause an electric shock!
Allow the product to reach room temperature. Wait until the condensation has evap-
orated. This might take several hours. Only after this should the product be plugged
into the power supply and put into use.
• Always pull a mains plug on the gripping surface intended for this purpose. Never
unplug the mains plug from a mains socket by pulling the cable!
• Do not overload the outlet strip. Observe the connected load in the chapter "Techni-
cal Data".
The product must not be used to power on consumer loads with high starting current
(such as power tools) or too high power consumption (e.g. a kettle)!
• Do not connect in series! This can lead to an overloading of the outlet strip! There is
a risk of fire!
Plug the earthed mains plug of the outlet strip directly, e.g., into a wall socket. Do not
connect other outlet strips to this outlet strip.
• The mains socket (wall socket) at which the outlet strip is connected must be easily
accessible.
• Do not operate while it is covered! At higher connected loads, the outlet strip and the
connecting cable become warm, which can lead to overheating and potentially a fire
if covered!
• Current-free only when the plug is withdrawn!
• Do not use the product when it is damaged (e.g., housing, mains cable, mains
switch). There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
In this case, dispose of the product in an environmentally correct manner.
Safe operation can no longer be assumed if:
- the product shows visible signs of damage
- the product does not work at all or works poorly (leaking smoke or a smell of
burning, audible cracking noises, discolouration to the product or the adjacent
surfaces)
- the product was stored under unfavourable conditions
- it was exposed to heavy loads during transport
• Always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket before cleaning the outlet strip or
when the device will not be in use for a long time.
• Never pour any liquids above or next to the product. You run the risk of causing a
fire or a fatal electric shock. If any liquid has still managed to enter the device, turn
off the power supply to the mains socket at which the outlet strip is connected im-
mediately (turn off the fuse/circuit breaker/residual current operated circuit breaker
of the associated circuits).
Only then can you unplug the mains plug of the outlet strip from the mains socket and
contact a specialist. Do not use the product any longer.
• In commercial institutions, the accident prevention regulations of the Employer's Li-
ability Insurance Association for Electrical Systems and Operating Facilities are to
be observed!
• Use the product only in a temperate climate, never in a tropical climate.
• If you have any questions that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical department or another specialist.
