External socket

[ethans]

Hi,

I bought a clipsall two gang external socket with built in RCD and have one question I was hoping you could help with - there is no terminal in the socket for the earth - where does that go?

never seen one, but are you sure?

picture?

Afraid my camera has gone...

I found it on the web, but can't find a picture of the backside with the connections...

ethans,

There will be an earth terminal, though I can't advise where it will be. If the connections are made to the RCD part then that may only have Live and Neutral connections, but the back of the socket will have an earth - it may be that there is a cover over it that has to be taken off?

Did you get any wiring instructions with it? I found some technical drawings here but they don't seem to have that exact model.

That is uglier than my mother-in-law.

There were uglier, this one was certainly the looker of the bunch.

The wiring diagram was useless. I searched the web as well and found no better. I also emailed them about it, no response.

I'll have a look again tonight, but I did search the thing inside and out not finding anything.
