The unit provides five individually switched outlets controlled wirelessly from the supplied remote handset, with a maximum 13A combined load across all five gangs. Each gang carries different current ratings: one at 5A, two at 2.5A, one at 2A, and one at 1A, allowing mixed loads from outdoor lighting circuits to garden pumps and power tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for outdoor installation where mains switching is needed without hard-wired wall switches, the box suits garden lighting control, outbuilding power distribution, caravan site hookups, and temporary event power. The IP66 rating protects against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction, while the IK06 impact rating provides moderate mechanical protection against knocks and accidental strikes. Six 20mm cable entry glands on the base allow in-feed and outgoing cable runs with sealed entries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe remote control operates at 10-20m range depending on environmental interference and line-of-sight, using a 433MHz RF signal that does not require pointing the handset directly at the box. Each of the five buttons on the remote corresponds to one gang on the switch box, and each gang has a neon indicator on the front face showing whether that outlet is live. The remote requires one 1.5V AAA battery (not supplied). The polycarbonate housing measures 225mm wide, 103mm high, and projects 58mm from the mounting surface once installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e225.2 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP66\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeon Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_4130804_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_1189114.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the maximum combined load across all five gangs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is rated at 13A maximum across all five outlets combined.
