To test that the appliance is suitable, turn the appliance power switch on if there is one, plug it directly into the wall socket and turn the power point switch on. If correct operation follows then the appliance will work with the PowerBox.
If the equipment is not suitable, the supplier may be able to offer other control options. Contact them to discuss needs.
