Past and present meet in timeless quality.

Fanton research have come up with the new Country collection, a series of electrical components made from a ceramic material and designed specifi cally for producing electrical systems in domestic and commercial buildings.

The Country products enhance the expert use of ceramics with a modern twist, a successful marriage between past and present, between looks and the needs of a contemporary lifestyle. The innovation of the technological content takes shape

in an all-encompassing quality design to meet new safety standards and the need for

quick installation, fl exibility and practicality.

Country, products deeply rooted in tradition, an epitome of the Italian style that has always set Fanton products apart. A range of original, exclusive products that are individually marked with the company logo to prove the importance and authenticity of the purchase made.

POWERceramic

The exclusive soul of the Country products guarantees quick and easy installation, a great deal of fl exibility and absolute safety, thanks to the innovative assembly system with internal socket module.

advantages of the Country system

n less risk of accidental breakage of

ceramics during installation since they can be fi tted once

installation of the system has been completed.

n greater proteCtioN should the ceramics break

accidentally since the socket module allows you to keep using the component in

complete safety.

Technical ceramicsNot all ceramics are the same. There are various types of components available on the market and they are classifi ed as follows:

Country products are made from a ceramic material that is termed “technical” due to the high percentage of alumina contained in the mixture.

The Country products’ hidden qualitiesNot all the qualities of Country products are immediately visible, such as the type of ceramic used. All our products are created using a particular type of ceramic that, thanks to the alumina content, makes it signifi cantly superior to other ceramics and porcelain. This is why it is defi ned as ‘technical ceramic’. The Alumina offers the ceramic material a combination of unique mechanical and electrical properties:

• Good thermal stability;• Not subject to oxidation;• Excellent hardness - material akin to diamonds;• High wear resistance - a ceramic component in applications

where it is subject to wear offers 10-14 times the service life of the same component made of steel;

• Resistance to corrosion in acidic or alkaline environments;• Good heat insulator - excellent dielectric properties when used

with direct current;• Good heat insulator.

The differences that matter• Many ceramic products on the market are actually made from

Porcelain, which is inferior to the Technical Ceramic material in one peculiar respect: impact strength.

• The specifi c weight of a porcelain product (comparable to the Country series) is approximately 2.33, as compared with alumina-based technical ceramics, which is 3.55 kg/dm³.

• The tolerances shown on the images (+/-1%) are ample and therefore shared.

• The hardness is evident when products made from Technical Ceramics and Porcelain are tested. An attempt to break them with a normal pair of pliers reveals how the Alumina-based

Technical Ceramic material breaks like glass and requires a lot of force, while Porcelain products break easily, causing the product to crumble. Where the Alumina-based Technical Ceramic material is broken, the visible texture is fi ne, more compact and hence stronger, as opposed to the porous appearance of Porcelain.

• Another factor that sets the two materials apart is the purity of Technical Ceramics, which are whitish and smooth in appearance due to the Alumina content, unlike Porcelain, which is greyish in colour.

The highest impact strength rating of its categoryWith the high quality of the materials used, the Country series has passed severe regulatory tests, achieving an impact strength rating of IK05.

INSULATORSDo not immediately tighten the fi xing screws! Allow the insulator to turn around itself. The eccentric hole allows for adjustment after fi xing to the wall, providing for an adjustment of ± 1.5 mm. This innovation ensures perfect tensioning of the braided cable. Screws are tightened at the end.

A) Fix the primary insulators at a distance of 4 cm from the edge of any base.

B) Position the remaining insulators approximately 45 cm apart (no more than 50 cm between two insulators, particularly if the cable is horizontal).

C) In curves, use 2 insulators creating a 45° angle and keep centres of 5 cm.

D) Should the cable go through walls or other surfaces, always use the ceramic fairlead required to maintain insulation.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

WOODEN BASESThese are free from holes to guarantee absolute freedom of applica-tion and adaptation.

1) First make 2 holes measuring Ø 3 mm, 40 mm apart.

2) Fix them by making 2 holes in the wall, at 40 mm centres horizontally (in order to ensure that they do not interfere with the

screws required to fi x to the bases).

FIXING THE WooDEN BASES AND INSULAToRS + JUNcTIoN BoX WIRING

We recommend starting the installation from the top (junction boxes) down, (switches and sockets). When laying the cables required for wiring, leave a 20 cmlength starting from the centre of each wooden base. This will leave suffi cient cable for wiring the connectionsand recovering the silk required for fi xing knots.

LAYING THE cABLE

When laying the cables required for wiring, leave a length of 20 cm from the centre of each wooden base. This will ensure that suffi cient cable remains for connections and to obtain the silk necessary for the fi xing knots.

A) Proceed with wiring, taking care to position the earth conductor correctly.

B) Fix the socket module at the centre of the base, using the screws supplied. Fasten the fairlead.

C) Fix the ceramic cover.

The fastening (knot) serves to maintain ca-ble position and tension. After having wired the junction box, bind the primary insulator nearest to it. It is only at this stage, that the cable can begin to be fi xed to the in-sulators, as described. These knots must be made in the direction of the base. To make the knots, use the part of the silk recovered from stage 2. We will now descri-be how to make the knots:

A) Slightly open the cable at the primary insulator, forming an eye.

B) Pull a stretch of cable obtained in stage 2 through.

C) Cross the cables over and pull the ends as per the photograph.

D) Pull both threads obtained over the ca-ble and make two knots.

E) Thread these through the eye and pull the ends towards the knot.

F) Insert the cable into the insulator.

G) Tie the cable to the primary insulator opposite, as shown in the photograph above, using the same procedure.

H) Connect the other insulators and cut the threads so that they cannot be seen. This is the result you should obtain.

E F1 F2 G H

The cable is now hooked up to the insulators and attached to the bases. The insulators have an eccentrichole to allow for an adjustment of ± 1,5 mm, thereby guaran-teeing easy alignment of the cable as the insulator is rotated on its screw. Now tighten the fi xing screws for the insulators and the sy-stem is complete.
