No, this switch is specifically rated and designed for lighting circuits only. It is not suitable for controlling power outlets.
The Deta SD1246SSB intermediate switch has four connection terminals: typically for two incoming live feeds and two outgoing switched live feeds.
This switch is rated at 10 Amps, which is suitable for most standard domestic lighting circuits.
This switch is designed for indoor use. It does not have an IP rating for water or dust resistance.

It is manufactured in compliance with BS EN 60669-1 and is CE approved.
Verify power is on at the mains. Ensure the switch is correctly wired as an intermediate switch between two two-way switches. Check all connections are secure. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.
Check for loose wire connections at the switch and in the junction box. Ensure the load does not exceed the 10 Amp rating. A faulty bulb can also cause flickering; try replacing it.
Ensure no obstructions are present. If the issue persists after installation, it may indicate a manufacturing defect; contact your supplier.
Setup: This switch is designed for hardwired installation into standard lighting circuits. It requires connection to live and switched live wires, plus an earth connection. As an intermediate switch, it must be wired between two two-way switches. For safety and correct operation, consult a qualified electrician. The switch has four connection terminals.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK/EU wiring systems for lighting circuits. It is designed to be used as part of a multi-way switching arrangement.
Care: To clean, ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the front plate and switch mechanism. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the stainless steel finish.
