Product Information
Full details
The Busch-Jaeger Balance SI Surface-Mounted Housing is designed for electrical installers and homeowners looking to convert standard flush-mounted switchgear into a sleek surface-mounted solution. This 1-gang housing offers a clean, professional finish for installations where wall recesses are not available, though it is important to note that it provides an IP20 rating, meaning it is intended for indoor use only and lacks water resistance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this housing suitable for outdoor use?
No, this product has an IP20 rating and is strictly intended for dry, indoor environments.
Can I use this with non-Balance SI switches?
This housing is specifically designed for the Balance SI series; compatibility with other Busch-Jaeger series or third-party components is not guaranteed.
Does this box come with the switch mechanism inside?
No, this is the housing shell only. You must purchase the basic switch or socket element separately.
What does RAL 9010 mean?
RAL 9010 is the standardized color code for 'Pure White', ensuring the product matches other white electrical accessories in the same range.
Can I mount this vertically?
Yes, the housing is designed to support both horizontal and vertical installation orientations.
Troubleshooting
Housing appears crooked after mounting
Ensure the surface you are mounting to is level before driving in the screws; use a spirit level to check alignment during the initial marking phase.
Cover frame does not snap on securely
Verify that the central plate is flush with the basic element and that the housing is not over-tightened, which can sometimes cause slight warping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, secure the housing base to your wall surface using appropriate wall plugs and screws. Once the base is mounted, pull your electrical cabling through the designated cable entry points. Install your 1-gang basic element into the housing, attach the central plate, and finish by clipping on the compatible Balance SI cover frame. For cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could scratch the high-gloss white finish.
