Troubleshooting

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures complete electrical isolation for safety
  • Highly resistant to daily wear and UV fading
  • Captive screws simplify installation
  • Attractive, discreet square edge design
  • Comprehensive 25-year manufacturer warranty

Cons

  • Requires 16mm minimum depth for mounting box
  • Limited to specific triple-pole isolation use cases
  • White finish may not match all decorative wall hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the power is disconnected at the main consumer unit. Use a standard 16mm deep mounting box. The unit features standard terminals that accommodate typical twin-and-earth cabling. When tightening the captive screws, ensure a firm connection but avoid over-torquing, which can damage the plastic threads. For care and maintenance, simply wipe the faceplate with a dry or lightly dampened microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the high-quality finish over time.
