FAQs

What is the main benefit of the anti-microbial properties?

The anti-microbial properties help to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other microbes on the switch surface, contributing to a more hygienic environment.

Can this switch be used for LED lights?

What is the terminal capacity for wiring?

The terminal capacity is 2 x 1.0mm² or 2 x 1.5mm².

Do I need a special back box?

Yes, a minimum back box depth of 25mm is required for installation.

What does '4 Gang 2 Way' mean?

'4 Gang' means there are four individual switches on the plate. '2 Way' means each switch can control a light from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).

Troubleshooting

Switch not operating

Verify that power is supplied to the circuit and that the wiring connections are secure and correct for a 2-way switching setup.

Intermittent lighting operation

Check for loose wire connections at the switch terminals or within the back box. Ensure the minimum back box depth of 25mm is met to avoid strain on connections.

Switch feels loose
