FAQs
Is this switch suitable for all types of extractor fans?
This switch is rated for a maximum of 6A, making it suitable for most standard domestic extractor fans. It is not recommended for high-power industrial or commercial ventilation systems.
What does '3 Pole' isolation mean?
A 3-pole switch disconnects all three necessary conductors (Live, Neutral, and Earth in some configurations or Line, Neutral, and switched Live) from the appliance, providing a complete isolation for safety during maintenance.
Can I use this switch in place of a standard light switch?
While it is an electrical switch, it is specifically designed for isolating extractor fans and may not be suitable for general lighting circuits due to its rating and configuration. Always use the correct switch for the intended application.
How do I clean the antique brass finish?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Does the switch come with a backbox?
No, this product is designed to fit into a standard single UK electrical backbox, which is typically supplied separately or is already present during installation.
What are the dimensions of the switch plate?
The switch plate measures 86mm x 86mm, which is the standard size for a single UK faceplate.
Troubleshooting
Switch is stiff or difficult to operate
Ensure the switch is correctly mounted in the backbox and that no wiring is obstructing the mechanism. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Extractor fan does not turn on/off
Verify that the main power supply is on. Check all wiring connections to the switch and the fan for security and correctness. Ensure the fan's load does not exceed the switch's 6A rating.
Switchplate does not sit flush
Confirm that a standard single UK backbox is used and that the switch module is correctly seated. Ensure no debris is present between the module and the wall or backbox.
