FAQs
What is a double pole (DP) switch?
A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral conductors of a circuit simultaneously, providing a more complete isolation than a single pole switch.
Can this switch be used outdoors?
No, this switch is IP20 rated and is strictly for indoor use only in dry environments.
What size back box is required?
A 70mm x 70mm back box with a minimum recess depth of 37mm is required.
Does the neon light require separate wiring?
The neon indicator is typically wired to be live when the switch is in the 'on' position and should function as part of the standard circuit wiring.
How do I clean the black finish?
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Is this switch compatible with smart home systems?
This is a standard manual electrical switch and is not a smart device itself. Compatibility with smart home systems would depend on integrating it with external smart relays or controllers.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the manufacturer's warranty information provided with the product or on the Buster + Punch website for specific details.
Troubleshooting
Neon indicator not lighting up
Ensure the circuit is live and the switch is in the 'on' position. Verify wiring connections to the neon indicator terminals.
Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions or debris around the switch mechanism. Ensure the back box is not causing pressure on the switch housing. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Intermittent power to connected device
Verify that all wiring connections are secure and tight. Check that the circuit is not overloaded and that the switch's 20A rating is not being exceeded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This switch requires installation by a qualified electrician. It needs a standard 70mm x 70mm back box with a minimum recess depth of 37mm. Ensure the power supply is completely isolated before beginning any installation work. The double pole design means both live and neutral conductors are switched simultaneously, providing a complete disconnection from the power source.
Compatibility: The switch operates on 230v - 240v AC and is rated for 20 Amps. It is compatible with standard UK wiring systems. It is designed to complement other products within the Buster + Punch Electricity range, such as plug sockets and other switch types, to achieve a unified aesthetic.
Care: To maintain the sleek black finish, clean the switch with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the painted surface. The solid metal construction ensures durability, but regular dusting will help preserve its appearance.
