FAQs

Can I use this with an MK grid plate?

No, this module is specifically engineered for Varilight PowerGrid systems and is not compatible with other manufacturers.

What is the benefit of double pole switching?

Double pole switching isolates both the live and neutral wires, providing a higher level of safety for maintenance and equipment protection.

Is this suitable for outdoor use?

No, this is an indoor module and should not be exposed to moisture or extreme environmental conditions.

What does 1-way mean in this context?

A 1-way switch controls a light or appliance from only one single switch location.

Does this module dim lights?

No, this is a standard ON/OFF rocker switch and does not possess dimming capabilities.

Can I replace a standard light switch with this?

Yes, provided you are using a Varilight PowerGrid faceplate and the wiring is appropriate for a double pole connection.

Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose in the grid plate

Ensure the retaining clips on the back of the module are fully engaged with the frame.

No power to the appliance

Verify that all wire connections at the terminal screws are tight and that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
