FAQs

What is the amperage rating of this switch?

The Deta G3553BK switch has a rating of 20 amps.

Can this switch be used for any type of fan?

This switch is specifically designed and marked for 'EXTRACTOR FAN' use and is rated for 20 amps. It is intended for use with ventilation extractor fans.

What does 'Double Pole' mean?

Double pole switching means that the switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires of the circuit simultaneously, providing a more complete isolation from the power supply compared to a single pole switch.

Do I need a special type of wall box for this switch?

This switch requires installation within a Deta branded grid switch assembly, which uses a specific mounting frame. It is not designed for standard UK back boxes without the Deta grid system.

What color is the switch?

The switch has a black finish.

Is installation difficult?

Installation requires a qualified electrician familiar with Deta grid switch systems and standard electrical wiring practices. It involves integrating the switch module into the Deta grid frame.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not turn on the extractor fan.

Verify that the main power supply to the circuit is on. Ensure the extractor fan is correctly wired to the switch and that the Deta grid assembly is properly installed. Check the fuse or circuit breaker for the relevant circuit.

Extractor fan runs continuously or does not turn off.

This could indicate a wiring fault. Please consult a qualified electrician to check the double pole wiring and ensure the switch mechanism is functioning correctly.

Switch feels loose or wobbly.

The switch may not be securely clipped into the Deta grid mounting frame. Ensure it is properly seated and secured according to the grid system's instructions. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician.
