Troubleshooting

Switch feels loose or wobbly after installation

Ensure the mounting screws are fully tightened and that the back box is level within the wall cavity.

Lights flicker or fail to turn on

Verify that all wires are securely fastened to the correct terminals and ensure the total load does not exceed 10AX.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires a standard electrical mounting box with a minimum depth of 16mm. Ensure the power is isolated at the mains before beginning any installation work. The switch comes with standard fixing screws to secure it to the back box. To maintain the unit, simply wipe the surface with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can dull the finish or damage the plastic casing over time. Periodically check that the terminal screws are tight during routine electrical maintenance to prevent loose connections.
