FAQs

What does 'Intermediate' mean for a switch?

An intermediate switch, also known as a 4-way switch, is used in circuits with three or more switching points. It works in conjunction with two-way switches to control a light from multiple locations.

Can I replace this switch with a different type, like a dimmer?

Yes, the Click Scolmore Deco switches are modular. You can typically replace the existing switch module with a compatible dimmer or other switch module from the MiniGrid range, provided it fits the plate and the circuit requirements.

What is the material of the switch plate?

The Satin Chrome range, including this black accented model, is manufactured from stainless steel for durability and a premium feel.

What is the maximum cable size this switch can accommodate?

The switch can accommodate cable sizes up to 4 x 1.5mm², 2 x 2.5mm², or 1 x 6mm² maximum.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

No, this switch is designed for indoor use and conforms to BSEN60669 standards for domestic electrical installations.

How do I clean the satin chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to prevent damage to the finish.

Troubleshooting

Switch not working

Ensure the power supply is on and correctly wired. Verify that the switch module is properly seated within the plate and that all connections are secure. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Flickering lights

Check all wire connections for tightness. Ensure the switch is rated appropriately for the connected lighting load (10AX). If using LED bulbs, ensure they are compatible with dimmer switches if applicable, or check the main switch wiring.

Loose switch plate

Check that the mounting screws holding the plate to the back box are tightened securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the plate or back box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This switch is designed for installation by a qualified electrician. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing any electrical work. The switch requires a back box with a depth between 16mm and 47mm. It can accommodate cable sizes of 4 x 1.5mm², 2 x 2.5mm², or 1 x 6mm² maximum.

Compatibility: The switch modules are interchangeable with Click Scolmore's MiniGrid modules, offering a wide range of functional options. Ensure any replacement modules or accessories are from the compatible Click Deco or MiniGrid ranges.

Care: To maintain the appearance, clean the switch plate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Regular dusting will help preserve the satin chrome and black aesthetic.
