FAQs

What is the maximum load this switch can handle?

This switch is rated for a maximum load of 20 amps.

What is the purpose of the neon indicator?

The neon indicator lights up when the switch is in the 'ON' position, providing a clear visual confirmation that the circuit is live.

Is this switch suitable for bathroom installations?

While the finish is polished chrome, specific IP ratings for wet areas should be considered for bathroom installations. Consult local regulations and product specifications for suitability.

What standards does this switch comply with?

This switch is manufactured to BS EN 60669, a relevant European standard for switches.

What are the physical dimensions of the switch plate?

The plate dimensions are 87mm tall x 87mm wide, with a depth of 7mm. It has a 15mm rear projection.

Can I use this switch for lighting circuits?

Yes, provided the lighting circuit does not exceed the 20-amp maximum load and requires double pole switching for safety or isolation.

How should I clean the polished chrome finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Neon indicator not lighting up

Verify the switch is in the 'ON' position and that the circuit is live. Check wiring connections to the neon indicator terminals. Ensure the bulb/neon is not faulty.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions behind the plate. Ensure the switch mechanism is not damaged. If persistent, replace the switch.

Switch is not disconnecting power completely

Double-check all wiring connections, ensuring both live and neutral are correctly terminated. Confirm the switch is rated for the circuit load. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty and requires replacement by a qualified electrician.
