FAQs

What is the primary purpose of a key switch?

A key switch is used to control a power supply in a way that requires a physical key for operation. This prevents accidental or unauthorized activation or deactivation of the circuit, making it ideal for safety-critical applications.

What does 'double pole' mean for this switch?

Double pole means the switch disconnects both the live and neutral conductors of the circuit simultaneously. This provides a more complete isolation than a single-pole switch.

Can I use this switch module with any Soho Lighting grid plate?

No, this RM module is specifically compatible only with Soho Lighting's RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates. It will not fit or function with CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 plates.

What is the current rating of this switch module?

The switch module is rated for 20 Amperes (20A), making it suitable for circuits with significant power requirements.

Where is this type of switch commonly used?

It is commonly used in commercial settings for applications such as emergency lighting systems, isolating critical equipment, or controlling access to specific power circuits where security and preventing accidental operation are paramount.

Do I need a special key for this switch?

Yes, the switch requires a key to operate. The key is typically supplied with the module or needs to be sourced separately if not included.

How should I clean the antique brass finish?

Clean the antique brass finish with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not operate

Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly. Verify that the module is properly seated in the grid plate and that the wiring is secure and correct. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the connected power supply.

Inconsistent isolation (power not fully cut)

This could indicate a wiring error. Double-check that both live and neutral connections are correctly made to the double-pole terminals. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Module does not fit into the grid plate

Confirm that you are using a compatible Soho Lighting RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate. This module is not designed for other plate types.
