FAQs

What is a double pole switch?

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires of a circuit, offering a higher level of safety for fixed appliances compared to single pole switches.

Can this switch be used for a bathroom extractor fan?

Yes, if the extractor fan is a fixed appliance with a power requirement within the 20A rating, this switch can be used, provided it is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with safety regulations.

What does the '20A' rating mean?

The 20A rating indicates the maximum continuous current the switch can safely handle. This is suitable for many high-power fixed appliances.

Is this switch suitable for dimming lights?

No, this is a standard on/off control switch for fixed appliances and does not have dimming capabilities.

How do I clean the black nickel finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What is the purpose of the LED indicator?

The LED indicator provides a clear visual cue to show when the connected appliance is receiving power, confirming the switch is active.

Do I need a qualified electrician to install this?

Yes, for safety and compliance, installation of switches for fixed appliances should always be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Troubleshooting

LED indicator is not lit

Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position and the connected appliance is functioning. Verify power supply to the circuit and confirm wiring connections are secure. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate

Check for any obstructions around the rocker. Ensure the switch is properly mounted and not over-tightened to the wall box. Avoid forcing the switch.

No power to the connected appliance

Confirm the switch is in the 'ON' position. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the relevant circuit. Inspect all wiring connections for security and continuity. Professional assessment may be required.
