FAQs

What does 'double pole' mean for this switch?

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and neutral wires of an appliance simultaneously, providing a more complete isolation than a single pole switch.

Can I use this switch for any appliance?

This switch is specifically marked for cooker hoods and is rated at 20A. While it can isolate appliances, it's best used for high-draw items like cooker hoods where double pole isolation is beneficial. Always check the appliance's power requirements.

What are RM-Grid and CM Grid Plates?

RM-Grid refers to Soho Lighting's Grid system modules and plates designed for specific configurations, while CM-Grid refers to a different, incompatible system within their range. This module only works with RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates.

How do I build a custom switch bank?

You need to purchase the appropriate Soho Lighting Grid Plate (RM or Dual RM+CM) and then select individual RM-Grid modules (like this cooker hood switch, standard switches, dimmers, etc.) that snap into the plate to create your desired layout.

Is this module suitable for a dimmer switch combination?

Yes, this module can be part of a custom bank alongside dimmer modules, provided you are using a compatible RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate system.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the Soho Lighting website for specific warranty information, as it may vary.

Can I mix RM and CM modules on the same plate?

No, RM modules (like this one) and CM modules are not interchangeable and cannot be mixed on the same grid plate. You must use either RM or CM compatible components according to the plate type.

Troubleshooting

Switch is stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the module is correctly seated within the grid plate and that no wires are obstructing the mechanism. Check for debris around the toggle.

Appliance does not turn off completely when switch is in the 'off' position.

Verify that the module is correctly wired to both the live and neutral terminals of the appliance. Double-check that the correct grid plate system is being used and that the module is fully engaged. Consult a qualified electrician if the issue persists.

Module does not fit into the grid plate.

Confirm that you are using a compatible RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate from Soho Lighting. Ensure no plastic clips or edges on the module or plate are damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
