How to use

Install the switch into a compatible flush-mount or surface-mount box following local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams. Ensure the mains supply is switched off before connecting live and switched live conductors to the appropriate terminals and securing the device mechanically. After wiring, restore power and verify correct operation by toggling the switch to open and close the circuit. Use only within the specified voltage and current ratings.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting operation, use the switch only for appropriate loads up to 10 A and ensure installation is performed by a qualified person. If the environment requires moisture protection, mount the unit in a way that achieves the stated IP44 rating. Periodically inspect the device for signs of wear or damage and replace if any deterioration is found.
