How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. Begin by turning off the main power supply.

Once the connections are verified, reattach the cover and restore power to test the functionality of both switch rockers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the IP44 rating is sufficient for your specific installation environment
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat and suitable for surface-mounted hardware
• Check that the total load of the connected lighting does not exceed the 3520W limit
• Confirm that the wiring configuration supports a double switch setup

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the switch housing for any signs of damage or degradation, especially in outdoor or high-humidity environments. Ensure that the cover is always properly sealed to maintain the integrity of the IP44 protection.
