Key specifications

• Type: Momentary push button switch
• Application: Lighting control
• Mounting: Standard wall installation
• Mechanism: Spring-loaded contact
• Compatibility: Standard electrical circuits and relays

How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical safety regulations. First, ensure the power supply is disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Connect the electrical wires to the terminals on the back of the switch according to the wiring diagram. Secure the switch into the wall box using the provided mounting points and attach the faceplate. Once installed, restore power and test the switch to ensure it triggers the connected lighting circuit or relay correctly.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your lighting system requires a momentary signal rather than a latching switch.
• Ensure the switch is compatible with your existing wall box dimensions.
• Check the electrical load requirements of your lighting circuit.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, ensure all wire connections are tightened securely to prevent overheating. Do not exceed the rated electrical capacity of the switch.
