Tips

• Professional Installation is Key: While the grid plate itself is passive, the installation of electrical inserts into it, and the wiring of those inserts, must always be performed by a qualified and certified electrician. This ensures compliance with all local electrical codes and safety regulations, guaranteeing safe and optimal operation.
• Choose the Right Inserts: The G005-P is designed for two single-lever inserts. Carefully select the specific functional inserts (e.g., 1-way light switches, 2-way light switches, dimmers, or bell pushes) that best suit the intended purpose for each control point.
• Match with Compatible Inserts: To ensure proper fit, functionality, and safety, always use lever inserts specifically designed for CBI-electric's Plastic Range grid plates. Mixing brands or using incompatible inserts can lead to poor fit, malfunction, or safety hazards.
• Leverage Fluorescent Indicators: If your chosen inserts feature fluorescent indicators (common in many CBI switches), ensure they receive sufficient exposure to ambient light during the day for them to glow effectively in the dark, enhancing visibility.
• Regular Cleaning: To maintain the pristine appearance of the white plastic, regularly wipe the grid plate and its inserts with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or the electrical components.
• Maintain Aesthetic Consistency: For a truly cohesive and professional look throughout your property, consider using other CBI-electric Plastic Range accessories (e.g., other grid plates, socket outlets, data outlets) that share the same design language and white finish as the G005-P.
• Secure Fastening: Ensure the grid plate is securely fastened to the wall box using appropriate screws. A loose plate can be a safety hazard and detract from the clean finish.
