Tips

• Professional Installation is Crucial: Always ensure that the CBi Light Switch 2 Lever 2 Way 2x4 White (L123-P) is installed by a qualified and certified electrician. Two-way switching for two circuits involves complex wiring, and professional installation guarantees compliance with all local electrical codes and safety regulations, ensuring safe and optimal operation.
• Understand Complex Wiring: This switch requires careful wiring for two independent two-way circuits. Ensure your electrician is familiar with such configurations to correctly connect the live, switched live, and traveler wires for each circuit to the appropriate terminals.
• Maximize Fluorescent Indicator Benefits: For the fluorescent inserts to glow effectively in the dark, ensure they receive sufficient exposure to ambient light during the day. The material absorbs light energy and then slowly releases it as a subtle glow when conditions are dark, making the switch easy to locate.
• Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: To preserve the pristine white finish and ensure hygienic operation, regularly wipe the switch surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the plastic or compromise the electrical components.
• Consider System Cohesion: As part of CBI-electric’s Plastic Range, consider integrating this switch with other complementary products from the same line, such as single-lever switches, socket outlets, or specialized inserts. This ensures a consistent aesthetic and functional standard throughout your entire electrical installation.
• Troubleshooting Issues: If you experience issues such as lights not turning on/off correctly from all points, flickering, or unusual noises from the switch, immediately disconnect power to the circuit at the main distribution board and contact a qualified electrician. Never attempt to diagnose or repair electrical problems yourself if you are not qualified.
• Load Compatibility: While rated for 16A per lever, always ensure that the total load of the connected lighting fixtures on each circuit does not exceed the switch's maximum current rating or the circuit breaker's rating. This prevents overloading and ensures safe operation.
