Tips

To ensure the correct and safe installation of your Onesto 1 Lever 2 Way Switch Complete 4x2, please follow this expert guidance:

• CRITICAL - PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED: The wiring for a 2-way circuit is more complex than a standard switch and must be performed by a qualified and certified electrician in compliance with SANS 10142-1.
• CRITICAL - WORKS IN PAIRS: A 2-way switch cannot function for multi-point control on its own. To control one light from two locations, you need two 2-way switches connected by specific "traveller" wires.
• KNOW YOUR SWITCHES:
  • 1-Way Switch (ON2011): Controls a light from one location.
  • 2-Way Switch (this product, ON2012): Used at the start and end of a multi-point control circuit. You need two of them for two-location control.
  • Intermediate Switch (Module ONM20IS): Used between two 2-way switches to add a third (or fourth, fifth, etc.) control point.
• PAINTING MADE EASY: For a perfect finish, always remove the clip-on surround before painting the wall. This prevents accidental smudges and creates crisp, clean lines. Re-attach it only when the paint is completely dry.
