Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC Door Bell Switch 4x2, please consider the following expert advice.

• CRITICAL: MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN: Although doorbell circuits are typically low-voltage, they are connected to transformers and mains wiring. Installation must be carried out by a certified electrician to ensure safety, correct wiring to the transformer and chime, and compliance with all electrical regulations.
• Confirm Compatibility: This is a standard momentary switch designed for most common doorbell systems. However, confirm with your electrician that it is compatible with your specific doorbell transformer and chime unit.
• Do Not Use for Lighting: This is a momentary switch, not a latching switch. It is not suitable for controlling lights or other appliances that need to stay on after the button is released.
• Cleaning: To clean the switch, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they can damage the finish of the polycarbonate.
