Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC Grid Plate 4 Lever 2x4, please consider the following expert advice.

• CRITICAL: MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN: The installation of this plate and four associated switch modules involves complex wiring in a confined space. This must be carried out by a certified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with all electrical regulations.
• Module Compatibility: This grid plate is designed specifically for S-TEC brand switch modules. While it may fit other brands, compatibility is not guaranteed, and mixing brands is not recommended.
• Modules Sold Separately: This product is the cover plate only. The required switch or dimmer modules (e.g., STI-1145M, STI-1150M) must be purchased separately.
• Wall Box Depth: When wiring four modules in a single 2x4 box, the space can become crowded. Ensure the wall box is of sufficient depth to accommodate the modules and wiring without strain.
• Secure Mounting: Ensure the plate is screwed firmly to the wall box to create a secure, gap-free cover. The switch modules should click securely into the plate before the plate is mounted to the wall.
• Cleaning: To clean the plate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents, as they can damage the finish of the polycarbonate.
