Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC Switch 3 Lever 1 Way, please consider the following expert advice.

• CRITICAL: MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN: The installation of this switch involves working with mains voltage and three separate circuits within a confined space. This must be carried out by a certified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with all electrical regulations.
• Understanding 1-Way Switching: A 1-Way switch provides simple on/off control for a circuit from a single location. This unit contains three independent 1-way switches. It is not suitable for circuits that require control from multiple locations (which would need 2-way switches).
• Wall Box Depth: When wiring three circuits into a single 4x2 box, the space can become crowded. Ensure the wall box is of sufficient depth to accommodate the switch mechanism and wiring without strain or pressure on the connections.
• Complete Unit: Unlike the modular S-TEC switches, this is a complete, pre-assembled unit. The switch mechanisms are integrated into the cover plate.
• 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.
