Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC Switch 4 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 four 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 four 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 four circuits into a single 4x2 box, the space can become extremely 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.
