Recessed Double Two-Way Wall Switch 10A 250V - Black

Equip a passageway with two double controls without overcrowding the wall: this mechanism combines two independent two-way switches (controlling the same circuit from two different locations) in a single recessed mounting position, behind a matte black faceplate measuring 8.1 x 8.1 cm. Its 10 A rating at 250 V is suitable for lighting circuits in both commercial and residential settings.

Features

• Two separately controlled circuits in a single recessed mounting position, freeing up space in the wall
• Each rocker has its own set of contacts and can be operated from two opposite locations
• Tool-free terminals: push the conductor all the way into the terminal, with no screws to tighten
• Can be disconnected without damaging the terminal, with rigid or flexible conductors from 0.75 to 2.5 mm²
• Retractable claws and a reinforced mounting plate for a secure fit in standard boxes

Installation

Isolate the circuit at the distribution board before working on the wall or removing an existing device. A double two-way switch always works in a pair: install a second identical mechanism at the opposite control point, with each circuit connected by its two traveler wires (wires that connect the two switches). Connect the live wire to the common terminal of the first rocker, then connect its two travelers to the designated terminals. Repeat the same wiring for the second rocker. Strip about 10 mm of insulation from the conductors and push them fully into the automatic terminals. Then fit the mechanism into a box at least 2.7 cm deep, secure it with the claws or screws, check that it is level, and clip on the 1- to 5-gang finish plate.

Where can you use this double two-way switch?

• Office passageways and corridors: control two rows of lights from either end
• Building stairwells: switch the lights on at the bottom of the stairs and off at the landing
• Commercial premises: control general and accent lighting from both the stockroom and the checkout
• Workshops and utility rooms: control two separate zones from the doorway and the far end of the space
• Covered parking areas and commercial basements: control two lighting circuits from each entrance
