4. Installation

This Legrand Galea rocker switch is designed for surface mounting and can be secured using either clamp or screw mounting methods. It features screw terminals for electrical connections and operates as a 2-way switch for controlling motor-driven blinds or shutters.

Installation Steps:

1. Power Disconnection: Before starting, ensure the electrical supply to the installation area is completely disconnected at the main circuit breaker. Use a voltage tester to confirm that no power is present.
2. Mounting Preparation: Choose a suitable surface for mounting. The switch can be mounted using clamps or screws. If using screws, mark the drilling points on the wall according to the switch's mounting plate.
3. Secure the Base: Attach the switch's mounting base securely to the wall using the chosen method (clamps or screws). Ensure it is level and firmly fixed.
4. Wiring: Connect the electrical wires to the screw terminals on the switch. This is a 2-way switch, typically requiring connections for 'Up', 'Down', and 'Common' for blind/shutter motor control. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your blind/shutter motor for specific connections. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
5. Attach the Rocker Mechanism: Carefully snap or secure the rocker switch mechanism onto the mounted base. Ensure it clicks into place firmly.
6. Final Assembly: Place the decorative frame or cover plate over the switch mechanism, ensuring it fits snugly and securely.
7. Power Restoration: Once installation is complete and all components are securely in place, restore power at the main circuit breaker.
8. Testing: Test the switch functionality to ensure the blinds or shutters operate correctly in both directions.

5. Operation

The Legrand Galea Rocker Switch is designed for simple and intuitive control of your blinds or shutters. The two-part rocker features arrow symbols to indicate the direction of movement.

• To Raise/Open Blinds/Shutters: Press the upper part of the rocker switch, typically marked with an 'Up' arrow. The blinds/shutters will move upwards or open.
• To Lower/Close Blinds/Shutters: Press the lower part of the rocker switch, typically marked with a 'Down' arrow. The blinds/shutters will move downwards or close.
• Stopping Movement: Depending on the motor and wiring configuration, releasing the rocker may stop the movement, or a momentary press might initiate full travel. Consult your blind/shutter motor's instructions for specific operational details.

6. Maintenance

The Legrand Galea Rocker Switch requires minimal maintenance to ensure long-lasting performance.

• Cleaning: To clean the surface of the switch, gently wipe it with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• No User-Serviceable Parts: The switch contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit yourself. Any unauthorized tampering will void the warranty and may pose a safety risk.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the switch for any signs of damage, loose connections, or unusual operation. If any issues are observed, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Legrand Galea Rocker Switch, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Switch Not Responding:
  • Check if the main power supply to the circuit is on.
  • Ensure all wiring connections are secure and correctly installed. (Warning: Only perform this check if you are a qualified electrician and have disconnected power.)
  • Verify that the blind/shutter motor is functioning correctly and is not jammed.
• Inconsistent Operation:
  • Ensure the rocker is pressed firmly and fully.
  • Check for any obstructions preventing the full movement of the blinds/shutters.
• Physical Damage: If the switch shows any signs of physical damage (cracks, burns, loose parts), immediately disconnect power and do not attempt to use it. Contact a qualified electrician for replacement.
