2. Safety Information
WARNING: Electrical installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Always disconnect the main power supply at the circuit breaker or fuse box before attempting any installation, wiring, or maintenance.
- Verify that the power is off using a voltage tester before touching any wires.
- Ensure that the product's voltage and current ratings (16A) are compatible with your electrical system.
- Do not install in wet or damp locations unless the product is specifically rated for such environments.
- Ensure all wire connections are secure and properly insulated.
- Do not modify the product in any way.
3. Setup and Installation
The Gewiss GW10002 switch is designed for flush mounting in standard electrical boxes or enclosures.
- Disconnect Power: Turn off the main power supply to the circuit where the switch will be installed.
- Prepare Wiring: Carefully strip approximately 10-12mm of insulation from the ends of the live (L), neutral (N), and load wires.
- Connect Wires: Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the back of the GW10002 switch. Typically, the live wire connects to the input terminal, and the load wire connects to the output terminal. If the switch has an illuminated indicator, a neutral connection may also be required for the indicator light to function. Refer to the wiring diagram on the product if available.
- Mount Switch: Carefully place the switch into the electrical box or enclosure. Secure it using the provided screws, ensuring it is flush with the wall surface.
- Restore Power: Once the switch is securely mounted and all connections are verified, restore power to the circuit.
