3. Setup and Installation
Safety Precautions:
WARNING: Always disconnect power at the main circuit breaker before performing any electrical work. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death. If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified electrician.
Tools Required:
- Screwdriver (appropriate for mounting screws)
- Voltage Tester
- Wire Strippers (if installing modules)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Mounting Box: Ensure the electrical mounting box is securely installed in the wall and all wiring is correctly terminated to the electrical modules.
- Install Modules: Insert the desired Vimar electrical modules (e.g., switches, sockets) into the module support frame. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Attach Module Support to Box: Secure the module support frame (with modules installed) to the electrical mounting box using the provided screws. Ensure the frame is flush with the wall surface.
- Position the Plate: Carefully align the Vimar Series Idea Classic Plate over the installed modules and module support frame. The plate is designed to snap into place or be secured with small retaining screws, depending on the specific Vimar system.
- Secure the Plate: Gently press the plate until it sits flush and securely against the wall. If applicable, tighten any small retaining screws carefully to avoid overtightening.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are verified, restore power at the main circuit breaker.
4. Usage
The Vimar Series Idea Classic Plate serves as a decorative and protective cover for your electrical modules. Its primary function is aesthetic, providing a finished and integrated look to your electrical installations. Operate the installed switches or use the installed sockets as per their individual instructions.
5. Maintenance
To clean the plate, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive soap can be used, followed by drying with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the titanium finish.
6. Troubleshooting
- Plate does not sit flush: Ensure the module support frame and modules are correctly installed and not protruding from the wall box. Check for any obstructions behind the plate.
- Modules are loose: Verify that the modules are properly clicked into their support frame and that the frame is securely fastened to the wall box.
- Scratches or damage: The titanium finish is durable but not impervious to damage. Handle with care during installation and cleaning. Severe damage may require replacement of the plate.
