3. Package Contents
Verify that all components are present before beginning installation:
- 1 x Legrand Cariva Model 773611 White Double Pole Light Switch
4. Setup (Installation)
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the power to the switch location. Turn it OFF. Confirm power is off with a voltage tester.
- Remove Old Switch (if applicable): Carefully remove the wall plate and unscrew the old switch from the electrical box. Disconnect the wires, noting their connections.
- Prepare Wires: Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12-15mm) of insulation from the ends of the electrical wires if necessary.
- Connect Wires: The Legrand Cariva 773611 is a double pole switch. Connect the incoming live (hot) wires to the designated input terminals and the outgoing load wires to the designated output terminals. Ensure all screw terminals are tightened securely to prevent loose connections. A double pole switch typically controls two separate circuits or provides a full disconnection of both live and neutral for a single circuit (though this model specifies 'Normally Open' connection type, which implies it's a simple ON-OFF for a circuit). Consult a qualified electrician if unsure about wiring configurations.
- Mount the Switch: Gently fold the wires into the electrical box. Secure the new switch to the electrical box using the provided screws.
- Install Wall Plate: Attach the decorative wall plate over the switch.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Test Operation: Test the switch to ensure it functions correctly.
5. Operating Instructions
The Legrand Cariva Model 773611 switch operates with a simple ON-OFF mechanism.
- To Turn ON: Press the switch button to the 'ON' position.
- To Turn OFF: Press the switch button to the 'OFF' position.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the switch, ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of damage, loose connections, or discoloration. If any issues are observed, turn off power and consult a qualified electrician.
