4. Setup and Installation
Important: All electrical work should be carried out by a qualified electrician. Ensure power is OFF at the main circuit breaker before proceeding.
- Prepare Wiring: Identify the live (L), neutral (N), and load (L1, L2, etc.) wires in your wall box. For a 3-way (cross) switch, you will typically have two traveler wires connecting to other switches in the circuit, in addition to the live and load wires.
- Connect Wires: Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your product packaging. Connect the wires to the appropriate terminals on the back of the switch module. The terminals are usually labeled. Ensure all connections are secure using the screw terminals.

- Mount the Switch: Carefully place the switch module into the wall box. Secure it using the provided screws.
- Install Faceplate: Attach the decorative faceplate (if separate) over the switch module.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all connections are secure, restore power at the circuit breaker.
5. Operating Instructions
The BSEED 1 Gang 3-Way Mechanical Cross Light Switch operates as a standard ON/OFF switch within a multi-location control setup. Simply press the switch surface to toggle the connected light fixture(s) between ON and OFF states. The three small indicator lights at the top of the switch provide visual feedback on its status.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the switch surface, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of damage, loose connections, or unusual operation. If any issues are observed, disconnect power and consult a qualified electrician.
- No User-Serviceable Parts: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the switch. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn ON/OFF. | No power to the switch, incorrect wiring, faulty bulb, or internal switch issue. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections against the diagram. Test the bulb. If issues persist, consult a qualified electrician. |
| Switch feels loose in the wall. | Mounting screws are not tightened sufficiently. | Disconnect power, then carefully tighten the mounting screws. |
| Indicator lights are not working. | No power to the switch or internal component failure. | Check power supply. If power is present and lights remain off, the unit may be faulty. |
| Difficulty with multi-point control (e.g., 3-way functionality). | Incorrect wiring for a 3-way or cross-switch configuration. | Carefully review the wiring diagram for 3-way/cross-switch setups. Ensure traveler wires are correctly connected between all switches in the circuit. This often requires precise connection as per the provided schematic. If uncertain, consult a qualified electrician. |
