Installation

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for proper installation. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about any part of the wiring process.

1. Attach the toggle switch to the plate. Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Connect the enclosed wire to the switch. Make sure connections are firm.
3. Wrap the connected wire with heat shrink tubing, and apply heat with a lighter to shrink the heat shrink tubing. This provides insulation and protection.
4. Using the enclosed connector, connect the switch wire with the wire from the wall. Ensure proper polarity and secure connections.
5. Using the enclosed screw, install the plate at your preferred location. Securely mount the plate to the wall.
6. Put the cover on top of the installed plate, and use a nut to fix the cover in place.

Instructions for Assembly (Nuts)

Properly securing the nuts is crucial for the switch's stability and appearance.

1. Put one nut and one washer all the way up against the switch.
2. Install the gray plate so that it is vertical with the wall.
3. After installing the switch on the wall, install the switch cover on top.
4. If while installing the switch cover there is no space to put the last nut, remove the most nut closest to the wall as seen in Figure 2. It is okay to use only 2 nuts.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your Aruastudio light switch, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the switch plate. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the switch plate and toggle for any signs of damage, loose connections, or wear.
• Environment: Ensure the switch is installed in a dry environment, away from direct water exposure or high humidity, to prevent electrical hazards and corrosion.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Aruastudio light switch, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Light Not Turning On/Off:
  • Check if the circuit breaker for the light fixture has tripped.
  • Ensure the light bulb is working and properly screwed in.
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the wiring diagram.
• Switch Feels Loose:
  • Ensure the mounting screws are tightened securely.
  • Check the nuts securing the toggle to the plate as per the assembly instructions.
• Unusual Sounds or Smells:

  Immediately turn off power at the circuit breaker and consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to fix electrical issues yourself if you are not trained.

If the problem persists after attempting these steps, please contact ARUASTUDIO customer support or a certified electrician.
