Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of the KDC-604 rocker switch. Ensure all safety precautions are observed.
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning any work, ensure that the power supply to the device or circuit where the switch will be installed is completely disconnected and locked out. Verify with a voltage tester.
- Prepare Mounting Location: Identify the desired mounting location. The KDC-604 switch requires a cutout for the main body and access for screws through its integrated mounting holes.
- Insert Switch: Carefully insert the switch into the prepared cutout. Ensure it sits flush with the surface.
- Secure Mounting: Use appropriate screws (not included) to secure the switch through the mounting holes on either side of the switch body. Tighten screws firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the switch housing.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the electrical wires to the four pins on the back of the switch. Refer to the wiring diagram of your specific application (e.g., Skyworth TV power circuit) for correct pin assignments. Typically, two pins are for input power and two for output to the load. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
- Verify Installation: Double-check all connections and mounting security. Ensure no bare wires are exposed.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the circuit.

Operating Instructions
The KDC-604 is a simple latching rocker switch. To operate:
- To Turn ON: Press the side of the rocker switch marked with a line ('-') or the 'ON' position. The switch will latch into place, and power will be supplied to the connected device.
- To Turn OFF: Press the side of the rocker switch marked with a circle ('O') or the 'OFF' position. The switch will latch into place, and power to the connected device will be interrupted.
The latching mechanism provides a distinct tactile click, confirming the switch's state.
Maintenance
The KDC-604 rocker switch is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: If cleaning is necessary, ensure power is disconnected. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the switch. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, which can damage the switch.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or discoloration. If any issues are observed, disconnect power and address them immediately.
- No User Serviceable Parts: The internal components of the switch are not user-serviceable. Do not attempt to disassemble the switch.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your KDC-604 rocker switch, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Switch Does Not Latch: Ensure the switch is fully pressed to engage the latching mechanism. If it still does not latch, the switch may be damaged and require replacement.
- No Power to Device:
- Verify that the main power supply to the circuit is active.
- Check all wiring connections to the switch for looseness or corrosion.
- Ensure the switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Inspect the connected device for any internal faults.
- Switch Feels Loose or Damaged: If the switch housing is cracked, the rocker is loose, or there is any visible damage, disconnect power immediately and replace the switch.
If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, consult a qualified technician.
