3. Installazione e configurazione

These switches feature a pre-wired design for simplified installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. La sicurezza prima di tutto: Before beginning any electrical installation or maintenance, ensure that the power source is completely disconnected and appropriate insulation protection measures are in place. It is highly recommended that operators possess relevant electrical qualifications.
2. Preparare il foro di montaggio: Create a round mounting hole with a diameter of 20mm (0.8 inches) in your desired panel or surface. Refer to Figure 2.1 for detailed dimensions.
3. Inserisci interruttore: Gently push the rocker switch into the prepared mounting hole until it snaps securely into place.
4. Connessioni dei cavi: The switch comes with three pre-soldered wires:
   • Filo rosso: Connect to the positive (+) terminal of your DC 12V-24V power source.
   • Filo nero: Connect to the negative (-) terminal (ground) of your DC 12V-24V power source.
   • Middle Wire (often Red or Green, depending on LED color): Connect to the positive (+) terminal of the device or load you wish to control.
5. Connessioni sicure: Assicurarsi che tutti i collegamenti dei cavi siano sicuri e adeguatamente isolati per evitare cortocircuiti.

Figure 3.1: This diagram illustrates the correct wiring for the rocker switch, connecting it to a 12V-24V DC power source (battery) and a load, with the LED indicator wired to illuminate when the switch is in the ON position.

4. Istruzioni per l'uso

Operating the Gebildet rocker switch is straightforward:

• Accensione: Press the rocker switch to the 'ON' position. The connected device will receive power, and the integrated LED on the switch will illuminate, indicating that the circuit is closed and active.
• Disattivazione: Press the rocker switch to the 'OFF' position. The connected device will lose power, and the integrated LED on the switch will turn off, indicating that the circuit is open and inactive.

Figure 4.1: This image demonstrates the functionality of the switch: the top panel shows an LED strip and the switch in the 'off' position with no light, while the bottom panel shows the same LED strip and switch in the 'on' position, with both the strip and the switch's integrated LED illuminated.

5. Manutenzione

These switches are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Pulizia: Periodically wipe the surface of the switches with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Verifica della connessione: Occasionally inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or overheating.
• Condizioni ambientali: Ensure the switches are not exposed to extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, or corrosive environments beyond their specified operating conditions.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your Gebildet rocker switches, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Switch Not Activating Device:
  • Check if the power source (12V-24V DC) is active and providing sufficient voltage.
  • Verify all wire connections are secure and correctly wired according to the diagram in Figure 3.1.
  • Ensure the connected device is functioning correctly and not drawing excessive current that could trip a fuse or circuit breaker.
• LED non illuminato:
  • Confirm the switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Check the wiring of the LED (the third wire) to ensure it is correctly connected to the ground.
  • If the switch functions but the LED does not light, the LED itself might be faulty.
• Funzionamento intermittente:
  • Inspect for loose or corroded wire connections.
  • Ensure the switch is firmly seated in its mounting hole.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Gebildet customer support for further assistance.
