SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This product should be installed by a competent person (e.g. a qualified electrician) under these instructions and the relevant clauses of the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations) and appropriate statutory regulations.
• Switch OFF the mains supply at the switchboard and make sure the installation circuit is isolated before commencing installation. Ensure no one else has access that would enable the supply to be inadvertently reconnected.
• All connections must be made as shown below, that cables are not stressed and that terminal screws are fully tightened.
• All accessories where an earth terminal is present must be correctly earthed. To do so fix the earth wire to the earth terminal on the accessory or on the metal plate and then connect the short length of the wire from this terminal to the terminal provided in the mounting box.
• To prevent fire hazards do not exceed the rated current.
• The layout of the accessory may change from product to product, please check the termination marking engraved on the unit before you proceed with the wire termination.
• WARNING: Do not install on freshly plastered or damp walls as this may cause tarnishing.

INSTALLATION

• Partially unscrew all the terminal screws to which the cables are terminated.

• Some accessories have fixing screws clipped to the rear of the plate, unclip these screws before you begin installation.

• For accessories that come with a decorative clip-on front plate, the plate must be removed by carefully sliding the screwdriver between the ramp of the main body of the products and the notch in the lower edge of the plate. The plate can then be levered away from the main body of the product.

• Ensure the back box is firmly fixed to the wall/ceiling before you commence installation.

• If using the accessory as a replacement, remove the existing accessory from the wall.

• Inspect the mounting box (wall box) and remove if any plaster debris or dust present.

• Strip the outer sheath on all the cables, then trim wires to the appropriate length to allow the cable ends to reach the terminals.

• Strip back the inner insulation of both cables to expose 10mm of wire.

• If using a Neutral wire as a Live or Switched Live, Brown sheathing must be put over the Black or Blue insulation to indicate its change of use.

• Connect the cables as shown in the wiring diagrams below.

• Colour codes used in the UK: As of 1st April 2004 new installations in the U.K. could be wired using new EU harmonised colours for the supply conductors of twin and earth cable:
  New Colours Old Colours

  • BROWN-LIVE RED-LIVE

    (The old colours have been replaced from 1st April 2006).

• For accessories having one or more earth terminals, either one or all of these terminals can be used.

• Push all the wires back into the back box, ensuring the cables are not trapped or pinched. Fix the product to the back box with the fixing screws provided. Do not over-tighten.
