FAQ’S

Q: The light switch works when the front panel of glass is oﬀ, but when I put the front glass panel back on, it doesn’t work.

Turn the mains power oﬀ for 30 seconds, and then put the front panel of glass onto the switch, turn the mains power back on and leave for a further 2 minutes.
This allows the switch to reset the proximity and will now work.
