Install the module — In-wall 2 Switch
Before you start
- Switch off the main power at the MCB and check the phase is off with a tester. Keep it off until you finish.
- Have a qualified electrician install it. You need a flat-head screwdriver, a tester and insulation tape.
- It fits behind your switchboard in a 2M, 4M, 6M, 8M, 12M or 16M metal box. Neutral is needed.
- Light outputs (L): up to 6A resistive each. One light per output, never in series or parallel. LED/CFL: max 40W.
- LED strips: 240V mains strips only, never 12V or 24V.

Connect phase and neutral
Follow the wiring drawing. Connect the incoming phase (live) to P and the neutral to N. Tighten the screws firmly.
P takes the EB or UPS phase. The module needs a proper neutral connection to work.

P powers L1 and L2. Each takes up to 6A.

Connect your wall switches
Wire each wall switch between C and its own S terminal: switch 1 to S1 and switch 2 to S2.
Wires: C red (5V), S1 brown, S2 black. Never connect AC power to C or S. If you join modules, keep each module's C terminal separate.

Check every connection
Check for loose strands. Phase goes only to P, neutral only to N, and each load and wall switch to its own terminal.
