Wessex Electrical IP66 20A Switch - Grey

IP66 means the switch is protected against dust ingress (the first '6') and against powerful water jets from any direction (the second '6'), making it suitable for outdoor environments.

Yes, while designed for outdoor use, it can also be installed indoors, especially in areas like garages or workshops where a robust switch is beneficial.

A 2-way switch allows a light or circuit to be controlled from two different locations. This typically requires two 2-way switches wired together.

Ensure all knockouts not in use are fitted with blanking caps and that cables passing through entry points are securely fitted, potentially using cable glands, to maintain the seal.

The switch is rated for 20A circuits.

Yes, the polycarbonate material is drillable, allowing for rear cable entry if needed. Ensure you seal the drilled hole appropriately if water ingress is a concern.

The neon indicator illuminates when the switch is in a position that allows power to pass through to the connected circuit. It indicates the presence of live power.

Verify power is isolated, check all wiring connections are secure at the switch and the device, and confirm the circuit breaker is engaged. Check the neon indicator; if it's off, power may not be reaching the switch.

Ensure power is connected correctly to the switch and the circuit is live. If the neon indicator itself is faulty, the switch may still function but will require replacement.

Ensure the knockout or drilled hole is properly sealed around the cable. Use appropriate cable glands or sealant if necessary to maintain the IP66 rating.

Check for any obstructions or debris around the switch mechanism. Ensure the unit is correctly mounted and not under undue stress. If the issue persists, the switch may be damaged and require replacement.
