FAQs
What types of modules can I use with this grid plate?
This grid plate is specifically designed for Soho Lighting RM modules. It is not compatible with CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 modules.
Does this plate come with switches, or do I need to buy them separately?
This is a grid plate, which acts as a base for modules. You will need to purchase the desired RM grid modules (switches, sockets, etc.) separately to build your custom plate.
How do I clean the brushed brass finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which could damage the finish.
What does 'screwless' mean in this context?
The screwless design refers to the outer aesthetic plate, which clips over the main structure and hides the mounting screws, providing a clean, seamless look on the wall.
Can I combine different types of switches on one plate?
Yes, as long as they are compatible RM modules, you can combine various types such as 2-way switches, intermediate switches, dimmer modules, or socket outlets on a single grid plate.
Is installation difficult?
Basic electrical knowledge and adherence to safety guidelines (switching off power) are required. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician if you are not experienced with electrical installations.
What is the purpose of the yoke included with the plate?
The yoke (or frame) is the internal structure that holds the modules and attaches to the wall box. It provides a secure mounting point for the grid system.
Troubleshooting
Plate does not sit flush against the wall.
Check that the wall box is installed correctly and that no wires are obstructing the plate. Ensure the yoke is securely fastened to the wall box.
Modules are not working.
Verify that the correct RM modules are used and that they are properly seated in the grid frame. Double-check all wiring connections according to the module's instructions and ensure power is restored.
Screwless cover plate does not click into place.
Ensure all modules and the main grid plate are correctly aligned and securely fitted. Check for any debris that might be preventing the cover from snapping on.
