This guide is for electricians, custom builders, and homeowners looking to safely isolate specific appliances like dishwashers. The key benefit is its double pole switching capability, ensuring simultaneous live and neutral disconnection for enhanced safety, a crucial feature for high-power appliances. A potential caveat is its specific compatibility with Soho Lighting's RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates, meaning it cannot be used with all grid systems. This module is part of an engraved grid system that allows for custom configurations of switches and sockets.

A double pole switch disconnects both the live and the neutral wires simultaneously, providing a complete isolation from the power supply. This is a safety feature often recommended for appliances.
No, this switch module is specifically designed for Soho Lighting's RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates. It will not fit or function correctly with other grid systems like CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 plates.
It is ideal for safely isolating appliances that draw significant power, such as dishwashers, washing machines, ovens, or other fixed appliances that require a definitive power disconnection for maintenance.
RM plates are exclusively for RM modules, while Dual (RM+CM) plates are designed to accommodate both RM and CM (Component Modules) side-by-side, offering greater flexibility in custom configurations.
Use a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
Due to the nature of electrical wiring, it is highly recommended that installation is carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
This is a 20A rated switch, suitable for appliances with high power consumption.
Ensure the module is correctly seated in the grid plate and that no wires are obstructing the mechanism. Check for debris within the switch mechanism.
Verify that the main power supply is on. Check all wiring connections to the switch module and ensure they are secure and correct for live and neutral. Test continuity of the switch.
Confirm that both live and neutral wires are correctly terminated on the double pole switch. Ensure the switch mechanism is fully engaging and disengaging.
Double-check that you are using a compatible Soho Lighting RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate. This module is not compatible with other grid plate types.
