Product Information

Full details

This 20A double pole switch module from Soho Lighting is designed for users looking to create custom, integrated switch banks for kitchens and utility areas, offering safe simultaneous isolation of live and neutral terminals. Its primary benefit is the flexibility to build bespoke switch configurations using Soho Lighting's RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates, allowing for a highly customized user experience. A key consideration is its specific compatibility, as it only works with RM and Dual Grid Plates, not with CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 plates.

FAQs

What is a double pole switch?

A double pole switch interrupts both the live and neutral conductors of an electrical circuit simultaneously, providing a more complete isolation of the appliance compared to a single pole switch.

Can I use this switch module with any grid plate?

No, this Soho Lighting RM-Grid Switch Module is specifically compatible only with Soho Lighting's RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates. It will not work with other series like CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3.

What is the amperage rating of this switch?

This switch module has a rating of 20 Amperes (20A).

Can I combine this switch with dimmer modules on the same plate?

Yes, if you are using a compatible RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate, you can combine this switch module with other compatible modules such as rocker switches and dimmer switches to create a custom bank.

How do I clean the black nickel finish?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no water enters electrical points. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is professional installation required?

While the module itself might seem simple, wiring electrical components carries risks. For safety and to ensure compliance with electrical regulations, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended.

What does 'RM-Grid' refer to?

RM-Grid refers to a specific modular grid system designed by Soho Lighting, indicating the type of grid plates and compatible modules within their product range.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not isolate the appliance.

Verify that both live and neutral wires are correctly connected to the double pole switch. Ensure the power supply to the circuit has been switched off at the mains before installation. Double-check that the module is fully seated in the grid plate.

Module feels loose in the grid plate.

Ensure the grid plate is securely mounted to the wall box. Check that the module's clips are properly engaged with the grid plate frame. If the issue persists, the grid plate itself may be damaged or incompatible.

Inconsistent performance or intermittent connection.

Check all wiring connections for tightness. Ensure the correct type of grid plate is being used, as incompatibility can lead to poor contact. If the module is new, confirm it is properly seated. If the problem persists, the module may be faulty.
