This guide is for electricians and DIY enthusiasts looking for a versatile and easy-to-install switch module. The Click Scolmore Mini Grid Switch Module offers a flexible solution for lighting control with its retractive 3-position functionality and quick-fit design. A key consideration is that it's a module, requiring a separate Mini Grid plate for installation.

A retractive switch (also known as a momentary switch) is designed to return to its default position when released. For a 3-position module like this, each press changes the state of the connected circuit (e.g., ON to OFF, or OFF to ON).
This module requires a standard UK-style back box (often called a 'patress') for surface or flush mounting the compatible Mini Grid plate. The module itself attaches to the plate, not directly to the back box.
The module is rated for 10A, making it suitable for most standard lighting circuits. However, always check the total wattage of your light fitting(s) to ensure it does not exceed this limit. For specific LED compatibility, consult the light fitting manufacturer.
The Click Scolmore Mini Grid system offers various plate sizes (e.g., 1-gang, 2-gang, 3-gang, 4-gang) that can accommodate multiple modules. The number of modules depends on the specific plate size chosen.
While it is a 10A switch, fans often have specific starting current requirements. It's best to check the fan's specifications; if it's a standard domestic fan within the 10A limit, it may be suitable, but a dedicated fan controller is often recommended for optimal performance and longevity.
A standard light switch typically 'latches' in place (stays ON or OFF when pressed). This is a retractive switch; it only changes the state of the light while you press it, returning to its neutral position. It's designed to work in conjunction with other retractive switches or a timer/controller.
Verify that the power supply is on and correctly connected to the module terminals. Ensure the module is properly seated in the Mini Grid plate and the plate is securely mounted.
Check wiring connections for looseness. Ensure the load does not exceed the 10A rating of the switch. If using with LEDs, check for compatibility with retractive switches, as some require specific types.
Tighten the central fixing screw. Ensure the module is correctly aligned within the mounting plate aperture.
