FAQs

What is an intermediate switch (3-way switch)?

An intermediate switch, also known as a 3-way switch, is used in a circuit where a light or appliance needs to be controlled from three or more different locations. It works in conjunction with two other two-way switches.

Can I use this switch with any Soho Lighting grid plate?

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

What does 'RM-Grid' refer to?

RM-Grid refers to Soho Lighting's modular grid system that allows for custom configurations of switches and sockets using compatible grid plates and modules.

How do I wire this for a 4-way switching setup?

A 4-way switching setup requires two 3-way switches (one at each end of the circuit) and one or more intermediate switches (like this module) in between. Consult a professional electrician or Soho Lighting's wiring diagrams for specific configurations.

What is the finish of this switch module?

The finish is polished chrome, offering a bright, reflective, and modern aesthetic.

Does this module come with a grid plate?

No, this is a module that fits into a compatible Soho Lighting grid plate. The grid plate must be purchased separately.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on/off from all switch locations.

Verify that the module is correctly wired according to the intermediate switch (3-way) wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure and that the correct module type is used in conjunction with compatible grid plates.

Switch feels stiff or operates poorly.

Check for any obstructions or misalignments within the grid plate or surrounding components. Ensure the module is seated correctly. If the issue persists, the module may be faulty and require replacement.

Module does not fit into the grid plate.

Confirm that you are using a compatible Soho Lighting RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate. This module will not fit CM, EM, LT1, LT2, or LT3 plates.
