Applications

Multi-Point Lighting Control

Essential for controlling single lighting circuits from 3 or more switching positions in hallways, staircases, and large open-plan areas.

Inductive Load Switching

10AX rating specifically designed for fluorescent ballasts, LED drivers, and other inductive loads up to 250V AC.

Retrofit Installations

16mm minimum backbox depth allows installation in shallow walls where standard 35mm switches cannot fit.

Installation

Terminal Connections

Screw terminals with 0.5Nm torque specification accept 4 x 1.5mm² or 2 x 2.5mm² conductors using 3.5mm flat blade screwdriver.

Mounting Requirements

86mm x 86mm faceplate with 60.3mm horizontal fixing centres fits standard UK backboxes from 16mm depth minimum.

Modular Integration

Compatible with Click MiniGrid modules for mixed switching and socket configurations on single 86mm square plate.

Standards

Electrical Compliance

BS EN 60669-1 certified for household switches up to 440V/63A with UKCA marking for UK market conformity.

Health Protection

Antimicrobial certification shows 99.9% bacteria kill rate and 92% virus protection using inherent urea formaldehyde properties.

Quality Assurance

25-year manufacturer warranty with operating temperature range -5°C to +40°C for professional installation confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What backbox depth is required for the CMA025 intermediate switch?

    Minimum 16mm backbox depth required, significantly shallower than standard 35mm switches, making it ideal for shallow wall installations or retrofit applications.

  • Can this intermediate switch control LED downlights?

    Yes, the 10AX rating is specifically designed for inductive loads including LED circuits up to 250V AC, suitable for fluorescent and LED lighting applications.

  • Where would I use an intermediate switch instead of 2-way switching?

    Use intermediate switches for controlling lights from 3 or more locations, typically in long hallways, large rooms, or staircases with multiple access points.

  • What terminal torque setting should I use for installation?

    Set torque to 0.5Nm for the 3.5mm diameter screw terminals. Terminals accept 4 x 1.5mm² or 2 x 2.5mm² solid conductors per manufacturer specification.

  • Is this switch compatible with other Click Mode modules?

    Yes, fully compatible with Click MiniGrid range modules on the same 86mm square plate, allowing mixed switching and socket configurations.

  • Does the CMA025 meet current UK electrical regulations?

    Yes, BS EN 60669-1 compliant with UKCA marking, suitable for Part P notifiable work and meets 18th Edition wiring regulation requirements.
