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.
