Frequently Asked Questions
-
What minimum backbox depth is required for the CMA013?
Only 16mm minimum backbox depth required - significantly lower than standard switches requiring 25-35mm depth for shallow wall installations.
-
Are the switch modules interchangeable with other grid systems?
Compatible with Click Mode MiniGrid range only. Accepts 3 single-width modules or 1 double-width module on 60.3mm fixing centres.
-
Can this 10A switch control LED lighting circuits?
Yes, 10AX inductive rating suitable for LED lighting loads. Silver-on-lay contacts provide reliable switching for electronic loads up to 10A.
-
What cable sizes fit the screw terminals?
Screw terminals accept 4x 1.5mm² conductors or 2x 2.5mm² conductors. Tighten to 0.5Nm torque using Ø3.5mm screwdriver.
-
Does the antimicrobial coating affect switch operation?
No operational impact. Antimicrobial treatment integrated into urea formaldehyde material provides 99.9% bacterial kill rate without affecting electrical performance.
-
Is this switch BS EN 60669-1 compliant for Part P work?
Yes, fully compliant with BS EN 60669-1 standard. CE marked and suitable for notifiable electrical work under Part P regulations.
