Wiring Instructions

1. Power Off
Before commencing work always isolate the power at the consumer unit
/ fuse box.
*Note – If your installation uses a four-lug metal mounting box, remove the
top and bottom lugs or bend fully back.
2a. Replacing an existing accessory
1. Unscrew the accessory from the wall/mounting box.
2. Note the cable connections:
The illustration shows 1 wire of each colour connected to each terminal.
There should be an additional connection between the mounting box earth
terminal and the accessory earth terminal.
3. Unscrew each terminal to release the wire.
2b. New installation
1. Install mounting box (metal or moulded) for either flush or surface
mounting, ensuring appropriate size of product.
2. Select the most suitable entry point of the mounting box (knock-out) and
route the cables through.
If a metal box is used, a cable grommet should be fitted to the entry point.
3. Cables should be prepared so a sufficient conductor length reaches the
terminals.
Strip the ends of the individual conductors leaving an adequate length bare
to enter terminals.
3. Connection (See diagram)
1. Line up the new accessory to mounting box and take note of where each
terminal is located.
2. Connect each wire to the matching terminal.
An earth connection should always be made between the mounting box
earth terminal and the accessory earth terminal, where fitted.
All bare earth wires must be sheathed with green/yellow sleeving.
When connecting the new accessory ensure that only the bare end of the
wire enters the terminal and no bare wires are visible.
3. Tighten terminal screws securely. (Do not over tighten)
4. This socket is fitted with two linked terminals to provide a dual earth fa-
cility. This is for use in "clean" installations where additional earth capacity
is required to comply with Regulation 607 IEE Wiring Regulations.
4. Complete Installation & Test
1. Carefully position the accessory into the mounting box, ensuring that no
wires are trapped between the plate and the wall and secure with screws
(do not over tighten) then insert screw covers (optional).
2. Once the installation has been completed correctly, replace the fuse/
reset MCB (trip), switch the power back on at the consumer unit and test.

Installation

1. First, identify a suitable area for the push button to be positioned.
Ideally, this should be sheltered from rain or excess heat.
It would be recommended that the button is fitted to the door frame itself,
so you are able to screw directly into the woodwork, making the
installation simple.
2. Place a small flathead screwdriver into the slotted hole and gently
twist to remove push button back.

3. Offer the push button backing up to the wall and drill holes. If fitting to
masonry, use a 6mm drill bit, as per the depressions and securing by
using the supplied rawl plugs and screws. If fitting directly to the
woodwork, use a 2mm drill bit and screw directly into frame or use the
provided sticky pad.
4. Pull plastic tab from under battery to power the push button.

5. Refit the push button to the secured backing by offering up the button of
the push button and gently pushing back together.
