Prior to fitting ensure mains power is

  switched off, identify the Live In and 

Switched Live wires. If fitting into a metal 
back box please ensure that all lugs 

  that are not being used are removed.

terminals as marked in wiring diagram

screw on the back of the unit. Turning

power lighting and contactors. For example:

low power consuming loads (Part no. PFCC-1). 
This switch is the only 2 wire electronic 
switch capable of switching a contactor relay 
provided the relay is fitted with a capacitor 
across the A1 switch live and A2 Neutral.
