FAQ’S

Q: The light switch works when the front panel of glass is off 

but when I put the front glass panel back on it doesn't work. 

A: You must insure you have the front panel of glass on the 

switch whilst the mains power is off. Turn the mains power off 

for 30 seconds and the put the front panel of glass onto the 

switch, turn the mains power back on and leave for a further 

30-60 seconds. This allows the switch to reset the proximity 

and will now work.
