Wiring Instructions
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.
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.
1. Install mounting box (metal or moulded) for either flush or surface mounting, ensuring appropriate size of
product (Mounting box to be purchased separately).
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.
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)
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.
One Way Switching
One way switching is used in installations that require just one switch to control a light (or circuit) i.e. on or
off.
A two-way switch can be used for one way connection, use COM and L1 terminals. For multiple gang
switches (2, 3, 5 & 6) repeat.
Two Way Switching
Two way switching is used where a light is controlled by two switches.
For multiple gang switches (2, 3, 5 & 6) repeat.
Bell Push
The bell push is a one way switch with a retractive rock
Before installing, ensure the bell unit is suitable for supply voltage.
Intermediate Switching
Intermediate switching is used in installations that require three or more switches to control a light, and
should be used together with two 2-way switches.

Safety Warning
For your safety, this product must be installed in accordance with local Building Regulations. If in any doubt,
or where required by the law, consult a competent person who is registered with an electrical
self-certification scheme. Further information is available online or from your Local Authority.
Please read carefully and use in accordance with these safety wiring instructions. Before commencing any
electrical work ensure the supply is switched off at the mains. Either by switching off the consumer unit or
by removing the appropriate fuse or turning off MCB (trip). Wiring should be in accordance with the latest
edition of the IET regulations (BS 7671).
To prevent fire hazard always use cable of the correct rating & type for the application.
Warning do not exceed the load rating of this device as stated on the rear of the product.

Note - As from 1st April 2004 new colour codes for hard wire installations
were introduced.
EARTH = Green/Yellow Sleeving

Additional Advice for Decorative Products
Fixing method varies depending on which product range is supplied. Always ensure wall surface is
reasonably flat and smooth, with no bumps or projections. Metal frontplates WITH screw fixing holes, fix the
unit to the back box using two fixing screws supplied. All Decorative products MUST have an earth
connection between the frontplate and back box. Frontplates WITHOUT screw fixing holes. These products
comprise main unit with integral gasket, and frontplate as separate item. Fix unit to back box using two
fixing screws supplied. Clip frontplate onto main assembly, ensuring screwdriver notch is located bottom
right hand corner.
To remove plate, place medium size flat bladed screwdriver in notch and lever off against gasket.
Care
To maintain the high quality appearance of decorative finish switches and sockets, BG Electrical recommend
the use of a soft cloth periodically to clean the front face. When installing a decorative product please ensure
that the wall is decorated, finished and free of moisture prior to installation.
BG Electrical recommends avoiding using, but not restricted to, these substances from becoming in contact
with the decorative metal front-plates when cleaning or decorating:
• Adhesive tape, including low tack masking tape
• Solvents
• White spirit
• Multi surface cleaners
• Industrial multipurpose cleaning wipes
• Wet wipes
Using items like those listed above may cause a degrading effect to the front-plates lacquer/plated finish,
although the function will remain unaffected.
