Tips

When installing this switch, ensure the panel cutout is exactly 12.2 mm to achieve a snug fit and maintain the IP40 front protection. Use appropriate wire gauges for the 16 A rating and tighten the M3.5 screws to the recommended torque to prevent loosening over time. For outdoor or washdown environments, consider an additional protective cover, as the IP40 rating is not waterproof.
