ZANGRA SAYS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS

This collection of surface-mounted sockets and switches is a reproduction of historical models that have been brought up to current safety standards.
The 2.5 mm thick bakelite monoblock case guarantees you a superior quality product. Indeed, bakelite is a solid, lightweight, highly heat-resistant and electrically non-conductive material.
Please note that during assembly, the wiring and fixing from the inside is done directly on your wall. When mounting on a flammable support, be sure to close the back of the bakelite block with a mounting plate sold separately. It must then be drilled at the points indicated by the cutting line.

Do not use an electrical screwdriver
Do not use electrical screwdrivers when installing bakelite items. We recommend to first drill a hole in the wall, fit the right plugs inside and use a manual screwdriver to fix the screws in place. Be especially careful during the final tightening of the screws. 

This switch can be installed on a two-way or simple circuit.

What is a two-way switch?

Two-way switch, providing control of a light from two locations.
A two-way circuit is an electrical circuit that allows a lamp to be switched on or off from two switches, for example, a switch at each end of a corridor for the same lighting point.

What is a simple switch?

The simple switch, on the other hand, is used to switch a light on or off from a single location in the room (usually at the entrance to the room).
