2 x Switch FWS01/K/AB/W/WP
1 x Y Connector FSYA
2 x Switch Drop Lead FSL10/BL
4 x Standard (on/off) Luminaire Lead FL3100LSHF5/W
2 x Maintained Emergency Luminaire Lead FL4100LSHF5/R

Control Device Properties

Switches are 2 position retractive type ie. it can be pulsed up/down but when released always returns to the centre position.

Switches operate at Protected Extra Low Voltage (PELV) – nominally 5V.

Operation

Luminaires are all turned on/off manually using the flex7 Switches. Pulse in one direction to send an on signal and the other to send an off signal.

Installation

  1. Install the Distribution Box using the fixing kit provided.
  2. Terminate the fixed wiring into the Distribution Box terminals – see adjacent schematic.
  3. Fit the Switches – they mount onto a standard 25mm deep single box with 60.3mm centres.
  4. Plug the Control Pack into any outlet on the Distribution Box.
  5. Plug Y Connector into Control Pack.
  6. Plug one end of each Switch Drop Lead into the Y Connector.
  7. Plug one end of each Switch Drop Lead into a Switch.
  8. Plug the luminaires into any outlet on the Distribution Box.

Tips and Tricks

More Switch positions can be added as required simply by incorporating more Y Connectors, Switch Drop Leads and Switches into the installation.

Because our system works using retractive type Switches to send on/off PELV signals rather than traditional latched Switches operating at mains potential, there’s no need to incorporate strappers for 2-way / intermediate terminations – everything from flex7 plugs in.
