  1. Apagueu l'alimentació: Locate the circuit breaker or fuse that controls the power to the installation area. Turn it OFF. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is completely off at the switch location.
  2. Prepareu els cables: Strip approximately 1/2 inch (12-15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the incoming line wires (live and neutral) and the outgoing load wires (live and neutral).
  3. Connecteu els cables:
    • Connecteu l'entrada live (phase) wire to one of the input terminals (e.g., top left).
    • Connecteu l'entrada neutre wire to the other input terminal (e.g., top right).
    • Connect the outgoing live (phase) wire to the corresponding output terminal (e.g., bottom left).
    • Connect the outgoing neutre wire to the corresponding output terminal (e.g., bottom right).

    Ensure wires are fully inserted into the terminals and tighten the screws securely to prevent loose connections. A loose connection can cause overheating or malfunction.
