3. Drähte vorbereiten: Strip approximately 10-12mm of insulation from the ends of the electrical wires.

   • Connect the incoming live wire (from the power source) to the common terminal.
   • Connect the two outgoing switched wires (to the light fixture or other load) to the two switched terminals.
   • Um lose Verbindungen zu vermeiden, ist darauf zu achten, dass alle Schraubklemmen fest angezogen sind.

6. Install Frame and Cover Plate: Attach the Gira frame and then the desired cover plate over the switch insert.
7. Strom wiederherstellen: Once installation is complete and all components are securely in place, turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker.

Notiz: For detailed wiring diagrams specific to your application (e.g., controlling one light from two locations), consult a qualified electrician.
