Hi all,
First post on here and, with apologies for asking what many may have already posted, I have bought a Volex black chrome fronted 3-gang switch to replace the existing Tenby unit. Naturally, the labelling and connections are entirely different in both switches, leaving me suitably lost. Other than unscrewing the original plate from the wall, I've not touched any wiring.
Where the existing Tenby unit has five connections, labelled 3-2-1-3-2, across the top and four connections, 1-3-2-1, on the bottom, the Volex unit has four at the top, L-L1-L2-L and five at the bottom, L1-L2-L-L1-L2. There is also the earth connection on the Volex unit. As it has a metal surround, I presume I should connect this to the main earthing point in the plaster depth box.
Photos attached.
Can anyone please point out which I should connect to which? Thanks.
Steve
