hi all

bought a new 2 way 2 gang light switch for my hallway.

the back on the new switch looks completely different to the old one and labelled differently....

there are two sets of wires that enter the switch box....

one has Black which leads to B1 and Red that leads to B Com on the back of the old switch.

the other has Red which leads to A2, Blue that leads to A1 and Yellow that leads to COM on the old switch.

Now the new switch hasnt got any of these lables on the back..... it has on one side of the switch 0 , 1 & 3 and same on the other side of the switch.

What goes where????
 
only description i got with it was......
2 way L - 0 and L1 - 1 and L2 - 3
 
the switch controls a hallway light and an upstairs light.. if that helps
 
COM on the old is the O on the new switch

L1 on the old becomes 1 on the new

L2 on the old becomes 2 on the new

Does the new have a metal front ? if it does that will require an earth connection which the manufactures have not fitted. So the new switch does not comply with BS7671
 
Will that even fit a UK switch box? The holes apper to be in the wrong place :?

OP, where did you get this switch from?
