Also, Mira switches in durable polycarbonate coating deserved very good customer reviews. In addition, on the market today there are products from this manufacturer of the Deriy series, which are characterized by increased safety.
Pass-through switches
The Turkish company Dernek GROUP, as already mentioned, also supplies products of this type to the Russian market. Pass-through switches are used to control not one device, as usual, but two at once. Such devices "Lezard" are very popular mainly among the owners of large cottages. It is such a product, in fact, switches that transfer one contact to another.
Instructions for connecting a pass-through model
Almost all devices of the companyDernek GROUP, sold on the domestic market, have a simple design. Connecting the products supplied by this company to the household network is easy. The installation technology of conventional switches of this brand is absolutely the same as that of similar products from any other manufacturer. The wires from the socket are connected to the outputs of the device according to the scheme provided by the factory. According to the usual method, the "Lezard" switch with backlight is also mounted. Installation is carried out without any additional steps, since the indicator is included in its circuit in a special way.
With pass-through devices of this brand, which have a more complex design, some home craftsmen may experience certain difficulties in terms of installation. Therefore, we will further consider in more detail what kind of instructions exist for installing just such models. Mount the Lezard pass-through switch as follows:
- The circuit of both lamps is closed with an incandescent bulb.
- Three wires of the first socket box are twisted together. After that, a phase or zero is found in the second socket.
- Unwind the wires in the first box and close together - in the second socket. Also find phase or zero.
After the phase and zero (located in different boxes) are found, strip the ends of the wires and flick them. Next, proceed to the installation of switches. Perform this procedure as follows:
- Turn over the switch "Lezard" two-button and study the circuit,painted on the back.
- In most cases, a zero is connected to the third output of one of the switches, and a phase is connected to the second.
- Two other wires in both devices are connected to outputs with the same serial number. In this case, you should be guided by the color of the insulator.
How to connect sockets: features
This is how the Lezard, the double switch, is mounted. How to connect the outlet of this manufacturer?
Like the switches, these Lezard devices have a diagram on the bottom of the case. When installing, you just need to focus on it. But there is one feature in the procedure for installing Lezard sockets. Models in red packaging are mounted in the usual way. The devices sold in orange include the apartment network, taking into account the fact that terminals 2 and 3 are reversed. Focusing on the scheme presented by the manufacturer, this should be borne in mind. The last one on the panel is a standard one, designed for the normal position of the exits.
Of course, when connecting both sockets and switches of this brand, all necessary safety measures should be observed. You need to work only in rubber gloves. Before twisting or connecting wires, be sure to de-energize the network.
Extension assembly
Connecting the Lezard switch (as well as sockets) is a fairly simple procedure. The same can be said about the assembly of the extensions of thisbrand and connecting the power wire to the blocks, produced in just a couple of steps. The outlets of the extension cord are provided with special screw fasteners.
Connecting the wire thus takes the consumer no more than a few minutes. However, on sale today, unfortunately, there are pads from this manufacturer with a small marriage. There are no screw fasteners on such Lezard extension cords. Therefore, to connect the wire, those consumers who are not lucky with the purchase have to use a soldering iron. Many buyers who do not want to mess with such a tool even have to throw out the block and purchase a new one from another manufacturer in the store.
