IP66 Weatherproof Protection

The VWP1222 has an IP66 rating, providing a high level of protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets.

This makes it suitable for electrical switching in outdoor and other challenging environments where standard indoor accessories would not provide sufficient environmental protection.

The durable impact-resistant polycarbonate enclosure also helps protect the switch against the knocks and impacts associated with everyday use.

20AX 2 Way Switching

The switch features a 20AX rating and 2 way switching configuration.

A 2 way switch can form part of an appropriately wired circuit where a lighting load is controlled from two different positions, while it can also be used in suitable conventional switching applications.

The 20AX rating makes the switch suitable for appropriate lighting loads, subject to correct circuit design and installation.

Dual-Function Neon Indicator

An integrated dual-function neon indicator provides additional flexibility during installation.

Depending on how it is configured, the neon can be used as:

• Status Indicator: Provides a visual indication of the switched state.
• Locating Light: Helps users identify and locate the switch in dark or poorly illuminated areas.

This is particularly useful for outdoor installations, garages, utility areas and commercial environments.

Installer-Friendly Design

The WeatherPro range incorporates several features intended to make installation quicker and more convenient.

Captive and backed-out terminals are combined with large cable lead-ins and clear terminal markings to simplify wiring.

Fast-fix screws allow the accessory frame to be quickly installed or removed, while multiple drill-out cable entry points are provided on the sides and rear of the back box.

The enclosure's mounting points are separated from the main wiring space, helping maintain its IP protection when correctly installed.
