Aspect Installation
Wiring Devices Technical
– Aspect
The MK ‘Aspect’ range of products consists of the main product
complete with its support frame and clipping medium, plus a
separate frontplate. The product is mounted to the wall, after
wiring, and the front plate clipped onto the frame.
1.
The frontplate is supplied loose to aid installation.
2.
Make sure not to crush or deform the spring steel clips situated
along one edge of the product support frame.
3.
A gasket is also supplied with each product, which may prove
useful on uneven walls. See note 5 below.
4.
Using the gasket with all switches and the German socket, will
ensure full compliance with the appropriate standards.
5.
Both standards set out to guarantee full engagement of the
frontplate on uneven surfaces, even when there is a mismatch
of as much as 1mm between the distance the main body of the
product is from the wall and that of the front plate.
6.
Where no gasket is used, if thick wallpapers are cut such that
they fit around the support frame and therefore remain under
the edge of the frontplate, full plate engagement with the clips
may be restricted.
Note:
When installing Aspect do not over tighten screws, so as to prevent
damage or distortion to the product or support frame.
Frontplate Removal
1.
Turn off the power supply.
2.
Carefully slide a screwdriver between the ramp on the main
body of the product and the notch in the lower right hand edge
of the plate.
3.
On uneven walls, make sure the screwdriver does not go
between the spring steel ramp and the wall, or damage to the
wall and/or product could result.
4.
Carefully slide the blade upwards and then gently lift the
handle away from the wall, which will lever the plate away from
the first clip. See Fig.4.
5.
With the first clip released, support the plate with one hand and
continue to move the blade to the left under.
Data products in euromounting frames
Products operating at extra low voltage levels (<50v) must not
be mounted in the same Euro enclosures as equipment rated in
excess of 50v.
Cleaning Frontplates
In order to protect the quality surface finish of the front plate,
periodic cleaning should only consist of polishing with a dry lint
free soft cloth.
