Newbie - Hello All, Advice on connecting IP44 Switch

[shy7g]

Hi Newbie to this forum
Can anyone please direct me with the wiring of an IP44 Weatherproof Switch (Greenbrook - WNSW2G-C).
I'd like to use double switch unit as an in-line on/off switching unit. Can someone please tell me which terminals I need to connect the Live, Neutral, etc (power supply to each switch will be off a 13amp plug and breaker unit)

All advice and assistance greatly appreciated
many thanks
Richard

Hi I am looking for an on/off switch for a water-fountain and a pair of wall mounted lights.

The live connects to the live terminal and the neutral does not connect to the switch

The live connects to the live terminal and the neutral does not connect to the switch

Which terminal number(s) would I need to connect the live out of the switch?
thanks

The other side of the switch from where you connect the live, I can't give any particular number as I don't know which of the terminals you are going to put the live into.

is it a single pole or double pole switch?

Single pole, look at the picture

i see the diagram but was wondering about it having the 2 terminals each side.

It's a two gang switch

 

[gutterball]

yes but the arrows make it look as if there are 2 terminals per each side of the individual switch.

OP: Just follow dave's info in post 5 and you will be sorted.
I presume you are wiring the water-fountain and the wall lights from the same circuit?

being a gang switch each side of the switch controls one set of the contacts.
If you look at the diagram on the switch one toggle closes 1 and 3 and the other 2 and 4
Please get a qualified spark to install the switch for your own safety and that of others
The fact is that you are asking this question about something you should already know.
