Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns þ
þ Is the entire switch submersible? While this switch is highly splash-proof and rain-resistant (designed for standard waterproof panel applications), it is not intended for continuous underwater submersion. It is ideal for mounting on surfaces exposed to the elements, such as boat dashboards or exterior vehicle panels.
How do I wire the ground pin for the light? To enable the red LED, you must connect the dedicated ground/negative terminal (often the gold-colored or separately marked pin) to your system's common negative line. The other two pins handle the primary positive current switching.
þ Can I use this for a 240V AC appliance? No. This specific model is strictly rated for DC 12V. Using it with high-voltage AC will cause the internal illumination lamp to fail and poses a significant safety risk.
