Installation and use

Mount the insert into a standard flush-mounted box, connect rigid conductors (1.5–2.5 mm²) to the screw terminals, and secure it in place. Then attach your chosen Gira System 55 rocker and cover frame. The changeover contact allows the insert to function as a standard switch or as part of a two-way circuit—for example, controlling a light from two locations. With an IP20 rating, it is intended for indoor dry environments. The compact 32 mm installation depth helps when space behind the wall is limited.

Final note

Remember that the rocker and frame are not included; select them separately from the System 55 range to complete the installation. The insert itself is built to deliver consistent, long-term switching performance, making it a sound investment for any professional project.
