Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage system is this panel designed for?
It is designed for 12 V DC systems.How many switches/circuits does it have?
This model includes 4 individual switches (4 circuits).What is the current rating per switch?
Each switch is rated up to approximately 15 A at 12 V DC.How do I know if a fuse is blown or there is a fault?
The red LED for each circuit lights when the switch is ON. If a fuse is blown or there’s a circuit fault, the LED indicates this condition.How do I change a blown fuse?
Unclip the front nylon cover, turn off power, remove the blown blade fuse and replace with a correct-rated one, then refit the cover.Are labels included for each switch?
Yes — a self-adhesive legend set is included so you can label each switch’s function (e.g., “Bilge Pump”, “Deck Lights”).What are the mounting dimensions / cut-out size?
Approximate panel size is 165 mm high × 68 mm wide (depending on variant). The cut-out size is slightly smaller for flush mounting.Is the panel fully waterproof or submersible?
The panel is rated IP65 — protected from jets of water and spray, but not designed for full immersion.What happens if a circuit draws more than its rating?
The fuse for that circuit is expected to blow, which protects the wiring and switch. Repeated overloading may damage components.Can this panel be used in marine, RV or off-road installations?
Yes — it is designed for such applications with robust sealing, durable materials, and user-friendly features.What is the warranty?
The product comes with a lifetime manufacturer warranty
Tips & Tricks
Step-by-Step Installation
Mark and cut the mounting opening using the panel template or the approximate size (approx. 165 mm × 68 mm).
Deburr edges and test the panel fit.
Secure the panel to the mounting surface with the supplied stainless-steel screws. Do not overtighten.
Route the main positive supply to the panel’s input terminal, and connect the main negative (ground) to a dedicated bus or grounding point.
For each of the four circuits: run a positive wire from the switch input to the corresponding load, and ensure the load’s negative is connected to the ground bus.
Insert the correct rated blade fuses for each circuit.
Clip on the front nylon cover to conceal screws and fuses.
Power up the system and test each switch: confirm the LED lights when ON and that the devices operate. Check for any irregular behaviour.
Secure all wiring, use cable ties or clips, protect edges and pass-throughs with grommets or sleeving.
Maintenance Tips
Periodically inspect fuses, terminals, and rubber boots, especially in marine or damp environments.
Use dielectric grease on the terminals to minimize corrosion.
Keep spare blade fuses nearby for quick replacements.
Clean the panel surface with a soft dry cloth — avoid harsh abrasives or high-pressure water jets.
Tighten connectors if vibration or movement causes loosening.
