The switch cuts all connected circuits 30 seconds after the key card is removed from the slot, preventing lights, heating, and appliances from remaining active when the room is unoccupied. A backlit red arrow indicator shows the card insertion direction in low-light conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalled as the master control upstream of other room circuits, the switch handles loads up to 32A on 230V mains, making it suitable for controlling multiple circuits simultaneously including lighting, sockets, air conditioning and in-room entertainment. The 87.5mm square screwless faceplate fits UK standard single-gang back boxes with a minimum 47mm depth, and the built-in gasket provides a sealed edge against the wall surface once fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matt black finish on the steel and ABS construction gives a contemporary appearance that pairs with modern hotel interior schemes and residential smart-home setups. The screwless design means no visible fixings on the faceplate — the cover clips onto a separate metal sub-frame fixed to the back box. The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 and carries a 2-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45.75mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.25mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.5mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
