The switch activates the room's electrical circuits when a card is inserted and cuts power to non-essential circuits 30 seconds after the card is withdrawn, reducing energy consumption when the room is unoccupied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe screwless matt white faceplate measures 87.5mm square and clips onto a separate metal sub-frame that fixes to a 47mm minimum back box. The 4.3mm projection from the wall gives a low-profile appearance that suits modern commercial interiors. A backlit pink arrow above the card slot provides visual guidance for card insertion in dark rooms, and the neon indicator confirms when the switch is active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 32A rating handles the combined load of multiple circuits typically found in a hotel room, including lighting, sockets, air conditioning control and bathroom heating. The switch is certified to EN 60669-1 and carries an IP20 rating for indoor use. The matt white finish provides a neutral appearance that integrates with white or light-coloured wall treatments without the reflections of a polished or gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecessed Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
