[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 561507, member: 250"] As has been said the 1way & 2way connections are the L1 & L2 and the Com is the ~ terminal.. But MORE important.. You need to get a CPC (earth) connection onto those metal faceplates... or if the cables do not have an earth wire, you need to swap them out for plastic switches...!!! The earth terminal is essential for safe operation of the switch, not an optional terminal that can be ignored! The new switch should have had a bit of paper with it, giving wiring instructions and some wording such as "This accessory must be earthed" [/QUOTE]
