The cover plate is the visible face of a modular switchboard. This Bingo plate is white with a bright chrome inner trim and comes with its base (frame): the base screws to the 8 module HZ box and holds the switch modules, and the plate finishes the board with a clean, flat front.
With four 2-module openings in one long row, it suits main bedroom and living-room boards where a long, horizontal plate is wanted.
What fits on an 8 module plate
- Four switches, a fan regulator and a 2-module socket.
- Six switches and a 2-module socket.
Module widths vary a little between switch ranges (some 16A sockets take 3 modules), so count the modules of the switches you plan to use before choosing the size, and leave a module or two spare for later.
Where to use it
- New switchboards on concealed boxes in homes, flats and villas.
- Upgrading old or yellowed plates to a fresh white-and-chrome look.
- Offices, shops, clinics, hotels and showrooms.
How to install
- Switch off the supply at the MCB.
- Screw the base frame to the lugs of the concealed box.
- Wire the modules and clip them into the base.
- Fit the cover plate over the base.
Electrical work should be done by a licensed electrician with the supply switched off.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the base (frame) included?
- Yes. The plate is supplied with its base frame.
- What does "8 module HZ" mean?
- HZ stands for horizontal: all eight modules sit in one long row. It needs an 8 module horizontal plate — not an 8 module square (two rows of four) plate.
- Which box does it fit?
- An 8 module HZ concealed box. Our 8 module HZ concealed metal box is the matching size.
- Will my existing modular switches fit?
- Modular switches share a common module width, but clip designs differ between ranges. Switches from a matching range fit best; if you are mixing brands, check one module first.
- What goes in an unused slot?
- A blank (filler) module, which closes the opening and keeps the board neat.
- How do I clean a white and chrome plate?
- Switch off, then wipe with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the chrome trim.
