Aspect Products
Please keep this leaflet for future reference
GENERAL NOTES
1. The MK ‘Aspect’ range of products consists of the main
product, complete with its support frame and clipping medium,
plus a separate front plate.
2. The front plate is supplied loose to aid installation.
3. Make sure not to crush or deform the spring steel clips situated
along one edge of the product support frame.
4. A gasket is also supplied with each product, which may prove
useful on uneven walls. See note 5 below.
5. Using the gasket with all switches and the German socket, will
ensure full compliance with the appropriate standards.
6. Both standards set out to guarantee full engagement of the
front plate on uneven surfaces, even when there is a mismatch
of as much as 1mm between the distance the main body of the
product is from the wall and that of the front plate.
7. Where no gasket is used, if thick wallpapers are cut such that
they fit around the support frame and therefore remain under
the edge if the front plate, full plate engagement with the clips
may be restricted.

8. On normal walls, where this degree of uneven surface is not
normally experienced, a more pleasing aesthetic flush fit can be
achieved by omitting the gasket.
INSTALLATION
1. Ensure the depth of the back box is correct for the product and
that it is fitted securely to the wall.
2. Install the cables in the normal way and , using the fixing screws
supplied, mount the product, still minus its front plate, to the
wall. It is important the correct headed screws are used as any
other may clash with the rear of the front plate.
3. Do not over tighten the screws, so as to prevent damage or
distortion to the product or support frame. Adjust so the frame
sits squarely on the wall and the spring steel clip is parallel with
the edge of the frame.
4. Once the module has been mounted to the wall, carefully take
the front plate and with all 1-gang and landscape mounted
2-gang products, hook the left hand side of the plate onto the
product support frame. Ensure the apertures line up
north/south with switch/socket etc as the right hand side of the
plate is slowly lowered over the module.
5. Lastly, while pushing the plate towards the right, apply finger
pressure down the right hand side of the plate as shown in
Fig. 1a and continue to increase the pressure until the plate is
felt and heard to click into place. The clip features should now
be fully engaged.

6. When clipping a plate onto a portrait mounted 2-gang product,
hook the top edge of the plate onto the product support
frame. Then, ensuring the apertures line up with switch/socket
etc. as the bottom edge of the plate is slowly lowered over the
module.
7. This time, while pushing the plate down, apply finger pressure
along the bottom of the plate, as shown in Fig. 1b and continue
to increase the pressure until the plate is felt and heard to click
into place. The clip features should now be fully engaged.
REMOVING THE FRONT PLATE
1-gang and landscape mounted 2-gang products
1. Turn off the power supply.
2. Carefully slide a screwdriver between the ramp on the main
body of the product and the notch in the lower right hand edge
of the plate.
3. On uneven walls, make sure the screwdriver does not go
between the spring steel ramp and the wall, or damage to the
wall and/or product could result.
4. Carefully slide the blade upwards and then gently lift the
handle away from the wall, which will lever the plate away from
the first clip. See Fig. 2.
5. With the first clip released, support the plate with one hand
and continue to move the blade under the right hand side of
the plate until being removed. See Fig. 3.
