Advanced Multi-Location Lighting Control
An intermediate switch (also known as a 3-way control system in extended wiring layouts) is essential when you need to operate a single lighting circuit from three or more distinct locations. Perfect for multi-story staircases, long hallways, open-plan living rooms, and master bedrooms with entry/bedside controls, the NUX31_IM_DG allows smooth cross-switching when paired with standard two-way switches.Equipped with a high-rated current capability of 16AX, this unit easily handles modern inductive LED lighting drivers, fluorescent fittings, and heavy initial surge currents without contact welding or premature wear.
Built with Premium Stainless Steel Strength
Unlike cheap plastic wall switches that degrade over time, the Schneider UnicaX intermediate switch utilizes high-quality Stainless Steel construction. This offers enhanced rigidity, heat resistance, and structural durability during flush-mount installation. Its smooth electromechanical rocker mechanism delivers a satisfying, tactile response with every click, designed to withstand thousands of switching cycles under daily use.
Certified Safety & Standards
Safety is non-negotiable in electrical installations. The Schneider UnicaX series is built in accordance with international and regional safety benchmarks, including IEC 60669-1 and TIS 824-2551 standards, backed by full IEC product certification. Featuring an IP20 protection rating, it safeguards the interior mechanics against solid particle ingress, making it suitable for clean indoor environments.
