On/Off switch for printer

I find it inconvenient to always have to reach to the back to turn off the printer, so I designed an under-table switch box. The switch is discreet, takes up no space on the table, and you can conveniently turn the device on and off from the front. The housing can, of course, also be used for other devices or machines

!!! Warning!!! ⚡230V⚡

If you are not familiar with electrical wiring, you should have the wiring done by a professional!

I assume no responsibility for any damages!

Material list:

Recommended filament 1 or filament 2

1 x rocker switch 230V / 16A / 4-pole or rocker switch 230V / 30A / 4-pole

4 x flat connectors

4 x BT 2.5x8

2 x BT 2.5x16

1 x Wago terminal block

1 x connecting cable of sufficient length (or 2 short ones)

Assembly instructions:

1. Cut the cable at the appropriate spot, or cut off the unnecessary plug from the short cables

    

   

    

2. Push the cut ends through the two rear holes and the front hole and strip the ends

    

   

    

3. Crimp the appropriate flat connectors onto the four conductors and plug them onto the switch contacts. Observe the wiring diagram of the plug!

    

   

   

4. Push the plug into the opening with some pressure until it locks into place and connect the ground conductors with a Wago terminal block

    

   

    

5. Secure the cables at the back with the holder and the two BT 2.5x16 screws

6. Screw on the cover, plug the connector into the socket, and check with a multimeter at the other connector if it is properly wired and if the indicator light illuminates when you switch to ON

    

   

    

7. Unplug the cable from the socket and mount the box in a suitable location
8. Connect the cable and rejoice, for you have succeeded!!!
