Additional related video.
The Clipsal Iconic 49M-VW is a three-position toggle switch mechanism rated 250V, 10A, designed for rocker control in lighting and switchable loads. The 49M-VW is a mechanism-only component intended for flush mounting into standard Clipsal Iconic backing plates and frames, allowing electricians to specify precise control functionality within the Clipsal Iconic range.
Three-position switch mechanisms are common in applications requiring multiple states: up-off-down roller shutter control, sensor-off-on configurations, or auto-off-manual fan speed selection. The 49M-VW blank mechanism accommodates custom rocker covers and labels to suit the specific application on site, reducing inventory complexity for contractors and reducing the cost of custom fitouts by avoiding manufacturer-specific labelled units.
Licensed electricians select the 49M-VW for its interchangeability with all Clipsal Iconic backing plates, meaning a single stock holding of 49M-VW mechanisms covers multiple installation scenarios across a job. The rocker control is consistent with standard Clipsal Iconic single and double mechanisms, so training and installation speed remain uniform across the range. The blank dolly design permits on-site labelling or the use of custom rocker covers for bespoke control identification, which is valuable for rental properties, commercial installations, and retrofit work where standard labelling may not suit the end user's needs.
The Clipsal Iconic 49M-VW is not suitable for outdoor exposure, wet areas, or locations subject to splash or rain; the mechanism is rated for interior dry locations only. The 49M-VW is a mechanism component only and does not include the backing plate, frame, or rocker cover—these items must be ordered separately. Certain applications (such as outdoor weatherproof three-position control) require a different mechanism with IP rating and sealed construction, not the 49M-VW.
Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal Iconic 49M-VW (49M-VW)
"Much nicer that the older style switches. Would be better if they would return to off on their own." — Russ
(49M-VW)
The 49M-VW is a mechanism only. It does not include the backing plate, frame, or rocker cover. You will need to order those components separately from the Clipsal Iconic range to create a complete switch assembly.
Yes. The 49M-VW mechanism is fully interchangeable with all Clipsal Iconic single, double, and triple gang backing plates. Simply remove the existing mechanism and install the 49M-VW in its place. No modification to the backing plate or wall box is required.
The blank dolly is a rocker toggle with no printed label or icon. This permits you to use custom rocker covers with your own labels (e.g. "UP–OFF–DOWN" for shutters or "Auto–Off–Manual" for fans), or to add on-site labelling. Pre-labelled alternatives are available separately: the 49MLBLUOD-VW (Up-Off-Down) and 49MLBLAOM-VW (Auto-Off-Manual) rockers offer standard configurations if you prefer not to label on-site.
The 49M-VW is rated for any lighting or switchable load circuit protected by a 10A MCB or RCD. Common applications include roller shutter control (three-position up-off-down), fan speed selection, sensor-based lighting override (sensor-off-on), and multi-state equipment control. Always confirm the load current does not exceed 10A and that the circuit protection matches.
No. The 49M-VW is rated for interior dry locations only. It is not weatherproof and should not be used in bathrooms, kitchens (splash zones), laundries, external walls, or outdoor installations. For outdoor three-position control, a weatherproof mechanism with an IP rating is required.
The 49M-VW mechanism has three screw terminal positions for field-side connection. Consult the installation diagram included with the mechanism and the equipment manual (shutter motor, fan controller, or load device) to confirm terminal assignment. Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with AS/NZS 3000.
