Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Zone 2 Switch Mechanism 2-Way 10A 250V | White
The Clipsal 30MZ2 is a 2-way switch mechanism rated 10A at 250V AC, marked "ZONE 2" for labelled circuit identification. The 30MZ2 uses a single rocker actuator and flush device mounting, and forms part of the Clipsal Standard Series (Series 30) mechanism range. It carries the manufacturer model number 30MZ2-WE and is manufactured to meet the EU RoHS directive.
Multi-switch plates in hallways, stairwells, and open-plan areas often need each rocker clearly identified so the correct zone is switched. The 30MZ2 carries a printed ZONE 2 marking on the rocker surface, which removes guesswork when several mechanisms sit on one plate. Its 2-way switch function lets one light be controlled from two locations, a common requirement on stair and passage circuits. The single rocker actuator keeps the operating feel consistent across a multi-gang layout.
Licensed electricians fit the 30MZ2 as a mechanism-only unit onto Standard Series grid plates, so a plate can be built up rocker by rocker to suit the job. The flush mount design drops into standard grid and surround assemblies without extra parts. Buying the mechanism on its own keeps stock simple, since one grid plate can be populated with marked and unmarked rockers as the layout demands.
Features
- 2-way switch function — the 30MZ2 lets one light or load be controlled from two separate switch points on stair and passage circuits.
- ZONE 2 surface marking — the rocker is printed with "ZONE 2" so labelled circuits stay identifiable on multi-gang plates.
- Rated 10A 250V AC — carries up to 10 amps at 250 volts, suitable for general lighting and small load switching.
- Single rocker actuator — one rocker per mechanism gives a standard operating feel across a grid plate.
- Flush device mounting — the 30MZ2 sits flush in Standard Series grid and surround assemblies for a level finish.
- Mechanism-only supply — supplied as the switch mechanism alone, so a plate can be populated to match the required layout.
- White glossy finish — the white rocker and body carry a glossy surface finish consistent with the Standard Series range.
- Standard Series (Series 30) — part of the Clipsal Series 30 mechanism system used across domestic and commercial fit-outs.
- EU RoHS compliant — manufactured to meet the EU RoHS directive for restricted hazardous substances.
- Mercury free — the 30MZ2 contains no mercury, per the Schneider Electric product environmental profile.
- Not a complete switch — supplied without a grid plate or cover, so it is not a ready-to-mount finished switch on its own.
- Compact mechanism footprint — sized to the Standard Series 30 grid so several mechanisms fit a single plate.
Where to use
- Stairwell and passage lighting — the 30MZ2 suits 2-way circuits where a light is switched from the top and bottom of a stair.
- Hallway multi-gang plates — marked rockers help identify each zone on a plate carrying several switches.
- Open-plan living areas — zone-marked switching clarifies which bank of lights each rocker controls.
- Domestic renovations — the 30MZ2 drops into existing Standard Series grid plates during switch upgrades.
- Commercial fit-outs — used on Series 30 plates in offices and retail where labelled switching aids handover.
- New residential builds — populates grid plates on lighting subcircuits during first fit.
The 30MZ2 is not weatherproof and is not rated for outdoor, damp, or wash-down locations. It is a mechanism only, so it is not suitable for use without a compatible Standard Series grid plate and cover. Do not use it on circuits above its 10A 250V AC rating.
