One- to four-gang rocker faces
The one-gang face has a broad single rocker. The two-, three- and four-gang faces divide the control area into progressively narrower rockers. Gang count describes the actuator arrangement on the face, allowing the front to be matched to the number of controls required at a wall position.
The ABG series specifies tempered glass for the facing. The plate and rocker divisions form the room-side selection, while the mechanism and rear mounting assembly perform different roles.
Separate rocker faces provide physical control divisions. A touch panel instead marks its control zones on a different front arrangement. The two styles use different actuators and mechanism references, even when they share a color scheme with surrounding switches or sockets.
Choose the gang count according to the controls scheduled at each position. A single broad rocker creates a different face from several narrow divisions. Room schedules can use more than one gang count while retaining the ABG facing and selected color.
Each gang count has separate 1 Way and 2 Way references. Specify the mechanism reference together with the gang count. The electrical switch schedule determines which reference belongs at each control position.
Gold, gray and black are the listed series colors. Coordinate the chosen color with nearby sockets, door hardware and other wall fittings. Keep color separate from the gang count and way reference so an appearance selection does not substitute for the required mechanism.
| Series & product type | ABG mechanical rocker wall switches |
|---|---|
| Selected mechanism | ABG tempered-glass rocker family, 1 Way references in 1, 2, 3 or 4 gang |
| Gang configurations | 1 gang, 2 gang, 3 gang or 4 gang |
| Facing material | Tempered glass; concealed mechanism and rear-body materials are separate |
| Listed colors | Gold, gray or black |
| Series designation | 86 Type-ABG series |
| Mounting interfaces | Actual outer plate, wall opening, fixing positions and back-box dimensions identified for the selected assembly |
| Minimum order | Quoted per model at your project quantity. Where a factory model has a production minimum, the quotation states it; small quantities can ship with the rest of your project in one container. |
| Standards & certificates | Matched to the ordered model: tell us the standards or certificates your market or project requires, and we confirm in writing which documents are available for this configuration before you order. |

The plate drawing separates outer face width W and height H from the opening prepared in the wall. The plate covers a different envelope from the rear assembly. Actual fixing positions, opening dimensions and finished wall thickness belong to the selected mounting detail.
A back box needs the actual mechanism depth, fixing arrangement and space for its connections. Those dimensions come from the mechanism itself, beyond the face and its series designation. Coordinate the selected assembly with the wall construction before the surrounding finish is completed.
Identify switches by room, position, gang count and way reference. The selected mechanism is matched to the required electrical application and its actual ratings. Front material, color.
Count each gang-and-way reference at its scheduled wall position. A four-gang 1 Way selection and a four-gang 2 Way selection are different mechanism references. Keep spare units and repeated-room quantities clear in the switch schedule.
Tempered-glass facing and the chosen gold, gray or black color form the appearance package. Matching sockets, touch panels and other accessories are their own product selections, each with its own reference on the order.
Back boxes, fixing parts and other mounting components are listed with the actual assembly where included. Preparing openings, supporting the box and repairing the wall finish are separate site tasks.
Packing protects the glass faces and preserves mechanism and room references. Quantities and destination set the freight. Cabling, circuit work, testing and final electrical installation are each itemized according to the project order. Tell us the rooms and quantities and we will put this on one quote with everything else you are ordering, and show you what fits in a container.
It describes the number of separate rockers on the face: one, two, three or four. Select that arrangement for the controls required at a wall position, then identify the way reference and actual mechanism as well.
Yes. The ABG rocker range lists 1 Way and 2 Way references for each of the four gang counts. Both the gang count and way reference belong in the order.
They are a separate mechanical rocker configuration. The rocker face has physical control divisions, while the touch-panel front uses touch zones. Match the actual actuator and mechanism type in the room schedule.
The listed series colors are gold, gray and black. Color is independent of the one- to four-gang arrangement and the 1 Way or 2 Way mechanism reference.
Use the actual plate, opening, fixing and back-box measurements for the selected assembly. The 86 Type-ABG series designation is separate from the installation dimensions shown on a mounting detail.
The rating comes from the switch mechanism behind the glass face. We state the rated current and voltage of each mechanism in the quotation so your electrician can match it to the circuits.
