Overview and Product Philosophy

FEDE electrical mechanisms prioritize durability, safety, and environmental responsibility. Manufactured in Europe with advanced machinery and high-quality materials, the products undergo strict industrial quality control. The design aims to simplify installation through universal multifunctional products with compact dimensions that enhance cooling and ease of mounting. Environmental compliance is ensured by adhering to European norms, with most products being recyclable.

Materials and Safety Features

• Insulating Components: Made from self-extinguishing thermosetting UREA for enhanced durability and safety.
• Switch Mechanisms: Equipped with modern automatic connectors ensuring firm fastening and optimal electrical contact.
• Sockets: Incorporate the Open Captive Screw System (OCSS) for quick, single-operation screw tightening with floating etched nuts to prevent cable slippage.
• Switch Contacts: Utilize high-purity silver (900/1000) for superior wear resistance and performance.
• Alignment: Lateral slots in plastic supports guarantee precise plate alignment.

Product Range and Specifications

Switching Mechanisms

Includes one-way, two-way, intermediate, double pole, and push-button switches rated at 10 A and 16 A (250 V~). Available in narrow and wide keys, with or without diffusers, and in white, beige, and black. Control switches with red diffusers are also offered.

Rotary Switches

One-way and double one-way rotary switches rated at 10 A and 25 A, with options for pilot lamps (sold separately) and key-operated mechanisms. Signal lamps available in white, blue, and amber.

Switching Mechanisms for Blinds

Includes dimmers and switches with electrical and mechanical interlocking to prevent simultaneous up/down commands. Rated for resistive loads up to 500 W at 250 V and inductive loads such as low-tension halogen lamps and domestic fans. Equipped with a 2.5 A fuse compliant with EN 60127-2.

Socket Outlets

Wide variety conforming to French, German, American, and universal standards, rated 10 A to 16 A at 250 V or 125 V (American types). Features include screwless terminals, integrated child protection devices, and multiple cover sizes and colors.

Other Mechanisms and Accessories

• Neon lamps and red pilot lights for signaling.
• Buzzer units.
• Cord outlets with clamps for cables up to 8 mm diameter.
• Cord-operated push-buttons with keys.
• Blank plates and fuse holders.
• Crystal fuse-links available in 4 A, 6 A, 10 A, and 16 A.

TV/SAT Socket Outlets

Available in miniCOMPACT, COMPACT, and ecoCOMPACT series, these outlets feature compact diecast boxes (23 mm depth excluding connector), high screening (>90 dB), ultra-wide bandwidth (4–2350 MHz), silver-plated contacts, and compatibility with analog and digital TV/SAT signals. Units are linkable for modular faceplates and use clamp screws for secure cable connections.

Reference Models and Signal Attenuation

Models support through and end connections with diplex SAT + DC/TV signals, some with isolation or diode protection. Signal attenuation ranges from approximately -2.2 dB to -22 dB depending on frequency band and configuration.

Installation and Usage Recommendations

• Compact dimensions facilitate easy cable fixation and mounting in wall boxes.
• Use appropriate covers (referenced in documentation) to ensure safety and aesthetics.
• Add graphic symbol descriptors to product codes when applicable.
• Pilot lamps for switches and rotary switches are sold separately and should be ordered accordingly.

Critical Parameters and Standards

• Voltage ratings: Primarily 250 V~ for European products; 125 V~ for American types.
• Current ratings: From 5 A (special keys) up to 25 A (rotary switches).
• Fuse protection: 2.5 A fuse cartridge compliant with UNE EN 60127-2.
• Material standards: Self-extinguishing UREA insulation; silver contacts for durability.
• Environmental compliance: Manufactured per European norms with recyclability considerations.

Summary of Best Practices

• Select FEDE products for a balance of high quality and cost-effective installation.
• Use universal multifunctional mechanisms to reduce installation complexity and time.
• Ensure proper use of covers and accessories to maintain safety and product integrity.
• Adhere to electrical ratings and fuse specifications to prevent overload and extend product life.
• Leverage modularity and compatibility of TV/SAT outlets for flexible installations.

Outlet Reference Scheme and Descriptions

Key outlet models include:

• FD001F: PTV/SAT with IEC male connector.
• FD001F/DC: Same as FD001F with DC pass-through.
• FD002F: PTV/SAT with F connector and DC pass-through.
• FD003F series: PTV/SAT-P with F connector, DC pass-through, and diode between OUT-IN.
• FD004F series: PTV/SAT-P with F connector, DC pass-through between IN and Tap.
• FD506F series: PTV/SAT-P with isolated IEC male connector and DC pass-through between IN and OUT.
• FD011F: PTV/SAT-DMX/U3 with separate TV input and SAT + DC input.

Frequency coverage spans 4 to 2350 MHz, supporting both TV and SAT signals with DC pass-through.

Technical Parameters and Attenuation Values

• Insertion losses for through and tap ports range from ~1 dB to over 4 dB depending on model and frequency.
• Reverse isolation can reach up to 40 dB in some models.
• Tap attenuation options include -2 dB, -4 dB, -6 dB, -10 dB, -14 dB, -18 dB, and -22 dB, enabling flexible signal distribution.

Compact and EcoCompact Outlet Series

The Compact series includes models with F and IEC male connectors designed for diplexed TV/SAT signals with high screening and wide bandwidth. The ecoCOMPACT series (model FD090F) features a diecast adapter with high screening and mounting holes for additional adapters, supporting analog and digital TV/SAT signals.

Support and Fixing Mechanisms

Polyamide supports (FD16-BAST) are provided for mechanism fixing, with clear installation orientation marked by "UP" and "ARRIBA" arrows.

Phone Sockets and Covers

• Narrow covers for phone sockets (FD17082 series).
• Wide covers for 6-contact phone sockets (RJ-11) and 8-contact computer sockets (RJ-45, category 5).
• Adaptor covers for dual RJ-45 connectors.
