Connect your input mains cable to one earth, L1 and N1, connect the load to the other earth, L2 and N2

So there IS a connection from one earth terminal to the other (although not visible), yes? I should have tested that with my ohm meter, but I was assuming that the two terminals must surely be connected... and now I am no longer at the premises.

The switch itself is a strange one. It has three red LEDs which shine through the white plastic switch fascia! (relying on the tranluciency of the plastic to be visible) - Made by Legrande... Discontinued model!. I hope that doesn;t mean it was a bad design in some way. Otherwise, I'm surprised they discontinued it, because aesthetically, I think it's nicer- than the type with a small red plastic window with a neon bulb behind.

Thanks to all for the clarifications.

They will be joined. But as you say, if ever in doubt, a quick resistance check will tell you what you need to know.

I think it was a condition of the standards in this country that the earth bar could be seen to be intact, even if not completely open, it could be seen from a side appature.

Some models become discontinued due to a change in catalogue reference. It could be just that your supplier is getting a better deal on another manufacturers products he considers of equal quality.
