Installation & Wiring
Wall box requirement
•This is a 12M panel — the wall box (back box) must match the 12M gang size.
•In new construction: specify a 12M wall box during electrical rough-in.
•In existing homes: if the current box is already 12M, this is a direct replacement. If not, minor civil work (chasing, resizing) is required before installation.
•Beakn offers free installation in 8 cities — confirm availability at point of purchase.
Neutral wire
•A neutral wire is mandatory at the board. This applies to all Full Glass variants without exception.
•Your electrician must confirm neutral availability during site survey before ordering.
•Most modern boards already carry a neutral; older boards may need a neutral run from the distribution board.
Phase input
•The 12M panel supports both single-phase and 3-phase input.
•3-phase capability is available on all 6M panels and larger — the 12M qualifies.
•For 3-phase installations, wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician in compliance with local electrical codes.
HD channels
•There are 2 HD channels on this panel, each rated at 20A / 2500W.
•These are intended for heavy loads: geysers, air conditioners, washing machines, ovens, or any high-draw appliance.
•Wire your highest-draw appliances to the HD channels; use standard switch channels (max 800W resistive) for lighting and lower loads.
Load limits per channel type
| Load type | Max per standard channel | Max per HD channel |
|---|
| Incandescent / resistive | 800W | 2500W (20A) |
| LED | 120W or 6 units | — |
| Inductive (motors, transformers) | 400W | — |
Wiring summary
1.Confirm 12M wall box is installed (or arrange resizing).
2.Confirm neutral wire present at the board.
3.Connect phase/s (single or 3-phase) and neutral to the panel's input terminals.
4.Connect load wires for each of the 14 switch channels, 2 HD channels, and 2 sockets to their respective terminals.
5.Connect any 2-way switch wiring to the 2 designated 2-way positions.
6.Seat the glass face onto the magnetic mount — no screws required.
7.Power on, connect to WiFi, configure via Beakn app.
Magnetic mounting
•The glass face attaches via magnets with no visible screws.
•To service the panel (e.g., re-terminate a wire), the face simply lifts off — no tools, no disassembly.
