Overview
The Full Glass 8 Switch + 1 Fan (8M) is a premium smart switchboard panel from Beakn's Full Glass Magnetic Touch range. It replaces your entire existing switchboard with a single seamless 3mm toughened-glass surface — the same grade of glass used in smartphone screens — housing eight independent switch channels, one capacitive fan speed regulator, and two heavy-duty (HD) 20A channels for high-load appliances, all in a wide 8-module (8M) form factor.
As an 8M panel, it supports both single-phase and 3-phase electrical input, making it suitable for homes and commercial spaces with either supply type. The flat glass face features fully customizable backlit touch icons (configured to your specific layout during manufacturing), mounts magnetically with no visible screws, and is controlled via the Beakn app, voice assistants, or the included IR remote — even when the internet is down.
It is available in White, Black, and Metallic Grey and carries Beakn's longest warranty: 5 years.

Installation
Prerequisites
•Neutral wire must be available at the switchboard — this is mandatory for all Full Glass variants, including this panel. Confirm with your electrician before ordering.
•Wall box size must match 8M. If the existing box is already 8M, this is a direct replacement. If not, minor civil work is required to resize the box.
•Phase supply — single-phase or 3-phase both accepted. As an 8M panel, 3-phase input is fully supported.
What this panel replaces
The Full Glass 8 Switch + 1 Fan (8M) replaces the entire switchboard — the plate, all individual switches, and the fan regulator — with one integrated glass panel. It is not a retrofit behind an existing plate.
Wiring summary
| Terminal / channel | Load type | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Switch channel (×8) — incandescent / resistive | Lights, resistive loads | 800W per channel |
| Switch channel (×8) — LED | LED lights | 120W or 6 units per channel |
| Switch channel (×8) — inductive | Motors, transformers | 400W per channel |
| HD channel (×2) | Heavy loads (AC, geyser, pump, oven) | 20A / 2500W per HD channel |
| Fan channel (×1) | Ceiling / exhaust fan | Up to 80W |
Mounting
1.Fix the wall box (8M) flush to the wall during construction or renovation.
2.Wire all circuits to the panel's terminal block.
3.Attach the glass face to the magnetic mount — it clicks into place; no screws required.
4.For service, lift the glass face off magnetically — no tools needed.
Custom icons
Specify your layout (what each of the 8 switch channels and the fan channel controls, plus room name if needed) when ordering. Icons are configured during manufacturing. If circuit functions change after installation, icon overlays can be reassigned.
WiFi setup
•Connects directly to your home WiFi — no hub required.
•Works with 2.4GHz networks (standard for smart home devices).
IR remote
•Ships in the box; no separate purchase needed.
•Operates the panel directly without WiFi or internet — point and use.
Free installation

FAQ
Q: Does this panel need a neutral wire?
Yes. A neutral wire must be present at the board. This applies to all Full Glass Magnetic Touch variants. Your electrician can confirm its availability before installation.
Q: Does the 8M panel support 3-phase supply?
Yes. 3-phase input is supported on all 6M panels and larger, including this 8M panel. Single-phase is also fully supported.
Q: How do I control the fan speed?
Through the Beakn app (stepless slider), via voice assistant, or via the included IR remote. The panel uses a capacitive fan regulator rated up to 80W.
Q: What can the 2 HD channels be used for?
Any heavy-load appliance — geysers, air conditioners, water pumps, ovens, or other loads up to 20A / 2500W per channel. HD channels have a dedicated 20A relay, separate from the standard switch channels.
