Why Choose the Finder 013.00 Push-Button Phase/Neutral Converter?
The Finder 013.00 is a compact and practical push-button phase/neutral converter designed to simplify the modernisation of existing electrical installations. As an accessory within the Finder 13 Series electronic relay range, this module enables existing neutral-connected push-buttons to operate compatible electronic relays, dimmers and control devices that require phase-connected push-button inputs.
The Finder 013.00 provides an efficient solution for electrical installers and maintenance engineers upgrading traditional lighting control systems. By converting an existing neutral-referenced push-button signal into a phase-referenced control signal, it allows modern switching devices to be installed without extensive modifications to the original electrical wiring. This makes it particularly useful for retrofit projects in residential, commercial and building automation installations.
Featuring a compact electronic module with pre-wired connections, the Finder 013.00 is designed for integration into compatible push-button control circuits. Its straightforward installation concept helps reduce rewiring requirements, minimise installation time and support the transition from conventional switching arrangements to modern electronic relay and dimmer systems.

Reliable Push-Button Signal Conversion for Electrical Installations
Traditional electrical installations may use push-buttons connected to the neutral conductor to control lighting relays or switching devices. However, many modern electronic relays and dimmers require their push-button control inputs to receive a phase-referenced signal. This difference in control wiring can make replacing older switching equipment more complicated, particularly where the existing wiring is difficult to access or modify.
The Finder 013.00 phase/neutral converter addresses this challenge by providing an interface between an existing neutral-connected push-button and a compatible phase-input control device. When the push-button is operated, the converter provides the appropriate phase-referenced control signal, allowing the new electronic switching device to respond without requiring the original push-button wiring arrangement to be fundamentally changed.
This functionality makes the Finder 013.00 particularly valuable for upgrading lighting installations to newer electronic relay and dimmer technology. The module supports a more straightforward retrofit process while retaining existing push-button positions and helping minimise disruption to the installation.
The Finder 013.00 is a control signal conversion accessory rather than a standalone switching relay or dimmer. It must be connected according to the manufacturer's wiring instructions and used with compatible equipment. Installation and verification should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrical professional.
Typical Applications
- Retrofitting existing lighting control installations with modern electronic relays.
- Converting neutral-connected push-button circuits for compatible phase-input devices.
- Residential lighting control upgrades and modernisation projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Finder 013.00 used for?
The Finder 013.00 is a push-button phase/neutral converter used to connect existing neutral-wired push-buttons to compatible electronic relays and dimmers that require phase-connected push-button control inputs. It is primarily designed for electrical installation retrofitting and lighting control upgrades.
How does the Finder 013.00 phase/neutral converter work?
The converter interfaces with an existing neutral-connected push-button circuit and provides a phase-referenced control signal suitable for a compatible electronic switching device. This allows the original push-button wiring to be retained while upgrading the connected relay or dimmer.
Can the Finder 013.00 be used when upgrading existing lighting circuits?
Yes. The Finder 013.00 is specifically designed for retrofitting existing electrical installations where push-buttons are connected to neutral but the replacement electronic relay or dimmer requires phase-connected control. It helps avoid extensive modifications to the original wiring.
Which Finder products are compatible with the 013.00 converter?
The Finder 013.00 is listed as an accessory within the Finder 13 Series, with the manufacturer providing an application example using the Finder 13.22 electronic relay.
