You need a toggle switch on-off-on (or 1-0-1), i.e. a 3-position switch with
center position. The hole in the front panel is 6 mm. It seems that both
switches are suitable but look a bit different (different levers). If the
module is new you should agree the procedure with Schneiders Buero to avoid
the loss off warranty.
