Hi all I have a ip55 switch turning on my uv clarifiers to the pond,I had reason to disconnect the wiring from it, idiot mode set in and I forgot to make a note of the wiring set up,looking at it from the back the switch has 2 connection at the top left side 1, right side L' under the no1 is the other conection no 2. I have a live and negative plus the 3 wirers from the uv's, anyone tell me the connections please before I blow the fuses again for the 8th time, thanks Reg7

What core colours do you have as your supply feed and what core colours are the cables for the load(UV)?
A picture of what you have would be nice!

Why not just use your multimeter on continuity setting to identify which switch terminals are which?
Would take a time measured in seconds, not minutes.....

Hi, thanks for your response to my question, the feed wires are RED (live)-BLACK (negative) - YELLOW/GREEN (earth).The uv's have BROWN (live)-BLUE (negative) - YELLOW/GREEN (earth).I am not to good on the computer but I will try to do a photo of the back of the switch and send it,Thanks Reg7
