You mean from the current manual switch, I should have 4 cables?
QUOTE(lj0000 @ Jun 13 2010, 03:50 PM) easy! just connect live to 1, neutral to 2. look for the original lamp switch, connect the bottom (non-live) wire and connect to 4 the original wire that connect to the switch (that goes to the lamp) now connect to 5 |

Hi Peow Yong,
I have done my switch timer and it is working fine now. You need neutral to get the device to work because without the neutral the clock wouldn't work. Here is the wiring 1 - Neutral 2 - Live 3 - <Nothing> 4 - Live 5 - Wire to light FYI, in the current switch, there must have 2 wires (In & Out). In is the live & Out is the wire to light. To test which one is live, please use a test pen. QUOTE(PeowYong @ Jul 2 2010, 11:58 AM) what if i just got the original lamp switch and i dont have the live and neutral?

QUOTE(lawrencesha @ Feb 12 2011, 03:48 PM) Does this mean if I have a light switch, with only 2 wire (live + wire to light) and no neutral (typical of all light switches!!), it will not work? All the wires are usially concealed in the wall... how to get a neutral line? No, you can't as the clock in the timer would operate without the neutral. |
