I don't know this section is right place to post this question . If this section is wrong to ask electrical stuff,please any moderate change it to proper place,thanks.

Today I have bought photo control (selcon) to install at in front of my house fluorescent light to light on and off automatically at night and day time. In the photo control device have written LOAD as red color wire, neutral as white color wire and line as black color wire. My doubt is which one is live wire, is it load or line? Please some one help me !

After google i got some info how to connect. But still not understand.

its an imported device?

CASE 1
Americans
Line -> Black
Load -> Red
Neutral -> White

CASE 2
Malaysian
Earth -> Green
Live -> Brown
Neutral -> Blue

for case 1, there's no EARTH leakage provided, therefore u can connect either Black or Red it doesnt matter, if u dont use RED just duct-tape it dont strip the copper naked.

Yeah imported from Japan.

Nope. Is "Line" (Black color wire) is similar to "Live" (Brown or Red wire)? So what is stand for "Load" (red color wire) written in the device?

just bought 1 SELCON AS-2403A from Jalan Pasar (Pudu), KL @ RM23.

For the benefit of those who want to install the SELCON AS-2403A Photo Control device DIY. The picture below shows how it was being done by my electrician.





NOTE: Just ensure that your light shines well away from the sensor when it is turned on.

Hope you find this helpful.

Just checking if I want to connect one sensor to two switches (located on one switch panel) is it possible?
I have two porch lights and each have their own switch

Got this Selcon photo sensor from a light shop yesterday, done DIY installation today.
Let's hope it works perfectly tonight... and all the nights following. :-)

I put it right beside the light fixture, I hope it works.
