You must connect the wires to the correct terminals.
The red wires must be connected to the
appropriate terminals marked L.
The black wires must be connected to the
appropriate terminals marked N.
The bare wires (sleeved green/yellow) must be
connected to the appropriate earth terminal
marked .
Where a mounting box earth terminal is provided,
connect a length of green/yellow sleeved wire
between this terminal and the earth terminal on
the unit.
When neons are fitted, one lead should be
connected to ‘L’ and the other to ‘N’. Neon leads
are not colour coded as it does not matter which
way round they are fitted.
4. Insert the bared ends of the wires into their
appropriate terminals and securely tighten both
terminal screws (see Fig.1) ensuring all
conductors are clamped.
5. Carefully push wired unit back into the
mounting box, ensuring cables are not trapped
or pinched.
6. Locate and tighten frontplate fixing screws. Do
not overtighten screws, to do so may damage
frontplate or box threads.
The completed installation should be tested in
accordance with the current IEE Wiring
Regulations by a qualified electrician.
If in any doubt, contact MK Technical Sales
Service Department. Telephone 01268 563720.
C. INSTALLATION

(Section A).
A. Products supplied with a mounting box
i. Separate the lid accessory from the box by
removing the two fixing screws.
ii. Remove appropriate knock-outs from the
box for incoming and outgoing cables as
required. It is good practice on metal boxes
to fit a grommet where conduit is not used.
iii. Fix box securely to the wall.
B. Products without mounting box
i. Remove frontplate fixing screws from their
location on the back of the frontplate, or
from the plastic strip attachment.
ii. Ensure the mounting box is firmly secured to
the wall.
Electrical Connections
1. Strip back LOAD and SUPPLY outer cable
sheaths and trim wires to the appropriate
length to allow cable ends to reach the
terminals.
2. Carefully strip red and black insulation by 20mm
(0.8 inches).
3. Slide a length of green/yellow insulating sleeve
on to a bare earth wire.
IMPORTANT
SUPPLY cables are those coming from the
distribution board. LOAD cables are those going
to the appliance.
