Sorry gary, if you read back you'll see what i was actually doing. No no timer thats too easy. What im doing is switching the lights slightly different. Basically the come on when it starts to get light and switch off when it gets dark - the opposite to normal operation of a photo cell. This is...

its all 110volt lights, photo cell, contactor . There are 6 flourescent lights all 5 ft. I think they were 58 w each.

Thanks gary. Yes the vodka isn't doing to bad at the moment i can still read you messages. Yes its running on a 110volt system.

yes i have 1 and 2, R1 and R2, R3 and R4, 3 and 4. Then in the middle part the is A1 and A2, 21no and 22no, 13 nc and 14 nc. So do i connect my switch from the photo cell to 13nc then perminant live to 1 and load to 2? Then a perminant live and neutral accross A1 and A2? Sorry to keep...

your right!!!

This is exactly what my idea was and its so simple but the client doesn't want it this way. RRrrrr

thanks jack, ok so let me get this clear. So say i want normally closed. Referring to my quality diagram above, do i connect between 13nc and 14nc, OR 1 and 2. ( check my sketch above) Thanks

Yes this is a 110v system

There was no diagrams of the internal wiring at all. I gathered that photo cells normally works the oposite way round to i want it to work but i was told i could do this with the normally closed contacts.???? Am i right in saying i would need to energise the coil perminatly with the live in A1...

Yes well done it is. Actually i was quite impressed with myself :lol:

ok I have added a picture. Change of plan now though. I want the lights to operate by a photocell, but, i want the lights to be on when it is light outside and go off when its dark - strange i know. I have added a picture (excuse the quality of it) so any idea of how to do this, i know its...

yes that sounds about right. I'm in a internet cafe so i cant upload or anything here but will do tonight.

ok so i have a1 and a2, a1 being live from switch and A2 being neutral. Where will the load go? and where does the perminant live go? |Thanks again

hi thanks i cant as i don't have a camera with me. its a square d number lc1d128f7 if that helps. thanks

Hi, can someone point me in the right direction please. I'm wiring up some lights controled by a contactor. I haven't connected a contactor up before and the are no instructions with it. I have the load (lights) a switch (timeclock) and the supply. where do all the live and neutrals go in...
