Hi
I have an inline fan with built-in timer in the shower room. It's very quiet and this causes confusion as to whether it is on or running on the timer. The pull switch has no indicator and we have had the fan left on all day as a result of this confusion.
I bought an MK2056 base with built-in neon. Apparently I can use this base with the existing 1-way pull cord switch for the extractor fan.
The base has arrived with no instructions and a pair of tails for the LED indicator.
I used my multimeter on the diode setting to try and determine the polarity of the indicator but either way around gives me no sound and a reading of 1.
Is the indicator DOA or is there more going on here than my GCSE electronics can fathom (highly likely).
I had assumed that I just needed to connect the tails from the indicator to the live and neutral of thesupply load side of the switch.
Advice gratefully received thanks.
