Hi,
I am looking to replace a lighting pull cord switch, situated in an airing cupboard, which seems to have failed (I have tried using a number of working light bulbs in the applicable light socket, but with no effect).
The current switch has three wires connected to it: red/black/earth. The red wire is connected to the COM terminal; the black wire to the A1 terminal; the earth wire is connected to the earth terminal. There is an A2 terminal which has no wires connected to it.
The replacement switch can be used for 1-way or 2-way operation. As there are only two wires (red and black) together with an earth wire, I presume that the new switch should be wired as a 1-way switch. To operate as a 1-way switch, the instructions show a wire connected to the L2 terminal, another wire connected to the COM-L terminal and the earth cable connected to the earth terminal.
My question is which wire(s), red or black, is connected to the L2 and COM-L connectors?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
