Please read these instructions carefully and use the product in accordance with these safety wiring instructions. Before starting any electrical work, ensure the supply is switched off at the mains. This can be done either by switching off the consumer unit or by removing the appropriate fuse. Wiring should be in accordance with the 1/4 latest edition of the IEE regulations (BS 7671). To prevent any fire hazards, always use cable of the correct rating, type and size for the application.

Any bare earth wires must be covered with appropriate green/yellow sleeving.

2. WIRE IDENTIFICATION

Wire Identification- Twin & Earth Cable.

Note- From the 1st April 2004, new colour codes for hard wire installation were introduced

EARTH= GREEN/YELLOW Sleeving

NEUTRAL= BLACK (pre Apr 04 / BLUE (after Apr 04)

LIVE= RED (pre Apr 04 / BROWN (after Apr 04)

Any bare wires must be covered with appropriate sleeving. The ends of the individual conductors should have insulation removed by approximately 10mm. Any bare earth conductors should be sleeved to within 10mm of the ends. (These details are for general information only and conductor lengths may need to be trimmed in certain installations). For lighting circuits, use sleeving of the appropriate 'live' colour to ensure clear identification of live connections. To prevent fire hazards always make sure to use cable of the correct rating and type.
