AboutJohn E. Pecore Power Quality Engineer Expertise Power Quality and Lightning protection for Burgs, Fire, CCTV, and Gate access systems. I also want to hear about Back up Generator issues effecting your electronic equipment. I know all 24 manufactures of fire alarm panels. If you ask me I will tell you who I think is the best, and who is the worst. A lot has changed in 30 years, and many consumers have no idea what they are buying, and what they should expect for reliability for their systems. The question is, why are you paying for so many repairs? In the South, re-occurring revenue is extremely important. Do you fall in that category?

I'm attempting to install an external sensor light. I have a standard 3 cable (Blue (N) Brown (L) Green (E)) and I know how to wire this into the mains (240v). The light - it has a standard cable connection block (with 4 terminals), however it has a total of 6 cables coming from the unit. Brown, green, red with a black cable and finally a blue cable with a white cable. The white, black and green go into power the light therefore these are obviously live, neutral & earth. The problem is that the red, brown and blue all go into the sensor part of the device.
When I opened up the sensor part, the red and blue are still obviously the live and neutral but what is the brown. It is connected to a black box thing on the circuit board?!
My question to you is...what should I do with the brown terminal block. It obviously needs to be powered but by what? Do I put the live into this aswell?
If you need pics or further descriptions please ask.
You are very descriptive..... I would say, leave the brown terminal block alone, I believe it might be for something else, or an accessory you did not get.
If you have no more wires, and everything marry up, go with it.
I will take a look at the pictures...and give you a reply, but I think you are done.
