Hi, My pull cord broke on my bathroom light, Whilst i was buying a new one i asked in the shop if they are hard to fit and was told that they are pretty easy. Except on the old switch there are 5 wires 1 earth 2 red and 2 black. on the new switch there is only room for 4 cables the earth and 3 others, the are labeled com-1 L2 and L1. Would very much appreciate your help with this.
I assume this pull cord switch is Not used for two way switching. Make the connections as follows;
Com = live feed in (RED)
L1 = switched live out to bulb/light (RED)
L2 = Not used for one way switching
Earth terminal =earth cable (GREEN/YELLOW)
The two black cables (NEUTRALS) require connecting together. This is normally achieved by inserting them in a single section of 5 amp terminal strip inside the switch housing. If there isn't room for it in the switch, make the two black connections in a terminal box mounted in the ceiling space above the switch.
