How can I wire my OLD APT WIRING with this product?

The instructions are designed for new wiring and I only have one green, two black & 2 white wires. This product has Green, Black, Red and Yellow wires. The install instructions say the black goes to black & the red goes to the other black, but where does the yellow go to? Do I pigtail the black to the yellow? What do I do?

    OK I found out the hard way that the red is a neutral wire and goes to the white ones (why not yellow?) The old green wire looked black and the product fizzled, the wires went zap and it's fried. Back to OSH tomorrow... Grrrrr!!!!!!

SOURCE: Trimatron 3 way push on off dimmer switch

One wire is the common and the other two are the travelers.The trick is to find which one is which.... If you can see into the electrical box check to see if one of the red wires and the black wire are from the same cable, if they are then more than likely those two wires are the travelers; you can also look at the other switch and see which two wires are on the brass colored screws, those would also be travelers. The common is usually the wire that is on the black colored screw. Once you figure out which wire is your common, I'm thinking that it is one of your red wires, you would attach that wire to the black wire on the dimmer and the other two wires to the 2 red wires on your dimmer.

SOURCE: Have a Leviton dimmer with red, black and green

You are correct in assuming green is the ground and connects to bare copper wire. Black is always the HOT wire and should be attached to the black wire. Red wire connects to white wire.

SOURCE: I have a trimatron dimmer which has a black, red,

When you take the existing switch out of the wall, the existing switch will have one black screw and two gold screws. The wire that is connected to the black screw of the existing switch (probably on of the black wires from the box) connects to the black wire on the new dimmer. The other two wires (one black and one red from the box) that are connected to the two gold screws on the existing switch will connect to the two red wires on the new dimmer. Basically, wire from black screw goes to new black wire and wires from gold screws go to new red wires.

You can see the wire colors for your speakers. I found this diagram in my database, for your vehicle. Didn't your new radio come with instructions?
I'm not a stereo person, just thought the diagram might help?

20 year old Hampton Bay fan requires new 3-speed pull chain fan switch replacement. I did not copy the wiring pattern for the L, 1, 2 and 3 positions. There are 3-wires: black, white and blue.

Typically AC wire protocol designated black = line voltage (means \'death\') and white is neutral (cold).

The blue one will be a switched line to the motor and a meter capable of checking continuity should allow you to determine the proper wiring.

New fixture installation

Fixture is not identified.
Usually each light fixture is held in place with 2 screws -or- a center nut.
Remove old light and you can see 2 wire nuts covering black wire and white wire, and possibly another wire nut covering green wire or bare copper.
Untwist wire nuts.
Attach new light fixture wires same way as old was removed.
Make sure black wire goes to black wire on light. White to white, green to bare copper.

Copy and paste following links to see basic wire nut, and single-pole and 3-way switch wiring:

Your copper, green wire are the ground. I beleave that the white is the power, and the black is your neg. to make sure i would use a wire tester to determen the power. From there white goes to white, black to black, and green to copper. I am not sure on the white/black wire it maybe another power. Look at your instalation manual it should tell you.
Hope this can help.

Helping a friend install a new unit... he has 3 wires where we took out the old unit (the old unit had 4 wires) .. the (source) 3 wire is black, white & bare.... the old and new unit have black, red,...

Hello,

I suspect on teh wiring from the house the black&white will be the hot wires and the bare will be ground/neutral

use a volt meter before connecting tonew cooktop and check for;
black/bare to have 120volts
white/bare to have 120volts

if that is what you find...connect new cooktop as such;

black to black
red to (house) white

(cooktop) white and green to bare

I have the unit wired and it does not wotk.I have black to black,red to red green to ground and white to white,any thoughts? Thank you

Electrician test wiring before connecting anything.
First of all, you don't mention what type of switch was replaced.

1) Leviton 6230 countdown timer is made to replace single-pole light switch only.
Single pole is where 1 switch controls the Load (light fan motor)

Your wiring sounds like 3-way switch.
3-way is where 2 switches control same Load.
For example a hallway usually has 3-way switches.

To confirm. If old switch has 1 dark screw, 2 brass screws, and 1 green screw, then that is 3-way switch. Use Leviton LTB15, LTB30, LTB60, LTB02, LTB12 countdown timer for 3-way.

http://www.smarthome.com/4255/Leviton-LTB60-1LZ-4-Button-10-20-30-60-Minute-Countdown-Timer-Switch/p.aspx


2) If old switch has 2 brass screws and 1 green screw then that is single-pole switch.

3) If you are replacing single-pole switch, here are testing & wiring instructions for Leviton timer.
Remove device and separate wires for testing.
Use ordinary two wire tester.
Tape tester leads to wood sticks so hands are away from power.
Do not untwist wires that were twisted together before you started.
Turn on power.
Test each wire to bare ground wire.
Tester lights up on Hot wire. This wire will connect to timer black wire.
Now you know Hot wire.
Test Hot wire to each of the other wires, excluding bare ground wire.
Tester lights up on neutral. Timer white wire connects to Neutral wire.
If box does not contain Neutral wire, then timer white wire connects to bare ground.

Timer green wire connects to bare ground wire.
Timer red wire connects to wire going to Load.
