Hey everyone, Im new to this forum, but im looking for some info on wiring up some 480v light with a 480v contactor, a hand off auto switch, and a 480v photocell all tied in together. Having trouble getting the auto to work. Thanks
 
Can you post a schematic of how it is wired?

The selector switch should have the 'on' position connected straight to hot, and the 'auto' position connected to the output from the photocell. Its common should then feed the contactor coil.

Yea that was kind of the problem. I don't have a schematic of how it's supposed to get wired. I only have instructions for the photo cell which is black to line, red to load, and my white since it's 480 would be my line 2 and other side of the load. Also the hoa switch has 2 NO and 2 NC contacts on the hand side and the same for the auto side. Not sure what contacts to use on those either.
