Hi, I need help wiring my electrical key switch and contactor panel.
I’ve wired my lighting circuits back to my fuse board but left brown/black out and taken them straight to key switch. Taken brown from breaker also to feed the key switch. What are my connections at key switch? Also what do I take from my key switch to contacter panel?

appreciate any help
 
Going to need more info. Is it a last person out control, emergency lighting? The identification of conductors means nothing at present saying they are brown and black.

Yes last person out, it’s emergency lighting. Wired 3c +earth. Neutral/earth in fuse board. Live/emergency (brown/black) straight to key switch. Taken a feed (brown singles) from breaker in fuse board to key switch to feed it. Connections in key switch? Also how do I wire out from key switch to contactor in contactor panel?
Thanks
 
Why the contactor mate is there more than 1 lighting circuit to be controlled? Is the key switch for the emergency test function or is it the last man out switch?

Yes there is 6 lighting circuits in total. Key switch is for emergency test function. So i assuming I don’t need to take the emergency (black) from the key switch to the contactor
 
Might help if you could show a diagram even if is rough pen and paper. If it is last person out and a test facility for the emergency lighting you should have two key switches or one key switch and a general lighting switch.

It’s warehouse lighting. The light fittings have sensors on. The emergency key switches are mounted next to fuse board and contactor panel mounted directly above. Connections f or emergency key switch? I have live/emergency from light and a feed (brown) from breaker in fuse board
