@David Robinson you need to appreciate that the 3 blacks, 3 reds and 3 earths are 3 sets of one black, red and earth. Each of the sets has a different purpose. 1, Live in, 2, live going out and 3, switch. To work out which set does which, test equipment is needed. Only then can anyone explain how to connect it. Difficult in a forum chat. ;)
