lighting relays / contactors

[matt.leung]

i am having to wire up a relay for some outdoor lighting. the control unit can only switch 24watts.

i am having some issues trying to wire up the relay contractor. could some one please help me out with a wiring diagram.

I have the control switch, - the lighting wired in parallel, - plus an additional 230v power feed.

thank you for any help that you can give me.

what output is on the control unit? is it a volt free contact?

 

[matt.leung]

it is for some courtesy lights needed for when the electric gates open..

the client has decided to add additional lights, too many for the control gate to operate..

 

[Andy™]

so, back to the question, what output is on the control unit? is it a volt free contact?

As Andy says , Matt, does the gate operator put out a voltage across the output terminals ? If it does you need a relay with a coil of that voltage .

If the output is "clean" , as my learned collegue says , it is just closing a contact which has no supply on it, you would switch your lights through those terminals .

(Sorry to double up , just thought I'd go a bit deeper)

Just connect your contactor A1 & A2 terminals to E & E3 on the controller PCB
