[QUOTE="barbra33, post: 503534, member: 33313"] Hi, struggling to understand the schematic for this electric projector screen (https://imgur.com/LZ03PCQ) which has 4 wires (https://imgur.com/45nLQ1t) It is supposed to be connected to the switch which controls the up and down function of the screen. Front = https://imgur.com/DQVNnoX Back 1 = https://imgur.com/tq9ZB3f Back 2 = https://imgur.com/iZzC6w3 I am confused on how do the 4 wires connect into the switch. I can only see where the Brown (live) and black (live) go in, I am assuming the reason there are 2 lives is for up switch and down switch. I was told by a friend that the electrician will need to connect the earth and neutral to something else rather than the switch called a terminal block (https://imgur.com/qJx1Rxz) or a cable connector (https://imgur.com/Gy9b0mw). Where do the neutral and earth wires attach to thats my main difficulty in understanding, and to what does it attach to? I dont want to open up the walls, I would rather the electrician cut off a 1 gang exention lead (https://imgur.com/oTefDbI) and attach this to the control switch so I can just control the screen via a plug socket I am not very technical so probably going to get a sparky to do everything. I just want to know is what I am asking possible / realistic, and ballpark cost is this a simple job for them or a big charge before I contact a tradesman and get ripped off. [/QUOTE]
