Greetings.

I have bought myself a Contactor to wire into the garage lights so they switch on when the electric garage door is raised.

Unfortunately it did not come with any literature and seeing as how this is the first time I have ever wired one I thought I would ask here for a bit of advice.

I am guessing that terminals 1 and 2 are for the feed signal from the door and terminals 3 and 4 are for the load which is the supply to the lights.

Is this correct?

The garage door has a small light that illuminates when the door is opened and I was thinking of wiring the feed to the Contactor in parallel with the light.

The supply to the garage lights (load) would go from a 6 Amp MCB, through the Contactor then to the lights and then back to the neutral of the board so the Contactor will be wired in parallel with the garage door light as a feed and in series with the garage lights which are the load.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Thanks very much.
