Any help appreciated. L1 & l2 won't work. You need to use the common then either 'L' for one way. If the switch works 'upside down' use the other 'L' terminal. -- *We have enough youth, how about a fountain of Smart? Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Thank you for clearing that up for me. |
