OK. More info:

1. Clock motor is 240v.

2. On the cable coming up to the switch:

Red-red = 0 volts
Black -black = 241 (my bad. Somehow I missed that measurement.

So my basic setup is 241v.

Now, how do I connect the cables?


Something is miswired. You should have 240 between a red and a black.
Two reds and 2 blacks is not any cable I have ever seen get rid of it
and get proper cable. You should have red, black, white and green even
if you don't need white/neutral. Improper cabling is dangerous. the next
person will have the same problem. Fix it.
