Sounds like it's a changeover switch. You should be able to identify this with the meter set to continuity. If it is, I'd guess at brown to common, and then experiment with the other two - I doubt it'll do any harm. The OP may be able to identify the common (if it is a common) by measuring from the supply to the board to the various wires. Usually, there will be under an ohm from the 'common' to either positive or negative supplys, or live/neutral if it's run from 240V. Getting it round the wrong way should not do any harm other than flooding if you're stupid enough to leave it on. |
