    Default Power plugs

    Been involved with some difficulty with neighbours and had to buy two rear tyres for gingerchicks car and a new rear tyre for my motorcycle as they had knives pushed through them. We then got a sensor light and security camera and it seemed to work a treat.
    Until the other day. We checked everything and found the mongrel had cut the cable to the light.
    So I want to attach a new plug.
    In the light cable there are brown and a blue wires.
    On the plug (three pins) the only one colour coded is the green.
    Could someone tell me which side to attach brown wire to and which to attach blue.
    To avoid confusion please consider this with the pins of the plug pointing toward you.
    please
    With greatest appreciation

    Time to get the wallopers involved! The instructions should be on the packaging.

    Not used to reading, or even looking for instructions. But problem solvered.
    Thanks mate

    just gotta wait for the coppers to came around and take some pics etc before I can do the work. At least the mongrel can't get to the camera, behind shatter proof glass

    Hope the coppers can do something. I have a few mates in the NSW mob and they are limited by the laws that the useless pollies dream up.

    While I do NOT condone violence my blood would be simmering by now - this is a long shot and probably well past the time for a casual chat, but I spose you can't go nextdoor and speak with the people you feel are responsible and work it out .... might be cheaper than a shottie and less problematic - I know there are woodworking shops in prison but getting time on the tools can be a real hassle.


    so I'm told

    before you do the plug [and if you have access to any] run the cable through some steel conduit. Use a barrel union and a cable gland on each end to secure the cable, but this should protect the cable from being cut.
