Electrician help needed.

[FastEddy]

The timer on my Neon outdoor sign went out and I need to replace it.
I wanted to find the same timer but couldn't.

I have no idea what wires to hook up where. Here is all the info one may need to help me but i can provide whatever is needed.

Here is the timer that is in now.
I do know that the 2 little wires, one on the first and one on the posts are the timer power. The other 3 larger ones are from the sign and the circuit breaker.

The new timer

Is that your "Nude Girls" sign? Better get that going quick like!

 

[RatzoRC]

Is the voltage going to the sign (coming from the panel) 120 Volts?

I would sujest getting an electrician to do this one for you, Ed.

I know you are probably fully capable of doing it yourself and all, but if is a comercial sign, it is probably running on 210 current wich as you know is very dangerous. Pay someone the forty bucks to risk THIER life.

 

[FastEddy]

Its all 110V
The power is coming from the circuit breaker.(The white wires on poles 1 and 2)

The larger 3 wires White, black, and red go to the sign.


45.00 gets the guy to answer the phone. 120.00 for a commercial house call then $95.00 per hour with a minimum of 1 hour.

By the time he drags his tools in then takes his 15 minute union brake, I'm looking at 250.00 to get it done.

 

[vbgagnon]

I"m sure the rat man can help you out....

 

[Got Nitro?]

for half of that $250,you'll get a non union break,somebody who has no idea what there doing,and are willing to shock themselves till they get it right of fixed.

 

[RatzoRC]

10 minutes on the phone with Ratzo....Priceless.
Issue resolved.

 

[Tweak]

Sweet. glad to hear you got it all worked out. I still woulda liked to see SOMEONE get shocked.

 

[vbgagnon]

I've been hit with 220v before. It sucked ass. I was working at a carwash and one of our vaccumes had a quarter jam. I did everything I was supposed to do except unplug it. I had the shakes for an hour!

 

[FastEddy]

I found the load wire thanks to Ratzo.
I touched it and had a load in my pants.
Priceless
Then theres Master Card to get it done right the first time.

Now if I can figure out why the clock keeps going out during the day.

I thought it was 120v then 240v then 480v??? When did all this stuff change around? Now its different or something?

AKA 110/220

It's usually 110 minimum 120 maximum. and so on.
