how do I wire this when I only have a black, and white wire and a ground?

First, the unit won't operate unless you have an active ground connection. The instructions are poor in that they don't show the complete circuit to the light. Basically, run your power cable through the switch box to the light fixture; the black wires of the switch will be spliced into the black "hot" wire of the cable; the green wire of the switch will be connected to (but not interrupt) the ground wires of the cable. The white "neutral" wire will run only to the light - bad design in my opinion, because the switch uses ground instead of neutral to complete its control circuit, but apparently it meets electrical code or could not be marketed.

There is a way to ground it, but you must do it through a separate amp. Hope this helps!

Only 2 wires are conected inside One wire is sniped short that wire you won't use the other 2 you can hook up anyway you want as it is ac I hope this helped good luck

the instructions should tell you which wires go to your black (hot) and white (neutral) wires. if there is a blue wire it is hot and goes to the black from your electrical box. if the other wire from the light is white, it goes with the white (neutral) try to make sure they are not touching each other when you stuff them back into the electrical box. the green wire is a grounding wire and goes to the bare copper wire from inside your electrical box. again, try to make sure these three separate couplings are not touching each other.

You need to buy the adapter Kidde KA-F, there is a two pack that seems to be cheaper than buying the adapter separately. Otherwise, just rewire the unit base.(It isn't hard, just one more step).

it has two wires stripped at the end, a 12v, and a ground. you have to add a connector at the end, at least that's how mine came.

I should still work! I am assuming without seen a diagram you will have one wire to the power source and the other two wires will go to your wire in and your wire out and you will probably have to piggy back that the fourth wire if the fourth wire is not a ground

It is very simple. Just swap wire for wire. It has its own inner plate for grounding purposes. I am by no means electrical savvy, but it was easy to do.

there are only two wires a red and white. on the one i bought, you cut the wire from the ac adapter and strip the ends.i touch each end to your battery post .if they dont light switch them and you will find which is ground. you can also cut them to any length and solder wires to the ones you cut.its a little work but not hard

Connect to the red and black terminals (not green!) and just put two equal size resistors on a breadboard. Middle will be zero.For example, output 12 volts and use the middle as ground. You then have 6V and -6V. You just can't be connected to earth ground, which is usually denoted by the color green.

The power source's plugs needs to be cut and you insert the wires. Your best bet is to check youtube for videos on how to wire the whole thing up. There's a few great ones on there that break it down for you.

Just use the low voltage wire from the hareware store. It has the positive and negitive wires together.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

Nothing special. Black to black, white to white and green to ground/copper. Make sure the outlet isn't connected to a wall switch.

You need to connect that black wire to the bottom of the original pcb board, battery ground. You need both pcb board.

I think yo have to connect the extra wire. Red one according to the pic. But not sure if it has to be live or ground

I have a seventy year old house and there is only a black and white, no ground wire. The Lutron switch has two black wires and a ground. I hooked the black wires up to the black and white and the switch did NOT work without a ground. I know, because I tried it that way and then called their help line and they confirmed that a ground is necessary. The box that I put the switch in is metal and I read that the 'old school way,' when they built a house, was to wrap one wire around a box and then string that wire to the next box, and so on, until the end and where they just ground the one wire. So, I attached the switch ground to the box, and it worked. I don't know if that helps, but I thought I would share that older houses WON'T have a ground wire.
