Does the purchase come with the green wire or the yellow wire? I will need to buy more wire so knowing what kind to buy would be great. Thanks.

Thank you for your question! Typically, Innotek units come with green insulated copper wire. However, the color of the insulation is not important; it is the gauge of the copper wire that needs to be matched when purchasing extra. The unit comes with 20 gauge solid copper wire. Our systems can effectively accommodate 14- to 20-gauge insulated copper wire. So if you wish to use a thicker wire, you can. For best results, it is recommended to use all the same gauge or no more than one gauge larger or smaller than the current wire. The wire can be solid, stranded or a mixture of both.

The black wire is the hot wire and the white is the neutral.The green is the ground

Yes there are different color wires. There is the neutral or gnd, and one + for bright and one + for slightly dimmer. I just wired mine up to the wire that was the brightest. Didn't care about being dimmer.

No, both ends were bare wire. I put two rolls of the yellow in my boat and love the look. I wired them as courtesy lights, so I used existing wires on the boat. Very easy installation.

Its a wire so that you can hang the ball. they are not red when you get them they are green and very slow growers! I took care of mine the way that they said and it died. They are not large ones either the ball of them is about the size of a small lemon.

If I remember, the green wire attaches to a positive power feed, to read the voltage. I only wanted the temp, so only attached to positive and negative wires.

Hi Donald, No, it's just personal preference. I ran yellow cable because it was in my attic and I wanted something I could find easily. Otherwise, you can choose whatever color you want and it won't matter in the slightest.

GoingBroke said however they follow the european standard brown (black), and blue (white). the yellow grn stripe is our earth gnd.I wired mine up following this to a proto cell and worked fine.if you are putting it on a 3 prong plug you should have a gold, silver and green screw. So Brown to gold, blue to silver and yellow/green to green.Brown (black) is hot, and blue (white) is neutral and the yellow grn stripe is our earth gnd.

The ones I used only had a blue and brown wire and the brown is positive and blue negative. The unit will also work on 12 VAC since there is a circuit inside to rectify and filter the power to 12 VDC. So, I suspect that this new Green/Yellow wire is for ground. I had several of these circuits fail because I was using in in a 12VDC system with a charging circuit that would take the voltage up to 14.5 VDC. You can allow for this if you add a 5 ohm/5 watt resistor in series with either the blue or brown wire.

I have copy of instructions. I can send send them? Trick is the Yellow wire is the control wire. If you want it on all the time (which is the way I hooked it up). Black wire to negative, red and yellow to positive.

Well, the wire is not marked but after comparing it to my other wire collection, it must be 10 ga. wire. Also now I noticed that it says 10AWG right in the description.

I received a few extra wires with my purchase. Did you not receive extras with yours? I would contact the seller, directly, and inquire with them about some extra wires.

If you will provide the brand and model (manufacturer), I will try my best to help you. I need to look at the schematic for that particular model. They are all different as far as wire colors. Thanks, Mike

Ours had the wire that plugged up so we had what we needed. Hope this helps you.

I'm not an electrician. To my knowledge, three wires should supplied to a switch. You should have a green wire (ground) coming into the plastic box. That should be hooked to the ground screw on the switch. If a green wire was not pulled with the hot (black) and the neutral (white, sometimes gray), then you need to contact a liscensed electrical contractor. Finally, if you have any question about what's the hot, neutral and ground wire, then instead of getting knocked on the ground, or worse, consult an electrician

It comes w/ very cheap, low gauge wire......do yourself a favor get better gauge wire. That's all....
