What is the wire color code translation to USA 120vac? Unit came with Brown, Blue, and Yello/GreenStrip. Not a Black/White/Green as in USA.

The yello/green is ground(green)... Blue goes to the White(common).....Brown goes to the Black(hot).... I hope this helps.

Brown is hot wire-like black wire; Blue is neutral-like white wire; yellow/green is ground and very important to hook up for safety reasons-it will help prevent getting electrocuted if lamp shorts out internally.

I hooked mine up as I mentioned and you are right that with 120vac it will not make a difference as long as the ground is correct. Mine has been working for a few months and it is tied in with a photo eye, gone thru many Florida rain storms and still shines bright, even while its raining.....

The blue is hot. Treat it like a black wire. Brown is common, so treat it like a white wire. The yellow with green stripe is ground, so like a green wire.

Mine has a yellow wire but there are no standard color and changing it based on what they have in stock (many low end Chinese manufacturers will do this) ... it should be red-black-X .. red is volts, black is ground and the 3rd wire is current .. you can check this by using a DMM on ohms mode and looking for a practical short (less than 5 ohms) from ground to the green wire and that will verify that it is the current

It's AC current. Green is ground. If no other markings on the blacks it doesn't matter.

It's strange they post the 110vAC version diagram with this 12v unit. The wiring diagram that is on the unit says 12v and the power and heating/cooling is not all interconnected. Inkbird should post a pic of the decal on the unit - it has the proper schematic.

The red and black bundled wires are 12 v + and ground. The green wire is the serial ground and only functions as a ground for the serial wires. Unless you're going to use the external serial function, there is no need to ground the green wire.

The color of each wire is to make replacement simple. I always make a Diagram first before removing the original wiring.You can't always follow by color of wires

yellow,white and red are the colors. the third wire is for "dual tone and the other is for yelp" I have one in box that would not work with my system due to the "current draw of 200mA@12VDC. my system was 6VDC

There are none,I purchased a cord from Home Depot , About $6.00 that has a Copper hot wire and silver neutral wire and green ground.The unit has markings for + and - hook copper to + and silver to - ,green to ground.

If the wires are brown, blue, and green with a yellow stripe then the combination is:Brown = BlackBlue = WhiteGreen/Yellow = GroundHope this helps.

The european standard for dc wiring is brown is +vdc and blue is -vdc. Try that.

120v and 115v are used imterchangeably. It just means standard AC incoming power.

I bought two units and they both look just like the picture... one red wire and one black wire. Sorry that I'm no help.

The lights we just got had a tag on the back of the light which detailed what the wires were(Brown - Hot, Blue -Neutral and Green Ground). Must have been something they added on the newer shipments. With the label, there is no doubt on the wiring. I also connected one last night and it worked as expected..

The units imported to the united states are for 120 volts AC. Some units have dual voltage 240/120 with a switch by the input power wire to the sub woofer.

It's never a good idea to try to trust wire insulation color as a determination of polarity unless you have a datasheet that clearly states the color and polarity. I always test power supply outputs with a meter before connecting them.

Ground - green/yellow, Live - Brown, Neutral - Blue.This is an international standard that the USA does not use.source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060929120608AACS38T

Remove the 4 screws on the box and you will see two2 wires going in to the converter and one wire going to ground or no connection. 110vac goes between the 2 wires going in to the converter[makes no difference witch direction]. the third wire can be attached to the case if you really want a ground. I don't know if China has a color code or not. I always open them up to look and attach the ground.
