    Hi there

    I am just breaking my things out of storage and I am setting up my singing pumpkins from last year and I can't remember how to wire the Kit 74.

    I used the site from one of the members here "www.deadmansinne.com" but the link no longer works. Does anyone remember how to wire this up?

    From memory, I believe all the commons get wire together, then each pumpkin gets wired together into the NO loop. Then the extension cord connects into the NO loop and the Common.

    Is this correct?

    Thanks!

    Try to help you the best I can... I took some pics. I wanted to show you my method in order to avoid any confusion on my part. As you can see in my pics, yes the common loop (c) is daisy chained together. Then the NO loop feeds the outlet. The neutral is always feeding the neutral on the outlet. Easiest way I can remember is that you want to switch the common off and on, not the neutral, for safety sake.

    OK, so it is very similar to what I remember.

    The Commons are shorted together, one wire from each outlet goes to a NO terminal on each relay. Then the second wire from each outlet all get tied together and connect to one end of the extension cord used for power. The other wire from the extension cord connects to one of the Common terminals on the Kit74

    Sound right?

    THanks for the pics!!
