# What are the 6 wires coming out of the Controller and the Sensor?

The **black and white wires** are the power supply wires from the electrical panel or other electrical box. Theses wires power the controller/sensor. The black wire is hot and the white wire is the neutral.

The wires coming out of the controller/sensor to the load (fixture) are the **red, red and white stripe, purple and gray**.

The **red wire** is hot and connects to the **black wire** coming from the fixture.

The **red and white stripe wire** is the switched neutral and connects to the **white wire** coming from the fixture.

The **purple wire** is the positive 0-10v low voltage and connects with the **purple wire** from the fixture.

The **gray wire** is the negative 0-10v low voltage and connects with the **gray wire** from the fixture.

Note: The **switched neutral (red and white striped wire)** is used for **power monitoring** of the actual load (fixtures). To use this monitoring feature, the neutral from the load (fixtures) must be connected to a dedicated neutral circuit from the panel. It cannot be connected to a common neutral used across multiple circuits. You can have multiple controllers/sensors on the same circuit neutral and monitoring will work well.
