Yep. And you can check that with a meter or by wiring it in test config too.
Thanks thats what I thought.
I have a meter but not fluent in using it other than a wire registers
240v or not. So I take the wires out and replace in the same configuration as the old one that my safest way with limited knowledge of electrics. Test config I havent a clue what that means. :-)
