Wiring a bathroom pull cord

Hi,

Replacing my bathroom pullcord (which also supplies a fan) but the wiring is different. At the moment I have 2 red wires and a green. I don't know how best to explain it so I've included link to the pictures of the old and the new. In the old one the left red wire goes into a point labelled 'Supply' L, in the right the red goes into 'Load' N, and the green goes into 'Load' L.

Can anyone help??

Do I need a different pull cord?

Thanks!

    Assuming that's a double-pole single-throw switch (I'm not that savvy, can't see the labelling - you'd put the red on the left into COM on the new switch, and the other green and red into L1 (or L2 - but both in the same hole).

    You could disregard the little red link cable.
  • Thanks Grenage, works a treat now.
