    Always make the assumption that the coloured wire is the signal/positive, and the other one white/black is the ground. The reset RST doesn't matter which way around you put it as it's simply a short when the switch is pressed.

    Pin 8 on the K8N is the ground for the power switch, Pin 6 is the signal.
    It's all in the manual.

    Thanks Kilo.
    Couldnt find it in the manual.
    Theres a diagram on a kind of poster that came with it, but its unclear from the diagram whether the connector goes accross or along the pins

    eg

    **X**
    **X***

    or

    *****
    *XX***

    Have everything else in so i'll give these a bash again tomorrow night. Theres
    drink to be had tonight so wont be messing with it tonight.

    What page is it on on the manual?

    Thanks again,
    Minion

    The connectors go on vertically, like in your first example.
