The circuit consists of two separate parts. That on the left is a timer, powered from the mains. It has switching contacts (10 & 11) on OP1 that are used to energize the Tyco relay on the right. The relay then switches the load via terminals 4 & 7.

The two parts have separate mains connections:
1. – the terminals 6 & 8 for the timer, and
2. – from the 230V and N connections shown at the bottom of the page.

You can either common them into a single plug, or if the load is heavy then wire them to separate plugs..

i understand what you have said and i intend to common them to one plug but
what i need is to know how do i connect an ordinary mains 3pin socket to the relay so that i can plug the load ( lights ) into the socket
im not very good at explaining myself but i hope you know what i mean

You can wire a socket for the load to plugged into like this:

Connect the Earth of the socket to the Earth pin of the mains plug
Connect the Neutral of the socket to the Neutral pin of the mains plug
Connect the Live of the socket to the terminal 4 of the relay
