"some info and wiring for it ." can be obtained from the operator's manual or the manufacturer.

The best advice is to make a telephone call to the equipment manufacturer, and ask there. After all, there is no indication to the forum about its manufacturer from the photos supplied. Even if there were, a telephone call is far quicker than waiting for the right answer to appear on the forum!

Whoever OTed you Legolaz doesn't get the joke and has never owned a rice cooker.

I guess, but it's okay, I am used to OTed by them - wait, this is a good account name OTed.

I wish admin could look and put a score on OT. Probably, I think i'd have the most scores on OT.

Please tell us a longer story.

Like, I see steam pipes in the background. Are they relevant?

I'm also guessing the location is Earth. That's all the guessing I'm up for.

RTFM perhaps?

Yepp clueless.

Info:

You got white and black running into 81 and 82.

There is additional yellow, blue brown and grey/black wire.

Did you see the orange wire?

Never ever connect 80 and 79 unless you know what you are doing.

So don't!

Why would you need a wiring diagram when you have the wires in front of you?

Do not touch the live wires.

I guess we hear back from you or worse we hear in the news what happens next.

It looks like the smoke was let out of #14. Maybe he/she should try putting the smoke back into it. -- JHF

Definitely a motorized control valve. The black/brown/blue/green&yellow are the incoming control wires for it. Based on a semi-universal color code, there is a very good chance that the blue is common or neutral and the brown and black the voltage which is applied for open/close. Usually these type valves have a built in switch to change directions and application of the voltage to the correct terminal will run them the other direction. (i.e. open or close)

However, since we have no further information to allow us to look for actual schematics, the above supposition remains just that - a SWAG. (Scientific Wild Ass Guess) Voltage is unknown. Additional wiring to the valve is unknown. GET THE MANUFACTURER AND MODEL AND ASK FOR SCHEMATICS OR SEARCH FOR THEM ON THE INTERNET. It has been my experience that once you have correct schematics, all wiring becomes quite clear as to purpose.
