OK. I understand that photos/diagrams/specs of your 3-wire signal may not be practical for you to post.

I'm still looking for more information about the signal itself.  Previously I asked about your experiment.  It's re-stated below with the wire colors BLK, RED, GRN for your mystery signal.

You say you hooked up a 9V (DC) battery to the 3-wire signal and nothing lit up.  The battery of course has a + and - terminal and should even be labeled as such.  So for the 9V test are you saying no light for:

a) BLK to -, RED to +

b) BLK to -, GRN to +

c) BLK to +, RED to -

d) BLK to +, GRN to -

But then you did get light for 12V AC:

a) BLK to common, RED to AC hot

b) BLK to common, GRN to AC hot

Yes basically any combo of wires to + and - on a 9volt battery got me nothing. But using AC with BLK. to common, red or green would light up just fine.
