Any markings on it? 
When you work it from the radio or servo tester does it go "click"?  If it dies then its a relay type and you can use your meter on continuity (resistance) to check for contacts and their operation.  If its a solid state device, you would be looking at voltages.
Of course, finding where the instructions hid themselves would be first prize.

 Do you have a meter ?  It will tell you everything you wish to know.

First thing is measure voltage when connect up to R/X  before doing any continuity tests.

There might be a chance you blow back to the R/X and damages it.

keep us posted

Cheers Davidsg1a.

I had never seen one of these. Now I know what it is (from Ebay info)  I might consider getting a few myself.  They appear to have live and neutral going in,  and on full T/X movement, outputting up to 20 amps live and neutral.

You'll  have to meter it on test and let us know the terminal connections and how it performs under load please.

regards

I'm fairly sure the two outside connectors are the power in., +ve marked with red dot and the inner two are for the power out , again +ve on the "dotted"side.  If you connect it then to a spare channel then you can switch whatever you want.  I don't believe them to be "latched" although I do know you can buy them like that.

You can buy two differing amperage ones on ebay, but to my knowledge they aren't marked.  I thought they were about 3 or 8 amp only but.........

May be ok for switching lights or a very small motor but as DM says no way 20A at 30V
The startup current of a large model motor would be too much

They make Chinese amps in the UK now ;D

It can probably handle the amps as its not switching constantly like an ESC.
