   The black and red are the power wires and the 2 white wires just go to a set   
   of dry contacts and get wired in series with your light/load. Not sure if   
   you realize it, but that module requires a minimum of 180 volts to work. A   
   standard outlet or lighting circuit in the USA is only 120 volts.
