Image 6.1: This diagram illustrates four common wiring configurations for the switch, showing how to control both the device and the LED indicator in Normally Open and Normally Closed setups.

  • Normally Open (NO) Configuration: The circuit is open (OFF) when the button is not pressed. Pressing the button closes the circuit (ON).
  • Normally Closed (NC) Configuration: The circuit is closed (ON) when the button is not pressed. Pressing the button opens the circuit (OFF).
  • The LED can be wired independently or in conjunction with the device operation.

7. Operation

This is a latching (self-locking) push button switch. Its operation is straightforward:

  • To turn ON: Press the button once. The switch will lock into the ON position, and the connected device will activate. The LED will illuminate if wired accordingly.
  • To turn OFF: Press the button again. The switch will release from the locked position, and the connected device will deactivate. The LED will turn off if wired accordingly.

8. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To clean the switch, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or wear. Ensure the mounting nut remains securely tightened.
  • No internal user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble the switch.

9. Troubleshooting

  • Switch Not Activating Device:
    • Check all wiring connections for proper contact and polarity.
