Bino Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I have a 4 pin on/off latching button switch I intend using on a control panel. When I connect the power supply, the LED is on regardless of the button position. how do I wire this so that the LED only activates in the ON position?

Dungrange Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 My suggestion would be to supply the power to the opposite two terminals from the ones you have used (ie fit it the other way round). I'm assuming that this is a double pole single throw switch, so is making / breaking two circuits (a live and a return). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a novice, I'm not sure how to wire this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mol_PMB Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 It would help to have some more information on the switch. Maybe a photo of the pin arrangement or a serial number so someone could look up the specification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Jeremy Cumberland Posted February 20 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 20 It appears to be an SPST (single pole on-off switch) with separate light. Here is a wiring diagram for something similar on ebay: These instructions are for a dc power supply, with the blue wire going to + and the green wire to -. The green wire could be part of a common return. What are you switching, and what type of power supply are you using? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
