Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� What is the specific use case for a "Center-OFF" switch?
This switch is perfect for applications where you need to choose between two different functions while having a safe "dead" zone in the middle. For example, it can be used to run a fan on "Low" in Position I, "High" in Position II, and completely shut it down in the Center (O).
How do I wire this for motor reversing?
In a standard DC reversing setup, the center pin receives the power, while the outer pins are cross-wired to the motor terminals. For AC 240V use, always ensure your wiring configuration is rated for the load to prevent arcing during high-voltage switching.
� Will this switch light up when powered?
No. This is a purely mechanical, non-illuminated rocker switch. The lack of internal lamps makes it highly durable and avoids the constant power draw or light pollution common with illuminated versions.
