Lug 1 position 1 lug 2 position 2 etc.
2 position switch wiring.
By wiring a 2 way switch the circuit below shows the basic concept of electricity flow to the load.
Below is the wiring schematic diagram for connecting a spst toggle switch.
One source is spliced to each switch with a pigtail to power the two lights.
Or called a 2 pin switch.
When the switch is in the anchor position you want only the white stern light to be on.
The two way light switch wiring can be implemented by using 2 different methods.
How to wire a 2 prong on off toggle switch.
Top row right white stern light and short jumper wire.
Place one ohm meter probe on the input terminal and touch the output terminals with the ohm meter s second probe until the meter reads continuity.
The source is at the switch box and a 2 wire cable is run to each light.
Middle row left 12 power.
Multiple light wiring diagram.
If the wires solder to the rotary switch terminals remove.
Consider the terminal with continuity 1 step 2 prepare the wire ends for the rotary switch.
Here are your electrical connections.
The electricity flows from the hot wire black through the 2 way switch shown in off position and then to the light and returns through the neutral wire white.
Two way switch can be operated from any of the switch independently means whatever be the position of other switch on off you can control the light with other switch.
Let s assume the load you are controlling is a light.
We will now go over the wiring diagram of a spst toggle switch.
You can see that a spst toggle switch only has 2 terminals.
So what have we accomplished.
The following image shows the front and back view of a typical household two way switch.
Standard 2 way switch wiring.
This diagram illustrates wiring for one switch to control 2 or more lights.
The five other terminals on each pole correspond to the five positions of the switch.
The source is at sw1 and 2 wire cable runs from there to the fixtures.
There are two methods of making 2 way switching connection one is 2 wire control and another is 3 wire control.
The following is the simple schematic of a three wire 2 way switch wiring.
1 terminal is for the input.
The other terminal is for the output.
The first way of wiring uses a couple of two way light switches with a 3 wire control.
Lug 0 is the common which is connected to other lugs depending on the lever s position.
The first method as shown in the figure above have the com l1 and l2 of both the spdt switches connected together.
Spst toggle switch wiring.
Here i use a 2 prong switch for my horn siren.
Top row left no connection.
If not turn the switch to the 1 position.
Both of the methods used are described below.
