Hi again,

thanks for the info on toggle switches.

Atlas switches have 3 wires, can someone explain/diagram where the 3 wires go in relation to the toggle switches and how to hookup to an AC power source. This is all new to me.

Thanks

DT

The red wire goes to one
The red wire goes to one outside terminal and the green wire goes to the other outside terminal. The black wire goes to one connection on the power supply. Then you run a wire from the other connection on the power supply to the center terminal of the toggle.

Toggle Switch

I use 99% slow motion machines but just wanted to add that you need to make sure the toggle switch is a momenetary contact type. You probably knew that but just in case....... It would be momentary on the 2 outside poles with the toggle returning to the center off posistion. Otherwise, if power is left on to the switch machine coils too long the coils will go poof.....
