2 position switch wiring.

The first way of wiring uses a couple of two way light switches with a 3 wire control. 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. The following is the simple schematic of a three wire 2 way switch wiring.

Below is the wiring schematic diagram for connecting a spst toggle switch. If not turn the switch to the 1 position. Lug 1 position 1 lug 2 position 2 etc. The five other terminals on each pole correspond to the five positions of the switch.

How to wire a 2 prong rocker switch. You can see that a spst toggle switch only has 2 terminals. The switch is divided into four separate circuits or poles and each pole has six lugs. The other terminal is for the output.

Top row left no connection. How to wire a 2 prong on off toggle switch. From the back this switch will have three rows of terminals with two terminals on each row. There are two methods of making 2 way switching connection one is 2 wire control and another is 3 wire control.

Here are your electrical connections. This diagram illustrates wiring for one switch to control 2 or more lights. Let s assume the load you are controlling is a light. 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.

Both of the methods used are described below. The first method as shown in the figure above have the com l1 and l2 of both the spdt switches connected together. 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.

One source is spliced to each switch with a pigtail to power the two lights. Top row right white stern light and short jumper wire. So what have we accomplished.

The following image shows the front and back view of a typical household two way switch. Or called a 2 pin switch.
