Switch: Types of Switches According To Installation Mounting

Switches are used to open and close electrical circuits. There are different types of switches according to their mounting and number of poles and throws. Single pole switches control lights from one location while three-way switches control lights from two locations. Other switches include dimmer, timer, remote control, fire alarm, and photoelectric switches. Switches are widely used in homes, buildings, industrial and commercial applications.

2. Single pole, double throw (S3w)
3. Double pole, single throw
4. Double pole, double throw
5. Three pole, single throw
6. Three pole, double throw
7. Rotary switch, one pole five position

Noticing Items about Construction Work
• Don’t turn over, lead wire must be under side.

• Must be installed the place which avoid the direct


electric light.

• Don’t install in dark place in a day time.

• First, connect the load wire.

• Load wire : RED


• Common wire : WHITE
• Power wire : BLACK

• When use the check cover, it takes 30-60


seconds to light.
• When lighting in a day-time, SELCON will be
hitch.
• When light off in a night, lamp will be broken
PHOTOELECTRIC SWITCH
Installation
• Installing metal, washer and screws as
shown in the right drawing (remarks).

• Be sure to set point A of installing


metal on indication mark.

• B, lighting side of SELCON.

•If the lighting, side of SELCON catched


a strong light, sometimes not be lighted.

•In this case change the angle of


point A 90 degrees right to left.
