Test Wiring 2-10 Switch

 

Wiring the progressive transfer 2-10 switch wasn't intuitive to me...I fab'd a simple circuit using a 12V battery and some LED's I had laying around to determine where everything goes.  As you can see, there's a jumper that goes across the power terminals in the center of the switch.  Power out lugs(to each light system, for example) are on the left.  I used a silver Sharpie pen to mark all the switches to speed things up and reduce errors when these switches are installed for good.  I'll use these "combination" switches to combine position/strobe lights and another for landing/taxi lights.  Same type switch will also serve as a BAT/ALT master switch.  If you're unfamiliar with all of this read The AeroElectric Connection by Bob Nuckolls.  It's a must have book.
