Question on AristoCraft FB1 light switch

The light switch has 8 prongs off the back (4 pairs) I have used double throw doble pole switches in the past but have not seen this type of switch before. The board it is on leaves 1 set of prongs open. Can anyone give me a diagram of how this switch can be wired for use?

Thanks,
Dave

Greg???
:wink:

Dear David,

Get out the Ohm-meter and trace it, switch it, trace it 'til you get it figured out.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

does George Schreyer’s web site have it?

George answered on that other site . I put up a drawing to help with ID.

Maybe this will help.This is the backside of the board.

I answered on the other site, but George had the detailed information, my guess appears to be right, DPDT center off. You could reverse the direction of the fan for the smoke unit… crazy…

Greg

Thanks all, I was confused because of the 8 contact points as opposed to 6 I’m used to on a DPDT switch.
