= Connection and Usage Guide =
The CYT1073 functions as a momentary switch with three terminals . The common pin and the two switch contacts allow you to choose between NO and NC configurations.
For a normally open circuit, connect the common and the NO pin
For a normally closed circuit, connect the common and the NC pin
Do not exceed the 1A current rating - use a relay for higher loads
= Troubleshooting =
Switch not triggering:
- Check wiring connections to the correct NO/NC and common pins
- Verify the lever arm is being fully depressed
- Avoid over-tightening mounting screws which can bind the mechanism
Intermittent actuation:
- Ensure clean, debris-free contact surface
- Check for loose connections
- Consider replacing after lifespan
