Smart Strategies for Selecting Switches & Push Buttons
Course Description
This class will take a step-by-step look at selecting the correct switches and push buttons as part of an access control solution. We discuss the differences between normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switch contacts and how they relate to the electrified hardware being used to secure the opening. We will briefly discuss various options – like single pole/double throw (SPDT), double pole/double throw (DPDT) - as well as present multiple use-case examples and applications.
By completing this course, attendees should be able to:
- Differentiate between normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switch contacts as a part of the entire access control solution.
- Recognize when options like single pole/double throw (SPDT), double pole/double throw (DPDT), and momentary or alternate action switches should be used.
- Suggest possible switch/push button solutions to multiple use-case applications and operational requirements.
