Common Concerns Answered
How does the double momentary function work?
The switch provides three distinct states activated by momentary presses. The first press engages the first 'On' function (indicated by green LED), and a subsequent press transitions to the second 'On' function (indicated by red LED), with a further press returning to the 'Off' state (indicated by blue LED). This allows for sequential control of two separate circuits or functions.
Is the 4' lead wire long enough for custom installations?
The 4-foot lead provides sufficient length for many standard installations. For extensive custom wiring runs or installations where the control panel is significantly distant from the electrical source, extension wires may be required.
Why is this switch priced higher than basic models?
This switch offers advanced features and superior construction, including a unique double momentary action, tri-color LED feedback, and an industry-leading IP69K waterproof rating in a stainless steel plated housing, justifying its premium price for critical marine applications.
