Monitor Panel Switch May 11, 2024, 03:07:44 pm Is this an on/on Switch that is on the panel to check tanks, gas, water levels etc? If so, is it even called a switch and where can I source it? (My research has revealed nothing). I certainly hope this is enough info.-1990 YR.
Re: Monitor Panel Switch Reply #1 – May 11, 2024, 03:45:43 pm A momentary switch, also known as a “momentary contact switch,” works or turns “on” only for a brief period when it is actuated. It automatically returns to its default “off” position when the actuation is released.I googled "momentary switch 1801" (from the pic) - you can start there.

Re: Monitor Panel Switch Reply #3 – May 12, 2024, 04:09:10 am Hi Mind is power; The power and voltage ratings are nearly unimportant. The voltage only needs to withstand 14 volts or less, and the current I'm sure is much less than a tenth of an amp. Being momentary it doesn't even need to withstand a constant current. The only reason it needs to be a rocker switch form is to look like the other switches. And it could be a regular switch, but you would need to remember to turn it off when you weren't needing to read status, and that is just to save power use. RonB 1 Likes
