At the bottom of the download document aml_30.pdf, on page 4, it shows connections for the internal light. On many switches, the lamp circuit is independent of the switch circuit. I am guessing that you have an isolated lamp circuit and that the two straight terminals are for the internal light. Hope that this helps. Have a great new year.

Honeywell MAY be using the same body on multiple switches and your switch MAY have lighting terminals, but no light installed. Try a resistance measurement between the two straight terminals. An incandescent light should give a relatively low resistance reading.

Emacs! I presume you have #73 or #85 lamps to install Emacs! The schematic for these switches Emacs! Shows the two poles on terminals 11/12 and 21/22 with the lamp isolated on the other two terminals. The elsewhere in the literature I found this rear view of the termina arrangement Emacs! If you look at the back of your switches, you'll probably find numbers molded into the housings. You probably only need one of the two poles to switch a load so you can use either the 11/12 or 21/22 path for this task. I presume that you're going to power all the lights from a dimmer so one of the two lamp terminals would be tied to ground . . . the other to your dimmer output. For side-by-side switches, you can daisy-chain jumpers across the row of switches to parallel all the lamps and take single conductors to ground and dimmer. . . . sorta like this. Emacs!

You did buy the appropriate lamp to install in this switch according to the voltage you require didn't you? If you wished it to come with a 12V lamp already installed the central "A" should have been a "C" AML34 ORDER GUIDE AML34 accepts one incandescent lamp which can be furnished installed or ordered separately. AML34 F B A 4 AC 01 has no lamp installed AML34 F B C 4 AC 01 has a 12V lamp installed. For 28 volt it would be an "E" Bob McC ________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 10:18:31 AM PST US From: Bill Watson Subject: Re: AeroElectric-List: Re: Illuminated rocker switch In AML 24, 34 and 26 (you probably have AML24) any light circuits are independent of the switch circuits. Looking at the spec sheet, they only show the diagram for the various switched poles. You just hook up the lights directly to power and ground and possibly a dimmer. I don't think I ever saw a diagram showing the light circuit. The AML36 series has versions where the lamp circuit is integral to switch circuit. I'm unfamiliar with those. I used a number AML 24 and 34 switches, all with independent lamp circuits. I had no desire to have the light do anything other than light up the switch label for night ops. My switches were spec'd for incandescent lamps, however I replaced them with LED lamps with integral resistors sourced from one of the panel shops. They are also dimmed with units from Perihelion. If you need indicator lamps, the AML41 indicators are a nice complement. The dimming is critical. A bank of these switches and/or indicators will blind you at night. At the same time, they are very nice at night when properly dimmed. Re the indicators, I did not dim the 'warning' and 'fault' indicators, i.e. Oil Press, Low Voltage, Master Warn, Door Open, because they should be seen no matter how the dimmer is set. I did dim the 'status' indicators, i.e. Buss Crossfeed and Boost Pump, because I didn't want to be blinded when those indicators are on for extended periods. Here is a page showing some switch wiring - note that none of the switch terminals are connected, only the light circuits are wired. http://www.mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=MauleDriver&project=224&category=5253&log=122434&row=2 Here a page showing the switches and indicator lights on the panel (while under construction) http://www.mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=MauleDriver&project=224&category=5253&log=91400&row=6 On 12/28/2013 11:59 AM, Carlos Trigo wrote: > > Jerry > > In that case, the switch light is not commanded by the switch itself, isn't > it? > So, if I want the lamp to illuminate when I turn On the switch, I'll have to > wire that externally.

From: "Valin" Here's more detail in what I'm trying to accomplish in trying to use the VPX and its flap control features with the motor breaking circuitry of the Lancair Legacy flap control mechanism. The good things the VPX does for flap control is not allow deployment above the maximum flap extended speed, incremental deployment/retraction with flap momentary switch activation, and read/display its position. The VPX controls the flap motor by changing the polarity of the outputs driving the flap motor. The Legacy's flap control circuitry, with motor braking (grounding both sides) when not driving the motor or at its deploy and retraction limits, drives the motor in different direction at the flap switch (DPDT (Retract) Off (Deploy)) with the positive electrical connection to both the retract and deploy circuits. See attachment. This is much the way Bob N. showed how to do it where he was switching the ground. So it seems that with the VPS sending out motor commands just directly changing the polarity that it could be hooked up to a Relay replacing the manual flap switch function DPDT (On) Off (On). But as some have pointed out, there's apparently no such animal. I'm not sure how to take the changing flap control polarity coming out of the VPX and set up two relays to achieve the same result in the Lancair wiring of the DPDT flap control switch. I'm at novice at this but will think about it some more tomorrow. If anyone can suggest a specific solution to this interesting challenge Id sure appreciate it.
