Low Power Option Standby Switch Wiring

Is this correct?

The blue wires on the left are from the OT.

I want it so the high voltage switch position is towards the power switch.

I left it out, but I believe the white bias wire will go to pin 2 of the switch.

I thought I saw a picture of this recently on the site but couldn't find it. If I recall correctly I saw a variable resistor instead of the fixed one on it. I do have two variables with my kit. Is this is for adjusting the bias separately for the two voltages?

Can replace the resistor with a pot to fine tune the low voltage option bias setting. Also note the switch in the drawing is oriented so the toggle flips up or down rather than side to side (as your's is) to select the voltage.

Thanks, I think I got it now :D

I couldn't get it to fit toggling up and down.

Really? Mine's tight, but it squeeeeeezes in there.

So seeing the pic from the store.......The high voltage taps go to 5 &7 and the low voltage go to 6& 9 of the switch????...................Is that correct???

Thanks

I think it's 4 & 7 + 6 & 9 for the hi/lo inputs to the switch.

5 & 8 go to the diodes.

This is what I think and could be wrong.

Actually it can be 1,4,7 and 3,6,9 for the hi/lo inputs depending on how you want it to switch (Up/Down)

2,5,8 for the output to the board.

White bias wire to the free center row pin. Resistor from the free center row pin to the row with the HI voltage inputs. Then a wire from that pin to the board.

That's how I did mine. Somebody please jump in and tell me if I'm wrong. :D
