FACTS Why does Micro Switch turn OFF when I switch to a turn on con- dition via my transmitter? Micro Switch is designed to switch on from a pulse width greater that 50%. Reverse the switch condition on your transmitter will set it right. Can I use Micro Switch as a General Purpose Optically Isolated switch? Yes you can, Micro Switch can be used for any general purpose function as long as the maximum recommended volt-...
