Hello! I'm hoping for a little help. Probably easy for someone more experienced than I.
The TL;DR is that I'm wondering if I can wire an Elma Type 04 switch (4:3) as seen in the Stereo / Mono / Mono Rev diagram below.
Details
I'm following this guide for a monitor controller build. It's all very straightforward except that I noticed that his switch diagrams don't seem to apply to my switches.
I'm not worried about the input and output switches, as I was able to figure out how to convert the connections to work on my switches. BUT... The STEREO / MONO/ MONO REV switch seems to need to be wired very specifically, and I'm not sure if my switch should be wired exactly like his diagram, considering I had to create my own switch diagrams for the input and output.
For example, here is his input switch:
And based on tracing signal flow on the connectors and switch action, I had to modify to this (you can reverse the L/R labels if that makes more sense):
Now here is his diagram for the STEREO / MONO/ MONO REV switch:
I can certainly wire it as shown, but again, I'm worried that since I discovered that his connectors differ from mine, that it won't work as expected.
Switch Information
Both of us are using 4 pole, 3 position switches (4:3)
He's using Altronics and I'm using Elma Type 04. Here's the data sheet for my Elma switch.
My switch:
At this point, things start getting fuzzy for me. I don't really understand what they're showing me in that data sheet and image above.
I don't even understand if all these diagrams are from the view of the BACK of the switch. You know – the way you'd look at it if you were soldering it.
My Question
Sorry for the long post. I suppose my question is if the wiring in the diagram of the STEREO / MONO/ MONO REV switch can be used for my Elma Type 04 switch.
If not, then I'll probably need some hand holding on how to convert the connections.
Thanks so much!!!
