Hi tony
what are you connecting it to?
the two outside rows (of 3 terms) are for the double pole double throw side and the 2 centre are for the LED
1---2---3
4---X---6
7---8---9
if these numbers represent the terminals then use 1 and 4 to connect to your input card and 2 and 8 to connect the LED to your output card. I assume this is what you need

I am connecting it to BU0836X card. Ok if i use 1 and 4 for the inpusts than wich one is the ground connection,, i assume its a push and latch on position and push unlatch off possition,

Hi Tony
you can use either for the groud. I believe that one push will connect 1 to 4( and 3 to 6) and the next push will conect 7 to 4(and 6 to 9) Spec sheet says it is a latching switch , changes over for each click.

Hi Tony
I have only used Open Cockpits cards because, before I started building my cockpit I did a lot of research and these cards combined with SIOC and Lekseecon gave the best comination of cost, availabilty, ease of use and flexibility of use for the LevelD767, and the range of cards covers all that I need for my cockpit. Obviously there are other cards but I have no experience of them.
