Sanity check - anyone see any issues? The LED on the switch is ON no matter what, which is how I think these things are supposed to behave. Flipping the switch cuts the power to the smart strip.
There are two ways to wire it that cause the lamp to behave differently. Either way is OK.
If you wire it like the diagram below with the lamp
after the switch, the lamp will turn on and off with the power switch.
- Open switch = no power to lamp or power strip.
- Visual confirmation that power to the cab is on or off makes this a popular choice but YMMV.
If you wire it with the lamp
before the switch, the lamp will always be on.
- Open switch = power to lamp but no power to power strip.
- You've got it wired this way with power coming in on the B+D side and going out on the A+C side of the switch.
You can tell the lamp (B+D) side of the switch because those tabs are further apart than A+C
and you can see the wire leads at the base of the B+D QD tabs.
If you want to reverse the orientation of the switch, press the tabs that hold the switch into the housing, push the switch out of the housing, turn the switch 180 degrees, and push it back in.
- That changes

to B A
