Title: Wiring Cocktail Start Button to iPAC
Post by: jdbailey1206 on March 19, 2013, 08:24:31 am

Quick question.  Just wondering if I can wire this http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187 (http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187) to this
http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html)

Thanks in advance for all the input.

Yep. Switches are switches, and wires are wires. It all makes a ciruit. I see three terminals on the switch, if they're labelled wire the NO contact to the IPAC and the COM contact to ground. But one terminal might be for an LED, hard to tell without a spec sheet.

Nephasth is right on the money but if this is an LED make sure you understand the voltage required.  They can be tricky and I thought the iPac can only handle 5v.  If that button requires 12volt you might want to reach out to Andy W. on the iPac before terminating it into there.
