CHOICES AND LIMITATIONS
DESCRIBING STOPS
When a 1-pole switch has less than the maximum
number of positions, consider also the stop
system. Following is the arrangement for a 6
position switch with the position 1 isolated.
STOP 1P2 3 4 5 6 STOP
The word “STOP” indicates the conventional
switch stops, which limit rotation to positions 1
through 6. To isolate position 1 we insert only
one isolation post–between terminals 1 and 2.
The stop system already prevents rotation
beyond terminal 1.
In multi-pole switches, the stop system and
isolation system described for the first pole,
automatically affects the other poles. In the
example above, isolating position #1 on the first
pole isolates the first position (terminal #7) of
the second pole. See Standard Switch Pages
for a 2 pole circuit diagram for a 30° throw
switch.
Let's isolate position 1 and position 2 from all
other positions and from each other. We indicate
isolation posts as shown here:
12P1P2P3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
To isolate just position 1, describe like this:
12P1P2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
To isolate positions 1 and 2 from all other
positions, but not from each other, do this:
12P1 2P3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
ORDERING INFORMATION
Indicate this as a SPECIAL switch to ensure
that no error is made when the order is entered.
Sample part number:
SPECIAL
09A30-04-1-12N
PULL 12P1P2P3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
This sample part number orders a Series 9
standard style, four deck, one pole per deck,
twelve positions per pole rotary switch with non-
shorting contacts and isolation posts between
positions 12 and 1, between 1 and 2, and
between 2 and 3.
This lengthy order number is required to prevent
any possible confusion in ordering the switch.
When we receive your order, we will assign a
special “short form” part number to facilitate
future identification of this special switch. This
number is sequentially assigned as the need
arises, and is non-descriptive. A typical “short
form” special part number might be 09YY12345.

DESCRIBING POSITIONS
The Grayhill system for isolating positions lets
you choose the positions to be isolated. Grayhill
inserts isolation posts next to the positions to be
isolated. Consider a continuous rotation switch
of the Series 09A with a 30° angle of throw. The
terminals are listed here from 1 through 12 with
a space between each to indicate where isolation
posts might be inserted.
