Is this switch break-before-make, make-before-break, or unrated?

A 3-position DPDT switch like this one is always break-before-make because when switching from one "on" position to the other, you go through the "off" position where all six terminals are disconnected from one another. If it were a 2-position DPDT switch, almost always it would be break-before-make to avoid momentarily shorting the inputs or the outputs while switching.

Sorry, I'm unable to answer this question but would be interested in the response when it is provided to rgmitch. Thanks

Your choice. All you are doing is breaking the circuit. Generally it is breaking the positive side (hence the red color of the switch). Worked great on my battery bank to cut off charging when not needed or based on battery temps.

No.A full push on the switch will turn it on or off, while a half push will cycle through the modes.

There is a tiny hole on the ring just inside the handle. Using the provided 'pin' tool , insert, depress and pull handle at same time. Do both and switch.

The switch has to be held down. My aerolatte broke after just a few uses. I do not recommend this product. Junk.

I suppose its based on your controller. In my case, you can set conditions and events. So if a condition is met, the switch can be triggered and then immediately be un-triggered making it "momentary". It is not as fast as a button press, but it is pretty quick (5 seconds or less).

It doesn't do ANYTHING. First time I used it I pushed the side buttons and the switches broke right off the solder. Was not able to get refund either. Do not buy this. I was never even able to use it once.

I have the same issue with one of my switches, it is ON all the time, have seen similar comments, it appears to be a common failure with these units. With that said I view it as an inconvenience not a safety issue. The output is only 12V and as long as each individual output is protected (as described) then each one should trip if it gets shorted or overloaded. However to be safe I would unplug the whole unit anytime you mess with the output wiring.

it is push button - you wouldn't want to keep it turned off anyway, as your system will register it as a failed node

A stomp switch is 99% of the time a maintained on-off switch. You'd typically only see a momentary switch on maybe a tuner/kill switch or a weird wah or something that isn't a continuous sound processing or effect.

Its a momentary switch. Its returns to center after you push it up or odwn.

No. The switch is passive, a straight line in and out through a push-button selector.

Thanks, i'll check for the switch on the back tonight. i'm sure the polarity is correct, red to lead (+) and black to ground (-) right?

DavE's answer was spot on. I used a standard hole punch and punched out a couple of shims, using the lid from an inexpensive TupperWare clone. The punched out holes fit perfectly into the inside of the rubber switch pad. I tried using two plastic shims first, thinking one would not be enough (they ARE very thin). However, that made the button too sensitive for the intermittent on feature (just a finger touch powered up the light). I removed one of the shims and the switch now works perfectly, using only one.

mine had a switch on it that froze up after it was jammed down to hard by a 5year old who was playing with it. Switch had three options: off, on, flashing.

Depends on what broke, I took mine apart and fixed a broken switch. One bad thing about these things, hard to get parts. Also battery went bad so I will have to somehow put a different one in.
