Hi folks. I have a three way code 83 shinohara. I’ve undermounted my two tortoise switch machines and have a rotary switch, plus some dpdt’s etc… Can someone point me to a shematic or provide instructions as to how I wire these together.
Thanks.
Generally a three way turnout is just two regular turnouts nearly on top of one another, and would be wired as such. Are you saying you don’t want to just use two DPDT switches for them? Is it that you want the rotary to point to one of the three outlets? Is the rotary a single or double-pole?
If the latter and a single pole rotary, I would do it like this:
Each of the three positions of the rotary swich choose one of the routes. Forgot to draw it on the image but the top rotary position would be “right” and the bottom would be the “left”. As you can see there are huge advantages of using AC power with the tortoise when dealing with complicated multi-tortoise scenarios.
