This is a Normally Open Contact switch which makes or closes when the button is depressed. The closed contact permits operation of the driving machine, and stops operation of the driving machine when pressure is removed from the button, opening the contact. The contacts and button are both spring loaded to open automatically when the pressure is removed. The button comes with a 1/4" x 20 tap for insertion of a rod, if needed, to permit operation of the switch from a distance, such as through a wall where the switch and button are in the hatch and the activating rod end in the hall way.
