THREE POSITION
A holding coil in ET toggle switches replaces
mechanical holding mechanisms to maintain the
toggle in an operate position. The toggle is released
by breaking the coil circuit.
When the hold in coil circuit is open, the ET
functions as a momentary contact switch. When the
coil is energized (through remote contacts), the
toggle lever will be held (maintained) in the operate
position. De-energizing the coil causes the lever to
snap back to the unoperated position. The lever can
also be released manually (overridden).
The solenoid has a hold in capacity only. It will not
pull the toggle lever into an operating position from
an unoperated position.
TWO POSITION.
ETs with two SPDT circuits have a magnetic hold
in capability in both directions from center. When
the lever is in the center position, the circuitry is as
shown in the illustration above. When the lever is
moved to one extreme position, switch (A) circuit is
transferred and switch (B) circuit is unchanged. In
the other extreme position, switch (B) circuit is
tranferred while switch (A) circuit is unchanged.

The illustration above shows the operating
sequence for an ET with one SPDT circuit. (1)
circuit closed manually; (2) energized solenoid
holds switch circuit closed; and (3) remote control
breaks solenoid circuit, releases the toggle, and
opens the switch circuit. (In ETs with two SPDT
circuits, both circuits transfer when the lever is
operated.)
