Installing the Rotary Switch, Pots, and LED
Instructions are the same for all versions from this
poit on!
The rotary switch that comes with your Large Beaver kit is a 3 pole 4 position rotary switch.
The 3 poles are labelled A, B, and C. The 12 throws (4 x 3) are labelled 1 - 12. Throws 1 - 4
belong to pole A. Throws 5 - 8 belong to pole B. And throws 9 - 12 belong to pole C. When
your switch is in position 1, pole A is connected to throw 1, pole B is connected to throw 5,
and pole C is connected to throw 9. When your switch is in position 2, pole A is connected to
throw 2, pole B is connected to throw 6, and pole C is connected to throw 10. When your
switch is in position 3, pole A is connected to throw 3, pole B is connected to throw 7, and
pole C is connected to throw 11. And when your switch is in position 4, pole A is connected
to throw 4, pole B is connected to throw 8, and pole C is connected to throw 12.
Makes sense? If id doesn't, that's OK. You don't need to know how the switch works. Any
way you can fit it into the PCB will work....as long as you don't forcibly make the switch fit.
