My Tank Thread
You're correct. I just can't think of a magnetic door switch that would be a normally-open switch. My prior comments were assuming a normally closed switch.Hey, sorry to bring up an older thread, but I'll be doing something similar to this myself soon, and I want to make sure I'm seeing things correctly.
There was some disagreement between using SERIES or PARALLEL in this scenario.
Wouldn't either way work, depending on if the switches are normally-opened or normally-closed?
Normally-closed in SERIES would mean that when all doors are closed, all switches are CLOSED, b/o box switch is ON. Opening any one door will open the switch and turn on the light (because programming).
Normally-open in PARALLEL would mean that when all doors are closed, all switches are OPEN, b/o box switch is OFF. Opening any one door will close that one switch and turn on the light (because programming).
Either way works, right? It just depends on the switches...
Correct my if I'm wrong so I don't mess up something :neutral:
