Chapter 6, Problem 8RQ
Explanation of Solution
Comparison on the method of operation of different switches:
Based on the operational point of view, switches are divided into three types as follows:
- Manually operated switch
Mechanically operated switch- Proximity switch
Manually operated switch | Mechanically operated switch | Proximity switch |
Manually operated switches are controlled by hand. | Mechanically operated switches are automatically controlled by parameters such as pressure, position, or temperature. | Proximity switches does not need any physical contact to sense the presence or absence of a target. |
These include toggle switches, pushbuttons switches, selector switches, Push button switches are most commonly used as manually operated switches... |

1. Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 27–2. Would it be possible to replace the hand-off-auto switch in this circuit with a hand-off-auto switch that contained a common terminal and center Off position like the HOA switch shown in Figure 27–1? Explain your answer.
Q. No.6 : An alarm system has three different control panels in three different locations. To enable the system, switches in at least two of the panels must be in the on position. If fewer than two are in the on position, the system is disabled. Design a circuit to control the switches.
