A common use - would be to use one printer with four computers. Each computer has a data cable leading to the 4-way switch - and the switch has one data cable leading to the printer. Each user turns the switch to the relevant position in order to use the printer.

How do you replace a 4 way flasher on a 1986 Chevy Astro Van?

It is quite simple to replace the four-way flasher relay switch in your 1986 Chevrolet Astro Van. The four-way flasher relay switch simply plugs in and out.


Intermediate switch layout?

The strappers from each two way switch go to the four way switch. The strappers from one switch go to terminals 1 & 2, the other two go to terminals 3 & 4.


Why are your blinkers not working on your 1992 cadillac deville but your 4 ways are?

It's a different flasher unit and has it's own 12 volt supply fuse. Check the fuse first. After the flasher unit and fuse, the only other things it can be are the stalk switch or the wiring. The blinkers and 4 ways use the same wiring from the 4 way switch onward. A working four way flasher is a good indication that all the wiring from the 4 way switch is good.


How is one light controlled by three switches?

That is called a 4 way light switch circuit. On each end of the circuit you install a 3way switch and in the middle you install a 4 way switch.Answer using British TerminologyIn the UK, 'three-way' switches are called 'two-way' switches (more logical, if you think about it!), and the 'four-way' switch is called an 'intermediate' switch.


How do you use four fours to make 25?

One way to use four fours to make 25 is 4 + 4 + 4 + √4, which equals 25.


Can a 4-way switch be used like a single pole switch. if so how is it wired?

Are you sure. They no longer produce a single pole switch in the color needed and we thought that a 4 - way could be sub'd. There is no reason that it would not work, electrically. The problem may be that it doesn't meet electrical code. If you use two terminals on the same side of the switch as you would with single pole, it should work.


What does a 4 way switch do?

For starters, a four way switch must be connected to either a four way switch or a three way switch on either side. Said differently, here are some common combinations: 3way---------4way-----------3way 3way---------4way-----------4way------------3way 3way---------4way-----------4way------------4way----------------3way etc. If you are using a four way switch anywhere in a circuit both ends must have three way switches. You can use as few as one four way between the three ways, or as many as you would like. First of all, connect your white (neutral) wire straight through every box, from the power source to the light fixture being controlled. That neutral has nothing to do with the switches. On your three way switches you will see two bright screws and one dark. (Excluding the green grounding screw). One three way switch will have its dark screw connected to the power source. Two wires will run from the bright screws to the next box (the 4 way switch box). Those two wires will connect to the two bright screws on one side of the four way. The four way also has dark screws, but two of them. Connect two wires to these two dark screws, and run them to the next switch box. If the next switch box is another 4 way, repeat this again and again until you get to the last switch (a three way). Wire the last three way as follows: the two wires coming from the previous 4 way go to the bright screws. The hot wire feeding the light fixture will be the one to connect to the single dark terminal of the last 3 way switch. That's it! As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
