Is this a momentary key switch? Meaning, is it spring loaded to return to the off position when a momentary on contact is made? Thanks.

Yes. When I turn it,it automatically goes back to the original position. Works perfectly

I had someone install this for me, but I think to answer your question - yes... once you put in the key and turn it to open the garage, the switch will automatically move to its original position then you can remove the key.

Yes it dose it is back plate that it is about 1/4 of the size of a wall socket plate which I was not happy with a lot smaller than it looks

It is not a three position switch but a two position switch! It will only slide right and back to center. It's normal function is to be in the center and there it allows automatic on/off and manual on/off. If you slide it to the right, it will lock the switch off. You do this if you temporarily want to suspend automatic on/off.

What this switch does when the key is turned to "on" is complete the circuit from a battery to whatever it is you are powering. So, yes, I suppose it could work as a security device to prevent a battery from powering a circuit, such as the starter motor on a vehicle, if you removed the key and the switch was located somewhere that was not obvious. I have not tried it, but I think that even without the key one could easily rig something to complete a circuit, so having the unit in a non-obvious location would seem prudent.

No, this switch does not automatically return to the off position. It has 3 distinct positions. On-Off-On. You must physically move it to each position. Try searching for a "momentary" switch.

I programmed one of the small buttons vs the large one, much harder to get pressed in your pocket, so far no accidental triggers. I used the large button at my old house, and when I kept my keys in my pocket, it would trigger the opener all the time.Never had it trigger by lobbing my keys around, only by accident while in my pocket.

These are momentary push buttons. The connection is only active while you are holding down the button.

It's not a momentary solution. Power stays on until YOU decide to "unclick" it. It is an awesome lil gadget. I totally recommend it.

It's not a momentary switch and for sure you can use it for computer ......the thing is, this switch is intended for automotive use.

Your hand on the grip activates the switch. It doesn't take much pressure to turn it on. It turns off when you let go. The way it is designed to be used makes this switch mechanism logical.

It is any normaly open, (N.O.) momentary switch. used on white wires to set flash rates etc. Instead of touching white wires momentarly together. I use tiny switches from Radio Shack, soldered on with heat shrink over it. It is not needed, yet makes it easy to program.

This is not a Momentary On Switch. The center position is OFF. One direction makes contact with the two center connections and two of outer connections. The other direction makes contact with the center connections and the other two outer connections. Hence a DPDT (Double Throw Double Throw) Switch. Use a meter to check continuity between connections to verify which connections are made at a switch position.

No! It is not momentary! Its a normal on off switch that is on the floor and is activated by your foot. Works well at my home.

These switches are momentary switches that rest in a neutral position. This way there is no leaving it in one position, it is always ready to be turned on or off.

I doubt the remote uses mechanical switches, but, if it does, the technical answer is contact bounce. In other words, when a button is pressed and then released its contacts don't separate cleanly and multiple signals are generated. The effect of contact bounce is taken care of in hardware or software so it it shouldn't be a problem. Given the large number (millions?) of remotes in use, if this was a common problem I'm sure it would be well known, but I don't believe that's the case. You may have a defective remote, but I'd try putting in fresh batteries to see if that is the problem.

The other answer shows how the regular switch works, however if you have the model with a safety switch, all you need to do it look at the very end of the handle. You will see a small sliding swithch button. Just move to the opposite end. It will now be in a safety mode.

No real "switch" per se, you rotate the battery compartment door a small amount and that is the off position, if you turn it too far, then the compartment opens. Poor design IMVHO. There are small markings on the body of the tool to indicate this.

No it is not.. been through this myself. I needed a simple on off contact switch this one was it.
