- Eerste druk: When the button is pressed for the first time, its internal contacts will switch state (e.g., from Normally Open to Closed, or Normally Closed to Open). This action will be maintained.
- Tweede pers: When the button is pressed a second time, its internal contacts will switch back to their original state. This action will also be maintained.
- Repeat presses will toggle the contact state.
The specific function (e.g., locking/unlocking a door, activating a light) depends on how the PB3A is wired into your control system.
