 Switches - Is Up 'On' or 'Off'?
I am just in the middle of making my new switch panel and became interested to know what CF members thought of the rationale of toggle switch positions with regard to ON & OFF.
In Oz, it is customary to move the lever DOWN to switch the circuit ON.
What direction do you move the switch on your boat (or your country).
I am comfortable with either direction as in my field (avionics), it is customary to move the lever UP to switch the circuit ON and correct me if I am wrong but I understand this is the norm. in the USA.
