2. Nga waahanga matua
- Mahi Wā Poto: Rocker switch is momentary, meaning it springs back to the center off position when the toggle is released. The switch will reset automatically back to off if released.
- He ngawari ki te whakamahi: When the red wire is connected to the positive pole of the power supply and the black wire is connected to the negative pole of the power supply, and the blue wire is connected to the motor, the DC motor will reverse the motor direction through the switch. It is configured for polarity reversal. Simply connect power and ground and the two DC motor leads and the switch will reverse the motor direction.
- Voltage & o nāianei: 10A at 250V AC and 20A at 125V AC or (12 VDC 16A 250V).
- Taupānga: Very suitable for linear actuator motor.
- Hanga Roa: Made with robust metal and plastic components for reliable performance.

5. Setup and Installation (Wiring)
Proper wiring is crucial for the correct operation of the rocker switch, especially for polarity reversal applications with DC motors.
Image: Detailed wiring diagram showing connections for power (red/black wires) and motor (blue wires) to the switch pins for polarity reversal.
Nga Waea Waea:
- Connect the red wire to the positive (+) pole of your power supply.
- Connect the black wire to the negative (-) pole of your power supply.
- Connect the blue wires to the DC motor leads. The switch is pre-configured for polarity reversal.
- Ensure all connections are secure using the provided wire connectors or other appropriate methods.
6. Mahi
This rocker switch features a momentary ON/Off/ON action, meaning it returns to the center OFF position when the pressure is released.
Image: Visual representation of the three switch positions: ON (up), OFF (center), and ON (down). The switch automatically returns to the center OFF position when released.
To activate, press the rocker to either the upward or downward ON position. The switch will automatically return to the center OFF position once you release it. This momentary action is ideal for applications requiring temporary power or direction changes, such as controlling linear actuators for precise movement.
7. Nga tono
The DKARDU rocker switch is versatile and suitable for various applications requiring momentary polarity reversal for DC motors.

- Linear Actuator Motors
- Power Wheels Quad
- Motorhome Equipment
- Car and Boat Accessories
- Other DC Motor Control Systems requiring polarity reversal
8. Te Raru
Kāore te pana e whakautu:
- Verify all wire connections are secure and correctly matched to the power supply and motor.
- Tirohia te voltage to ensure it matches the switch's rated voltage (12V DC or 110V-220V AC, depending on application).
- Ensure the current draw of your application does not exceed the switch's maximum current rating (10A at 250V AC, 20A at 125V AC, or 16A at 12V DC).
Mahi Mokowhiti:
- Inspect wires for any damage or fraying.
- Ensure terminals are clean and free of corrosion.
9. Tiaki
The DKARDU rocker switch is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.
- Keep the switch clean and free from dust and debris.
- Avoid exposing the switch to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures beyond its operating range.
- Periodically check wire connections for tightness, especially in high-vibration environments.
