Figure 1. The common on one pole of the switch is connected to the upper or lower tag depending on switch position. The other pole of the switch is the same and is electrically isolated from the first.

  • Connect the monitor + and - to the common tags.
  • Connect one power source to the top tags, observing polarity.
  • Connect the other power source to the bottom tags, observing polarity.
