Meaning, if it is at position 1, and I turn it right to position 2, can I then turn it left again back to position 1? Lamp rotary switches for instance, have a ratcheting mechanism and only work one way. Do these operate in the first or second way?</p>

I see that the original was a regular (bank) dip switch assembly - this certainly does look a lot more convenient if you have to change channels often :)</p>

The truth table for the complement is the inverse of the standard. Complement rotary switch models have a different color rotor. Check the datasheet.</p>

Unfortunately it doesn't work as I expected, they are too hard to turn.</p>
