Overview
The Open Switch Latch is intended to convert a momentary switch input into a toggle switch output. The device was developed as several assistive switch users requested the ability to control lights and other devices in a semi-permanent manner, but do so, utilizing their preferred momentary assistive switches.
How To Use
To use the Switch Latch, a momentary switch is plugged into the 3.5 mm input jack. A switch adapted device is then plugged into the 3.5 mm output jack. The power switch must be enabled to use the device. However, the device will turn itself off if there is no plug inserted into the input jack.
For full details please refer to the User Guide.
Disability Type Description
This switch modifier is for users of Assistive Switches who want to be able to turn something on, and keep it on without having to hold the button down the entire time.
