Re: Switch point position detection

Why not look at some of the low cost PNP prox sensors? it would require a junction box, a pair of relays and a power source. 2 of these, mounted in the tie below the throw bar with 2 bolts adjusted to just come into field when the bar is fully thrown each direction.

Re: Good Screwdrivers With Handles That Don't Dissolve?
