What dose inverting a limit switch actually do

Hi David,

This guide is to reverse the response of the limit switch if they are showing as 'triggered' when open and 'not triggered' when pressed closed, as this should be round the other way.

So your limit switch should be 'not triggered' when open and 'triggered' when pressed closed.

Thanks.
