GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:1S/1Ö
English translation:1 NO/1 NC
Entered by: Robin Salmon (X)

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / building specifications (electrical)
German term or phrase: 1S/1Ö
- Leuchttaster, XXXX Baureihe 03, mit 1S/1Ö

I have found the "1S" as "single-sided" but am not sure if that fits here. As for the "1Ö", I am stumped. Maybe "Ö" stands for "Öffnung", but that is not helping me!
