### 2. Component Structure
The M22 system is modular. To make the **M22-WLKV-R** functional in an electrical circuit, you typically need the following three parts:
1. **The Operator (M22-WLKV-R):** The front-facing mechanical knob that the user turns.
2. **The Fixing Adapter (M22-A):** The mounting bracket that clips onto the back of the operator to hold contact blocks.
3. **Contact Blocks (M22-K series):** The actual electrical switching components.
* **M22-K10:** Normally Open (NO)
* **M22-K01:** Normally Closed (NC)

### 3. Electrical Operation
The "Electronic" part of this device relies on how it interacts with the contact blocks attached to it.
* **Switching Logic:** In a 2-position maintained switch, the knob can be turned to a specific angle (usually 60°). It stays in that position until manually turned back.
* **Circuit Control:** By turning the knob, internal cams press against the plungers of the attached **M22-K** contact blocks, either closing or opening the electrical path.
* **Applications:** Commonly used for "Hand/Auto" selection, "Start/Stop" functions, or toggling between two different power sources in a control panel.
### 4. Wiring Diagram Example
When wiring the contact blocks associated with this switch, a basic setup looks like this:
```markdown
[Power Source L1] ---- [M22-K10 (NO Block Terminals 3-4)] ---- [Motor Starter/Load] ---- [Neutral]
```
* **Position 0 (Left):** Contacts are Open (Circuit is OFF).
* **Position 1 (Right):** Contacts are Closed (Circuit is ON).
