Wiring Micro Switches

[Kirley]

I am looking for help on how to wire a micro switch for my lifting bridge.

 

My switch has 3 terminals

1. Is common and connected to one of the bus wires.

2. The other two terminals are classed as normally open terminal (NO) and normally closed (NC) terminal.

 

Do I wire the other bus wire to the normally closed (NC) terminal thus only providing power when the bridge is in the down position?

Here is a wiring diagram http://www.micromark.com/html_pages/instructions/82611i/82611microswitches.htm

 

Use the normally open contact for the bus, when the bridge is down the switch is open circuit, bridge up circuit closed.
