Not sure on the site, but I can give you a few tips.

1. The 3 prongs on the button are:
Ground, Normally Open, Normally Closed

If you use Ground and Normally Open (NO), you will get the desired results.

2. I personally chose to daisy chain the ground wires from one control to the next. Some people advise against it - I've never had any problems and it saves you a lot of work!

3. I ran all of my wiring on the CP to a DB 25, just like you have on a printer cable. It works great, is in expensive, and handles 24 inputs + 1 ground. I have 3 CP's and each is done this same way - when I change panels, I unplug it and plug in the next. If you use Molex, you are stuck with using multiple connectors.

Good luck.
