I ordered my on/off switch and reset button from crazearcade. I cannot seem to figure out how to wire the momentary push button for my reset switch. When testing with my multi meter, current only flows through the pushbutton when the button in pressed. Don't I want the reset button to cut off voltage momentarily? How am I susposed to use this?

This is the part I'm refering to:

Thanks for any help.

Use the switch to activate a relay on the 5 volt supply.

Push to activate the relay.
Relays usually have normally open and/or normally closed contacts.
