The center contact is the negative (or ground), while momentarily applying positive to either of the other two contacts will throw the switch in it’s direction. Wire your negative leads to the center terminal, and then you’ll need to use SPST temporary electronic switches to apply the positive power. You COULD use Atlas’s switch controller – they’ll handle that for you.
