Abstract

See full text

A control device includes a controller and a safety disconnect mechanism that is illuminable. The controller couples to a power supply line and a load line. Further, the controller is operable to control a power output on the load line using a power supplied by the power supply line. The safety disconnect mechanism is manipulatable between (i) an engaged state, coinciding with the power supply line being electrically coupled to the load line, and (ii) a disengaged state, coinciding with the power supply line and the load line being electrically decoupled, so that no power output is provided on the load line. A lighting element can be provided with the safety disconnect mechanism, where the lighting element is configured to have at least a first illumination state that is indicative of the safety disconnect mechanism being in the engaged position, and a second illumination state that is indicative of the safety disconnect mechanism being in the disengaged state.
