POWER ROCKER SWITCH
FEATURES
1. Power switches with an electromag-
netic reset function which meet the
need for energy savings in equipment
and for safety.
netic reset function which meet the
need for energy savings in equipment
and for safety.
Applications for these switches include
promoting energy savings in equipment
(by reducing power consumption when
OA equipment is in standby mode, for
example), preventing fires caused by
overheating of a heater inside equipment,
preventing electrical leaks, and automati-
cally turning off the power if the unit tips
over or is shaken. These switches feature
a built-in electromagnetic reset function

a built-in electromagnetic reset function
that shuts off the main power supply in
response to a signal that is received from
an external sensor.
