2.1.6 POWER Rocker Switch (Main Power)
Located on the far right of the instrument panel and labeled POWER, this switch turns on
main power for the entire system (including the head when the HEAD switch is ON).
When this switch is turned ON, it will illuminate. The switch is also equipped with a
circuit breaker to protect against overload conditions. It is rated at 15 A (120 VAC). In
order to operate the Tabber simply as a transport base with no tabbing or labeling
operation, the POWER rocker switch must be in the ON position and the HEAD rocker
switch must be in the OFF position. A normally closed relay bypasses the stop signal
from the HEAD when the HEAD switch is off enabling the base to simply be used as a
transport base. When the HEAD switch is ON, the NC relay becomes energized, opens,
