Circuit Cutout Relay
The circuit cutout relay
is
controlled
by
an inter-
lock contact on the multiple column brush unit and a
microswitch which
is
operated
by
the plastic cover over
the control panel. This relay
is
de-energized when the
control panel cover
is
raised or when the multiple brush
assembly
is
not properly mounted in its reading posi-
tion or on
its
holder near the control panel. De-energiza-
tion of this relay opens the machine circuits to prevent
the operator from receiving a shock when handling the
multiple column brush unit or the control panel wires.
