Actually, several cities around here in Michigan used PB-2 and PB-3 boxes that are shown in that video. The light switch under the PB (Pull-Lever Box), is used for manual control. Most agencies I have seen use a standard push button for that type of switch.

News you can count on...

Unless you're running a Mac or Firefox, than you're screwed.

They should start making these videos universal, instead of Microsoft Internet Explorer/Media Player only bull. *sighs*

I'm missing a plug in that cannot be found, and as far as I know, is no longer offered for Leopard users. *shrugs*

An elementary school in Valley Center (about fifteen miles from here) has a Thunderbolt on their grounds which can be tested by flipping a toggle switch in the principal's office which is connected to the main contactor. It is just an ordinary light switch.
