An air compressor includes a cylinder and a piston reciprocably movable inside the cylinder, an electric motor configured to drive the pump, and a pressure switch, including a push-button for activating and deactivating the pressure switch, movable between first and second operating positions. A housing covers the pump electric motor and pressure switch. A switch, coupled to the housing and movable between first and second operating positions is configured to move the push-button such that when the switch is in the first operating position, the push-button is in the respective first position and, when the switch is in the second operating position, the push-button is free to switch between the first and the second position.

An external switch coupler includes: a guide tube having a first end and a second end, the first end configured to be attached to a door of a compartment in substantial alignment with both a hole in the door and a switch coupler within the compartment, and the second end configured to be disposed within an interior of the compartment and separated from the switch coupler by a gap when the door is closed; a coupling shaft configured to be operably placed within the guide tube, the coupling shaft having an electrically insulative member disposed between an coupler side adapter and a switch side adapter, and a length equal to or greater than a distance between the switch coupler and the hole in the door when the door is closed.

A control device may be configured to be mounted over a bezel portion of an electrical device and to control a lighting load. The control device may comprise a base portion having planar extensions removably attached or affixed thereto. The planar extensions may be adapted to be received in a gap between a faceplate of the electrical device and the bezel portion for holding the control device against the faceplate. The planar extensions may comprise barbs that allow for insertion of the extensions in the gap, and may bite into the faceplate to hinder removal of the control device. The planar extensions may be defined by a mounting structure that is configured to be received in the gap between the bezel portion and the faceplate. The mounting structure may protrude beyond a front surface of the faceplate.

A remote control device may be configured to be mounted over the toggle actuator of a light switch and to control a lighting load. The remote control device may comprise a base portion having planar extensions removably attached or affixed thereto. The planar extensions may be adapted to be received in a gap between a faceplate of the light switch and the toggle actuator for holding the remote control device against the faceplate. The planar extensions may comprise barbs that allow for insertion of the extensions in the gap, but may bite into the faceplate to hinder removal of the remote control device. The planar extensions may be defined by a mounting structure that is configured to be disposed between a yoke of the mechanical switch and the faceplate, and that protrudes beyond a front surface of the faceplate.

A remote control device may be configured to be mounted over the toggle actuator of a light switch and to control a load control device. The remote control device may include a mounting assembly and a control unit that is removably attachable to the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly may include a release tab that is configured to be operated from a locking position in which the control unit is secured to the mounting assembly, to a release position in which the control unit may be detached from the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly may include a clamp that is configured to engage with the toggle actuator of a mechanical switch to which the remote control device is mounted.

A jog dial according to the present invention can be used in an electronic device. The jog dial according to the present invention comprises: a dial knob rotatably provided on an upper surface of an operation panel of the electronic device; an object provided on the dial knob; and a detector provided below the operation panel, and detecting the object so as to output a signal, wherein the dial knob and the detector are separated from each other.

A dimmer includes a sole intensity actuator structured to be used for at least one of: adjusting light intensity based on a first user input during normal operation; or entering configuration mode based on a second user input and adjusting an end trim value based on a third user input; a sole intensity potentiometer coupled to the sole intensity actuator and comprising a variable resistor, the sole intensity potentiometer structured to measure an input voltage based on variable resistance, and a controller coupled to the sole intensity potentiometer and a driver circuit coupled to a bidirectional switching device, the controller structured to control dimmer operation, comprising receiving an input voltage signal and transmitting a dimming signal to the driver circuit, the dimming signal based at least in part on the signal.

A switch includes an actuator for moving the switch from an OFF position to an ON position. A resistor is connected in series between a first terminal and a second terminal, and limits inrush current that flows when the switch is moved from the OFF position to the ON position.

A remote control device may control electrical loads and/or load control devices of a load control system without accessing electrical wiring. The remote control device may include a control unit and a base for the control unit. The base may include a frame and a mounting tab that attaches to the paddle actuator of a mechanical switch. The mounting tab may be monolithic with the frame. Alternatively, the base may include a resilient attachment member that extends from the frame and is captively retained by the mounting tab. The frame and the attachment member may be configured such that the attachment member is held in a fixed in position by the frame, or such that the attachment member is translatable relative to the frame. The base may include one or more alignment members. The base may cause a rear surface of the frame to be biased against the mechanical switch.
