The 421 Switch includes indicators correspond- ing to each input to show which is currently

The 421 Switch is powered by a separate univer- sal voltage supply or may be powered by any DC supply from 6 to 15V, at under 3W. It has rubber feet that may be removed to reveal mounting holes for permanent installation.
