Finally, the case where the contact S0 and the contact S2 of the changeover switch 325 are connected will be described. In this case, if the semiconductor switch 511 of the centralized panel 5 is in the open state, it is equivalent to a circuit in which the contact S0 and the contact S1 of the changeover switch 325 are connected, and
11 is in the closed state, the contact S0 of the changeover switch 325
And a contact S3.

In any case, the regulator 313
Is grounded via the resistor 327 and the LED 321, so that a current flows through the LED 321. Therefore, while the operation power is supplied via the power supply line, the LED 321 keeps lighting.
