Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Waterproof controls



Hi Folks

I have seen lockout boxes for valves that when opened trip an alarm, 
this arrangement  could be reconfigured so that when the lockout box is 
opened a switch from the battery bank could be tripped, any folks out 
there in the oil or marine industry may have seen these lockout boxes.

Regards, Garry
