Didn't it have battery backup? Inquiring minds want to know.
Ahhh... You don't put battery backup on a kill-all switch.... The idea behind it is to kill-all!! (*doh*) If you ever need to press it, you do so just before the guys-with-foam run in to douse your burning UPS...

People laugh histerically when the evil bad guy in a movie has a button labeled "Emergency Power Off" that shuts everything down... They say "No one would ever really have one of those..." Life is so ironic sometimes... Eric :)

It is not the same, but close: Some outdoor broadcasting vehicles I've seen have a RCCB bypass, that they engage when they go into direct live transmission. All rigging and rehearsal is done with protection against ground faults, but the transmission not. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE I need to discuss BUY-BACK PROVISIONS with at least six studio SLEAZEBALLS!!
