   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_Signal_Switching_Device

   The device usually acts as the interface of a sensor (such as a light curtain), designed to signal a safety-related event, typically when the light curtain beam's being "broken". OSSD signals are the outputs from the protective device (light curtain or scanner) to a safety relay .

5. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   When the dimmer is at 50% power, the switches are switching their highest voltage (>325 V in Europe) and the sudden surge of power causes the coils on the inductor to move, creating a buzzing sound associated with some types of dimmer; this same effect can be heard in the filaments of the incandescent lamps as "singing". The suppression ...

6. Lighting control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_system

   A complete sensor consists of a motion detector, an electronic control unit, and a controllable switch/relay. The detector senses motion and determines whether there are occupants in the space. [ 9 ] It also has a timer that signals the electronic control unit after a set period of inactivity.

7. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   Two light switches in one box. The switch on the right is a dimmer switch. The switch box is covered by a decorative plate. The first light switch employing "quick-break technology" was invented by John Henry Holmes in 1884 in the Shieldfield district of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1]
