labelled "AUX On/Off" and I didn't know what it did.
On the 861 power conditioner there is a connector labelled J2. Is
this where the switch connects up?
If it's a 3-pin AMP Commercial Mate-N-Lock, then yes it's the power
control bus.
I should have added:
There's a fairly good picture at

you don't know what those connectors look like. The one on the left is
the one that goes on each end of the control cable; the one on the
right is the one you'll find on the 861, 871 or 874 controllers and the
panel carrying the AUX switch. They are, incidentally, the same range
of connectors used for the full-size 4-way power connector on disk
drives and the like.
