DEC power control? How do it know?

WC-596, whatever that is; heavy solid steel case as well. I wonder if they're "badge engineered." There are six switched outlets, two unswitched outlets, a 20A circuit breaker, two 120VAC plastic three-pin (two of which are used) connectors for fans and one plastic three-pin connector (two of which are used) that when shorted completes the circuit for the relay coil and switches the 6 outlets on. -- R.
