Abstract
A control apparatus includes a control signal generation unit which generates a control signal Sct, a transmission unit, and a communication switch. The transmission unit transmits a transmit signal St including the control signal Sct to a control target via wireless communication. The communication switch has a first communication disabled state and a communication enabled state, makes a transition from the first communication disabled state to the communication enabled state by a maneuver from outside, and returns to the first communication disabled state when released from the maneuver. Also, the communication switch enables wireless communication by the transmission unit during a period of being kept in the communication enabled state and disables wireless communication by the transmission unit during a period of being kept in the first communication disabled state.
