Abstract
A control module adapted to be attached to a power adapter is described. The control module may comprise a plurality of contact elements including a first contact element adapted to receive a line voltage and a second contact element adapted to receive a reference voltage; a switch coupled to receive the line voltage; a third contact element coupled to the switch and adapted to provide the line voltage to a power adapter; and a control circuit coupled to the switch and adapted to control the state of the switch; and a fourth contact element coupled to the control circuit; wherein the control circuit generates a signal adapted to be routed to the power adapter by way of the fourth contact element
