First Claim
Patent Images
1. For controlling a plurality of electrical loads, an electrical load management system comprising:
- utility control means for transmitting load management signals to control the loads;
load management switch means responsive to the control means and associated with each of the loads for responding to the load management signals from said utility control means and for regulation operation of the loads;
portable test means for receiving data and visually displaying the data; and
said load management switch means having storage means for storing the data concerning the load management signals and having transmitting means coupled to said storage means for autogenically transmitting the stored data so that when said portable test means is within range of the transmitting means, said portable test means can receive data transmitted by said transmitting means.
