A small-sized operation switch wiring mechanism which can easily set an address without using an address setting device. The operation switch wiring mechanism includes a device body formed at three-module size. Disposed on the front surface of the device body are operation buttons which cover operators of eight operation switches individually assigned with addresses corresponding to the addresses of relays, and an operator of a rotary switch which alternatively selects a combination of the addresses of the operation switches among a plurality of combinations. In the device body, a signal processor transmits a transmission signal including operation information due to the manipulation of the operation switch, and the address of the manipulated operation switch to a signal line is received. A face cover that covers the entire front surface is detachably attached to the front surface of the device surface.

Operation switch wiring mechanism

Provided is an operating switch mechanism having a handle cover with enhanced rigidity. The operating switch mechanism has a chassisin which individual switchesand a group switch are exposed from the front side. An indicator hole for passing light is formed in the chassisto at locations facing light-emitting diodes indicating operation states of lighting apparatuses in association with the group switch. A handle bodyis rotatably attached on the front side of the chassisso as to press the group switch. An indicator hole is formed at the location corresponding to the indicator hole formed in the chassis. A handle coveris rotatably attached on the front side of the handle body. An indicator hole is formed at the location corresponding to the indicator hole formed in the handle body. A concave groovefor attaching an indicator windowis formed on the front side. A protrusionis formed on the rear side of the handle coverso that a portion corresponding to the concave grooveprotrudes towards the handle body
