Abstract
A fuse block having a rotary operator communicating with a door-mounted knob provides a sensor arm on the rotary operator for engaging the door handle to detect closure of the door. A slider may actuate a set of plates capturing a swing arm attached to the rotary operator preventing inadvertent movement of the rotary operator when the door is open.
