I would like to wire an LED in parallel with the disconnect switch fitted with a 5k Ohm resistor to give a visual confirmation the switch is operating. Is the voltage through the wire 12v or less?
Thanks
Paul

You cannot do this due to the way the AP works inside. The only thing the AP disconnect switch can hook to is ground. If you put other voltages on this wire things will not work and you could damage the AP.

You can wire in a resistor in parallel with the switch and we can warn you if the wire is broken, which is a pretty good fail safe.
