The CB-1 control panel (our main coil power supply) uses a pair of lighted 
pushbuttons (the big Allen Bradley industrial kind) with guards. you have to 
arm the panel with a key (that I wear around my neck so if I'm making an 
adjustment it can't be fired). When the panel is armed the buttons light up 
showing they're hot. If only one button is pressed, nothing, if both are 
pressed, bang :) There is no possible way the coil can accidentally be 
fired. Everything fails to open, if you simply walk away from the panel, the 
coil stops the second either of the buttons is released.
