I had noticed this switch and wondered whether it served this sort of purpose, but didn't wish to alter it without the appropriate confirmation of its function. Presumably, the equivalent text in the Senator system manual (which I haven't managed to track down) says that this switch must be CLOSED - as the one on my unit is.
Having now acquired a copy of the Senator System Manual, I can confirm that page 10.10 of said manual contains a paragraph including the following:

A 'safety pin' type link, SW2, is* fitted on the PCB of the Adaptor... This switch must be closed.

*The text actually says "if" rather than "is", but this is surely a typographical error.
