Claim:
1. A portable actuator assembly configured to manipulate a control mechanism of a safety switch, the portable actuator assembly comprising: a housing; an actuator associated with the housing and configured to selectively removably engage a control mechanism of a safety switch to manipulate a conducting condition of the safety switch; and a controller supported by the housing, associated with the actuator, and isolated from the control mechanism of the safety switch, the controller being programmable and being configured to control a configuration of the portable actuator assembly between a first configuration and second configuration; wherein in a first configuration of the portable actuator assembly, the actuator is able to manipulate the conducting condition associated with the control mechanism of the safety switch when the portable actuator assembly is engaged with the safety switch; and in a second configuration of the portable actuator assembly, the actuator is unable to manipulate the conducting condition associated with the control mechanism of the safety switch when the portable actuator assembly is engaged with the safety switch.
