Most likely an abbreviation in Polish, unless it's Cyrillic (Russian) in
which case  you'll have to describe it better, as  there are no Cyrillic
letters which look like Z, or L..

>Toggle switch on face of box has the legends

backwards from

close as I could get with an English ASCII set.

It's  Russian . Transcribed to English it is "ARK" and "PRIEM".  "PRIEM"
means  "RECEIVE" but I don't know what the abbreviation "ARK" stands for
