Key Switch Box

Two Primary Functions of the Key Switch Box

The Zonecheck key switch plays a vital role in fire suppression systems, serving two primary functions:

• Manual Testing: It enables authorized personnel to initiate a test cycle of the Zonecheck system, essential for verification and maintenance, especially when remote testing isn’t feasible.
• Valve Position Monitoring: The Zonecheck key switch monitors the position of a connected local valve, providing a signal to indicate whether the valve is correctly open or closed.

This functionality ensures effective operation and maintenance of fire safety systems.

Valve Monitoring for Enhanced Key Switch Box Safety

A key feature of the Zonecheck key switch is its ability to detect whether a connected monitored valve is left in the correct position. This valve monitoring function is critical for ensuring the integrity of your fire suppression system. The key switch box is typically connected to a control valve within the sprinkler system, providing real-time feedback on its status. This feature enhances safety by ensuring that water flow is not impeded when the system is needed.

Seamless Integration with Centralized Alarm Systems

The Zonecheck key switch seamlessly integrates with centralized alarm systems, providing electrical engineers with valuable data for comprehensive system monitoring. The switch box transmits both a fire signal from the flow switch and a fault signal from the monitored valve. These signals are typically sent to a fire alarm control panel (FACP), allowing for immediate notification of any issues within the system.

Benefits of the Zonecheck Key Switch Box
