Emergency Switch
EMERGENCY SWITCH / MANUAL ACTIVATION Emergency Switch
When a vehicle fire requires intervention from outside the platform, the suppression system must remain accessible without depending solely on the central controller. The Emergency Switch provides a dedicated manual activation path for vehicle fire extinguishing systems and is connected directly to the vehicle battery. Its independent electrical architecture allows the operator to initiate suppression during critical situations even when the main control unit is not the activation path.
Externally accessible manual activation interface with direct battery connection and electrical independence from the main fire suppression controller.
Dedicated Manual Suppression Access from Outside the Vehicle
The Emergency Switch provides a direct manual command point for activating fire extinguishers assigned to protected vehicle zones. These zones can include the crew compartment, engine bay, tyre area, vehicle body and other compartments defined by the suppression-system architecture.
Because the switch is intended for external access, it provides an additional activation route when the operator is outside the vehicle or when immediate manual intervention is required.
Direct Battery Connection Separate from the Main Controller
The Emergency Switch is connected directly to the vehicle battery and operates electrically isolated from the main fire suppression control unit. This arrangement creates a redundant activation path rather than routing the emergency command through the central controller.
The independent architecture is intended to preserve manual access to the suppression function during critical conditions in which reliance on a single control path would be undesirable.
OverrideUp to 3
Tubes
Simultaneous Manual Triggering Across Multiple Suppression Lines
The Emergency Switch can trigger up to three fire suppression tubes simultaneously, providing a manual override capability for rapid discharge across connected protection zones.
An integrated warning indicator supports operator awareness around the activation event by providing a visible or electronic warning indication.
