Legrand's fireman's switch

Legrand fireman’s emergency switches enable easy disconnection to the mains from outside a warehouse structure, quickly and effectively, in the event of a fire, at no risk to the user.

These weatherproof emergency switches ensure the power supply to high voltage signage is completely isolated by the fire chief, from outside the building in a crisis. For enhanced safety, an automatic locking device in the OFF position prevents accidental switching on and destructive tampering. A device also prevents the box from being opened when in the ON position

These unobtrusive switches are usually positioned at a height of 2,75 m for easy accessibility to firemen who have to switch off the sign should an electrical hazard arise.

IP65 – IK 08 is the standard index of protection, which means these switches are shielded from dust and water. The box of the switch is manufactured from highly resistant plastic, making it suitable for use even in corrosive environments.

Legrand has a policy to manufacture products in accordance with stringent local and international quality and safety specifications. This range conforms to BS 7671, chapter 463 and 537, and SABS 10142-1 standards. These switches are available from Legrand’s national distributor and wholesaler network, which also offers a professional advisory, spare parts and after-sales service.
