Description
TIP Indicator Post Supervisory Switch – Fire Valve Position Monitoring Device
The TIP Indicator Post Supervisory Switch is a reliable monitoring device designed to detect and report the position of post indicator valves (PIVs) and other supervised fire protection valves. It provides an electrical supervisory signal when a monitored valve is moved from its normal operating position, helping fire protection systems maintain proper readiness.
Designed for use in fire sprinkler and fire protection networks, the TIP Supervisory Switch features a durable, corrosion-resistant enclosure and a mechanical position-sensing mechanism for dependable operation in commercial, industrial, and outdoor applications. The switch integrates with fire alarm control panels to provide remote monitoring of valve status.
The device is installed directly onto compatible post indicator valves or valve assemblies and uses electrical contacts to transmit supervisory signals when valve position changes occur. Its compact design supports reliable installation and maintenance in modern fire protection systems.
