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.

Key Features:

  • Indicator post supervisory switch for fire protection valve monitoring
  • Detects valve position changes and sends supervisory signals
  • Mechanical position-sensing operation
  • SPDT or dual SPDT contact configurations (model dependent)
  • Corrosion-resistant enclosure for long service life
  • Designed for integration with fire alarm monitoring systems
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor fire protection applications
  • Easy installation on compatible post indicator valves

 

Applications:

  • Post indicator valves (PIV)
  • Fire sprinkler system monitoring
  • Fire alarm supervisory systems
  • Commercial buildings
  • Industrial facilities
