Potter Electric Signal Co. Us RCDS-1 Releasing Circuit Disable Switch

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US RCDS-1 is a releasing circuit disable switch designed for use in fire suppression and waterflow control systems. This switch provides a manual means to disable a releasing circuit, allowing technicians to safely perform maintenance, testing, or system modifications without triggering an unintended suppression discharge. It is a single-unit component intended for installation by licensed fire protection or electrical contractors working within fire alarm and suppression control systems.

The RCDS-1 is applied in fire suppression system control panels and waterflow equipment installations, particularly in settings where releasing circuits must be temporarily isolated. Typical applications include pre-action, deluge, and other electrically actuated suppression systems where circuit disable capability is required for safe servicing. It is sold and installed as an individual unit.

Key Features

• Disables releasing circuit output to prevent unintended suppression system activation during service
