Utc Fire Security 3040-w Spdt Latching Led Panic Switch

Product Description

The UTC FIRE SECURITY 3040-w is a latching panic switch designed for alarm and security system applications. When the user pulls the actuating lever, the internal SPDT switch activates and an external LED lights and latches, providing a clear visual indication that the alarm circuit has been triggered. The latching function ensures the activated state remains visible until manually reset, making it well suited for installations where tamper-evident alarm confirmation is required. This type of device is typically installed by licensed security or low-voltage technicians.

The 3040-w is used in commercial and residential security systems where a manual panic activation point is needed. It is commonly installed at reception desks, teller stations, service counters, and other locations requiring discreet emergency activation. The lever-pull mechanism allows for quick, deliberate actuation without requiring excessive force. The built-in LED latching indicator gives monitoring personnel immediate visual confirmation of an alarm event at the device location.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 guidelines. De-energize the alarm control panel and isolate the relevant zone circuit before wiring the device. Verify that the panel's zone input is compatible with the SPDT switch configuration before completing the connection. Do not mount the device where the actuating lever could be accidentally engaged during normal operations.
