The Amerex Maintenance Bypass Switch provides the ability to mechanically disconnect the
Control Panel and Actuators of an Amerex Vehicle Fire Suppression System. The Maintenance
Bypass Switch can be used to interrupt Single or Dual zone fire suppression systems by
authorized or Key Holding personnel. This allows vehicle maintenance to be performed
reducing the possibility of accidental Fire System actuation. As a precaution, the keyed
tamper proof design does not allow the key to be removed when in Bypass Mode. The
Amerex system will display and sound a ‘Trouble’ condition when switched to Bypass Mode.
When used with SafetyNet systems, Actuation zones will also display an Actuator Fault in the
SafetyNet Event Log. The Maintenance Bypass Switch may be used with any Amerex Vehicle
Fire Suppression system equipped with AMP SuperSeal 1.5 style connectors. The key lock
and electromechanical switch are separated by an environmentally sealed over mold process.
