DESCRIPTION
The Key Maintenance Switch disconnects a single actua-
tion circuit in the system and shunts the metron to pre-
vent an accidental discharge during maintenance
operations. Alternatively, the Key Maintenance Switch
may be used to disconnect a single detection circuit,
when that circuit is only wired with powered detectors.
The Key Maintenance Switch is compatible with Kidde
Fire Systems Vehicle panels. Refer to the installation wir-
ing diagram for detailed wiring connections.
• A single LED illuminates to indicate "SYSTEM
ARMED" when the key is removed. The key can only
be removed in the armed position. When the key is
inserted and turned to disconnect the circuit, the LED
will not illuminate. ELECTRICAL
