Best Answer

The term "supervisory switch" in fire protection typically refers to switches that are used to signal the status of important settings, such as when a control valve is opened or a mechanical interlock is in an unsafe position.

A supervisory signal would result in a "fault" indication on a fire alarm control panel, if not also a specific "zone", functional reference or location for the switch.

Where is theTamper in Sprinkler system?

The Tamper switches for a fire sprinkler system are located on the main control valves which are located on either side of the backflow preventer for a wet type automatic fire sprinkler system. These switches are wired into the monitoring control system/alarm panel to ensure the valves remain open at all times (or not tampered with.) If the tamper switches are used they will show a supervisory trouble on the panel so the monitoring company or business will know there system is out of service.
