Remote Smoke Detector Test Stations for HVAC Systems

Image of Product. Front orientation. Smoke Detector Test Stations.

Check that your HVAC smoke detector is working properly. Wire these test stations to your smoke detector controller to test difficult to access smoke detectors from a convenient location. Indicator lights show if your smoke detector is powered on, if it senses smoke, and if its sensors are too dirty to detect smoke and need cleaning. These test stations activate with the turn of a key so you don’t turn them on by accident.

Outlet-Box-Mount Push-Button-Actuator Emergency Stop Switches

Immediately cut power with a single push. The large palm-sized buttons on these switches provide an easy target, so they're easy to use even while wearing gloves. When the button is depressed, the switch latches and can be locked in that position using a lockout or padlock with a _9/32” shackle diameter (not included). All have positive force contacts that will open the circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They're rated NEMA 13 and IP65 for protection from oil/coolant spraying and washdowns.

Easy-Clean Touch Light Switches


White ABS Switch for 1 Gang	Stainless Steel Switch for 1 Gang	Replacement Switch

Flat and completely smooth, these switches are easy to wipe down. They’re rated NEMA 3R, so they seal out water that could damage the circuitry. They also won’t corrode from mild cleaning solutions. With just a light tap, you can switch lights on and off, even if you’re wearing gloves.

302-304 Stainless Steel—Switches with a stainless steel wall plate resist wear and tear better than switches with a plastic wall plate.

Outlet-Box-Mount Time and Day Activated Switches


24-Hr. Timing Cycle	7-Day Timing Cycle

Switches fit 1 gang outlet boxes. Program them to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They’re often used with lamps and other small electrical loads.

24-Hr. Timing Cycle—24-hr. switches repeat the same program daily. Position trippers around the clock dial to set on and off times.

7-Day Timing Cycle—Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.

Astronomical Timing—Use the astronomical timing to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset; this option can be used independently or in combination with timed programming.
