The extract key switch provides controlled operation of extract fan plant associated with fire protection extinguishing systems. This ensures proper ventilation during and after fire suppression events to clear extinguishing agents and smoke from protected areas.
How does the key trapping feature work?
The key is trapped (retained) in the operated position, meaning once activated, the key cannot be removed until the switch is returned to the normal position. This provides positive indication that the extract system is active and prevents unauthorised deactivation.

What mounting options are available for the extract switch?
The unit can be surface mounted directly to walls or other suitable surfaces, or flush mounted using the optional M10FCLGT flush mount collar for a professional, integrated appearance.
When should the extract fan be activated?
The extract fan should typically be activated after extinguishant discharge to help clear the suppression agent and any remaining smoke or combustion products from the protected area, facilitating safe re-entry and system reset.
