What Tamper Switch Means?

A tamper switch is a mechanical and electrical device connected to a fire protection valve that signals a warning if the valve partially or fully closes. Regardless of the type of tamper switch, they all function similarly. The tamper switch features an actuating unit, usually a lever or cable with a resting position.

What is the difference between tamper switch and flow switch?

Flow switches detect water movement or drop in pressure, and activate alarms. Tamper switches detect when a sprinkler valve has been partially to fully closed and usually activates a trouble signal at the control, although some cities require them activate alarms.

Are tamper switches normally open or closed?

NO is Normally Closed or NO is Normally Open

Once the switch made by the third party is installed inside the waterflow, tamper, or pressure switch assembly, the lever or piston may normally push the button and quit pushing when there's an alarm or supervisory.
