Why Choose the IMO FireRaptor FRS-ESW1 Emergency Rapid Shutdown Switch?
The IMO FRS-ESW1 FireRaptor Emergency Rapid Shutdown Switch is a dedicated emergency stop station designed for use with the IMO FireRaptor Rapid Shutdown System. Installed at an easily accessible location, the switch provides a simple and highly visible method of manually initiating rapid shutdown of photovoltaic (PV) strings, helping reduce hazardous DC voltages during emergencies or maintenance. It incorporates an internal 24 V DC power supply to interface directly with compatible FireRaptor rapid shutdown units.
Operation is straightforward—pressing the large emergency push button initiates rapid shutdown in less than one second, while resetting is achieved by twisting the button anti-clockwise. The enclosure is rated IP65, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor installation in commercial, industrial and residential photovoltaic systems.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with FireRaptor FRS-01 and compatible rapid shutdown devices, the FRS-ESW1 provides installers and emergency responders with a reliable manual shutdown solution that enhances PV system safety and supports modern solar installation practices.
