Firemans switch

[tazz]

Worth looking at the ucl pdf I have posted, basically the switch needs to be labeled, 1. firefighters switch 2. what its switching eg, shop sign 3. opperation pull down to isolate.
So would say its failure would be, operation wrong way round, and no signage

surely whipping off the switch front and turning it 180 deg is a 5 min job or am i missing something startlingly obvious ?

No your totally right, there all manufacture the same way, so it must be installed upside down

Could be wired in Pyro....more frightening than a fire, for some.

No it was the vegimite sandwich on top of the isolater which gave it away...!!!

No that would indicate a typical telectrix job. Says it helps him think better.

This may come as a stupid question.

Is the writing on the lid the right way up?

.. No

Pray tell Archy, where in this thread does it say the writing is upsidedown?

Between the lines of post number 1, Sire!

The switch must be painted black and white to hide it between the lines. With out a make / model number, are we sure this is a legitimate fire switch?
Yes I do know what it says in the regs and what the UCL recommendations are.
Is it a genuine fire switch or a bog standard MEM 15A metal clad isolator.
