Description
The Maple Armor FW2732 Addressable Abort Switch is a high-reliability life-safety initiating device designed to provide manual override control over automated fire extinguishing release sequences.
Operating seamlessly on the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) of the Maple Armor FW2107 releasing panel, this switch occupies a single digital address. When an extinguishing zone enters its pre-discharge countdown, pressing and holding the momentary pushbutton immediately suspends agent release, safeguarding personnel inside protected server rooms, electrical vaults, and archives.
Compliant with UL 38, ULC-S528, and ULC-S527 standards, the Maple Armor FW2732 Addressable Abort Switch combines a durable metal faceplate, a visible status LED, and electronic handheld addressing to deliver dependable life-safety performance.

⚙️ Engineering & Architectural Resources
Verify abort station wiring modes (IRI, NYC, AHJ-specific modes), pre-discharge timer durations, and manual release priorities in compliance with national NFPA 72 Fire Alarm Code Standards and NFPA 2001 Clean Agent Standards before commissioning.
Pair this abort station with our compatible Maple Armor Fire Alarm Systems to complete your suppression layout.
Momentary Suppression Override & Personnel Safety Assurance
The primary life-safety function of the Maple Armor FW2732 Addressable Abort Switch is to prevent unwarranted gaseous agent discharges while building occupants evacuate a protected hazard area.
When cross-zone detectors trigger a pre-discharge warning countdown, occupants or maintenance engineers inside the protected space can immediately press and hold the large red pushbutton on the Maple Armor FW2732 Addressable Abort Switch. This active hold signal instructs the FW2107 control panel to pause the timer or halt the solenoid discharge sequence according to programmed local authority (AHJ) modes.
The rugged metal faceplate resists mechanical wear in harsh mechanical and industrial rooms, while digital SLC communication ensures instantaneous signal transmission back to the central panel without requiring auxiliary interposing relays.
- Instant Pre-Discharge Override: Holding the momentary switch pauses extinguishing release to allow safe personnel egress.
- Durable Metallic Construction: Built with a heavy-duty metal faceplate designed for high-traffic industrial and commercial environments.
- Single Address Loop Efficiency: Integrates directly into the Maple Armor addressable SLC loop without consuming external monitor modules.
- Electronic Digital Addressing: Swiftly addressed using the handheld FW2411 programmer to eliminate mechanical rotary switches.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How does the Maple Armor FW2732 Addressable Abort Switch function during a fire emergency?
A: When a releasing zone enters an alarm or pre-discharge countdown, pressing and holding the abort pushbutton immediately holds or cancels the suppression releasing timer, preventing the release of extinguishing agents while personnel exit the room.
Q2: What extinguishing agents can be controlled with the FW2732 abort station?
A: It is compatible with all major suppression agents controlled by the FW2107 panel, including FM-200, Novec 1230, CO₂, Inergen, Argonite, and pre-action deluge sprinkler systems.
Q3: Does the abort switch stay latched when pressed?
A: No. The FW2732 features a momentary pushbutton that must be held down to maintain the abort state, adhering to standard NFPA 2001 and UL safety mandates.
Q4: How many loop addresses does the FW2732 consume on the panel?
A: It occupies only one logical address on the Maple Armor Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) loop, supporting up to 252 total devices per loop.
Q5: What electrical backboxes are compatible with this abort switch?
A: It mounts semi-flush directly onto standard North American single-gang electrical junction boxes or surface mounts using a compatible single-gang metallic surface box.
Q6: Which fire alarm control panels support the FW2732?
A: The FW2732 is designed specifically for Maple Armor Series 2 control panels equipped with agent releasing capabilities, primarily the FW2107 releasing panel.
