Santon Domestic Firefighter Safety Switch

DFS-14-W

1. Gain valuable time in case of a fire

The DFS works according to standard international firefighter routines, resulting in valuable time being gained in case of a fire. This routine starts by shutting down all AC power in a house. As soon as this AC power is shut down, the DFS will automatically switch off and isolate all PV modules. Firefighters only have to follow their regular routine and do not have to waste valuable time eliminating the risk of the PV modules on the roof!

2. Completely isolate Pv modules

The DFS is powered by a motorized X-type switch and can therefore be located directly at the PV modules. This minimizes the amount of cabling with dangerous high voltage and leads to a completely powerless situation in the house, maximizing safety when needed.

3. Auto reset

A power down situation can occur at any time and for many reasons. The DFS has an auto reset function. The DFS automatically switches off if the regular AC power is down and automatically switches on when the regular AC power is on again. No manual reset is necessary every time the power has been down!

4. Contains the world’s most PoPular dc switch

The DFS is equipped with the Santon X-type switch, which is the most popular DC switch for PV applications. The Santon ‘snap-action’ spring mechanism, with its response time of only 3 milliseconds, reduces the electric arc. In combination with the self-cleaning contacts, this increases durability and safety. Therefore the Santon X-type switch has been selected by many inverter manufacturers as their no. 1 DC switch.
