Why Choose the IMO FireRaptor FRS-ESW1-24 Emergency Rapid Shutdown Switch?
The IMO FRS-ESW1-24 FireRaptor Emergency Rapid Shutdown Switch is a high-capacity emergency shutdown station designed for use with the IMO FireRaptor FRS-01 Rapid Shutdown System. Featuring an integrated 24 V DC Type 24 power supply, it provides a simple and reliable method of manually initiating rapid shutdown of photovoltaic (PV) arrays while supporting installations of up to 100 solar panels.
Installed in an accessible location, the FRS-ESW1-24 allows emergency responders, installers or maintenance personnel to rapidly de-energise connected PV strings by pressing the large emergency stop button. The switch removes the FireRaptor control voltage, causing connected FRS-01 rapid shutdown units to reduce hazardous DC voltages at module level for improved system safety.
With its robust IP66 enclosure, integrated power supply and straightforward installation, the FRS-ESW1-24 is ideal for larger residential, commercial and industrial photovoltaic systems requiring a higher-capacity emergency shutdown solution.

Designed for Larger Solar Installations
The FRS-ESW1-24 continuously supplies the FireRaptor control circuit during normal operation. When the emergency stop button is pressed or AC power is lost, the control voltage is removed, causing connected FireRaptor rapid shutdown devices to reduce PV string voltage to safer levels. This improves protection for emergency responders and maintenance personnel working on the installation.
Its higher-capacity Type 24 power supply allows the switch to control significantly larger PV installations than the standard FRS-ESW1, making it suitable for commercial rooftops, schools, warehouses and larger residential systems.
Typical Applications
Large residential photovoltaic systems.
Commercial rooftop solar arrays.
Industrial solar installations.
Schools and public buildings.
Warehouse and logistics facilities.
Solar retrofit projects.
