Claim 14:
15. A supervised fire suppression system comprising:
a) a discharge valve for controlling the release of a fire extinguishing agent from a container;
b) a control head housing an electronic actuator that is operatively associated with the discharge valve for actuating the discharge valve in the event of a fire, wherein the control head may be removed from the discharge valve to facilitate inspection of the electronic actuator housed within the control head; and
c) a supervisory switching device including a micro switch housed adjacent to the control head and a cooperating internal switch pin mounted within the control head to interact with a surface of the discharge valve to provide an indication that the control head has been removed from the discharge valve, wherein a slidable wedge is positioned within the adjoined housing between the micro switch and the internal switch pin to facilitate indirect cooperation between the micro switch and the switch pin, wherein the slidable wedge is separate from the micro switch and the internal switch pin.
