Deadman Systems start and stop fuel flow in bottom-loading or underwing fueling operations and are required by N.F.P.A. codes. Electric deadmen systems offer reliability, flexibility and minimal maintenance compared to pneumatic or hydraulic systems. When the handle switch is closed, a signal is furnished that can open a valve or start a pump. When the handle switch is released, fuel flow stops.
