The SuperReg also has failsafe operation with the optional remote on/off failsafe-switch. The switch actually turns the failsafe regulator on and off and does not carry the system load current. If the switch or wiring between the switch and failsafe regulator were to fail the regulator stays in the on state until you unplug it from the battery.
Smart-Fly offers two failsafe-switch types for their regulators that have failsafe operation. The first is a standard switch. This is a small slide switch similar to the switch that typically comes with your radio. The second switch is commonly referred to as a "Pin and Flag" switch. The idea behind this switch is that a pin, with a flag, is inserted into the switch turns your system off. To fly you remove the pin and flag from the switch and your system is turned on. The only way for your system to be turned off is to replace the pin. The optional failsafe-switch and charge-lead package comes with the failsafe-switch (slide or pin&flag), two charge leads and two Ernst charge jacks.
