tamper switch. 1  A switch that is activated when something is interfered with in a harmful or unauthorized manner. 2  Such a switch, for instance, may activate an alarm to indicate that a security mechanism is being meddled with.
Think of it like a light bulb: when the light switch is on, a circuit is formed and the bulb shines brightly. When the switch is turned off - or, in the case of a fire protection tamper switch, the valve closes - the circuit is broken. For tamper switches, this broken circuit creates a signal.
