German term or phrase: Vor-Ort-Schalter
Für ein gesamtes Zementwerk wurde ein elektrisches Sicherungssystem beschafft, um die Schalter persönlich gegen Wiedereinschalten zu sichern. Alle elektrischen Antriebe wurden dabei mit Vor-Ort-Schaltern (ICVs) ausgestattet (Abb. 2); diese wurden in das Leitsystem eingebunden.

How is Vor-Ort-Schalter best translated?

Thank you,

local valve


Explanation:
not too sure about "switch"

ICV valves are inlet control valves or in automotive injection control valves. I do understand them here to be positioned locally.

On a side note, I was about to agree with Stephen on "local switch" when I read the ICV in parenthesis. I looked up ICV switch without many responses and eventually ICV valve, which had a lot of hits...which is why I was then unsure about switch in conjunction with the ICV....don't want to confuse anyone, just wanted to point that out.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for this suggestion. However, the system in question is electrical. There is a box, and it is somehow provided to secure electrical systems against accidentally switching on again. And it is located close to the system that is operated, so I believe "local switch" is correct. Interesting variant in ICV though; will bear it in mind.
