German term

Revisionsschalter

German to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Electronics
Very little - list of electronic items.

I think it's an override switch, but could be reset (or maybe refresh) switch.

2 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I'll give you the points, even though all the answers are helpful in themselves but I don't think any are completely correct. Safety, however, is a wide enough term so maybe it's the best option."

no solution...

... but just an idea:

I think you know that "Revision" is frequently used in German techspeak to denote equipment parts used for inspections/routine maintenance to be regularly performed on a wide range of technical installations (such as "Revisionsklappe" or "Revisionsöffnung"). So the "Revisionsschalter" might be a switch to EITHER completely turn off/isolate the equipment in order to enable inspection by a specialist OR to turn to a specific inspection mode.

controle switch

Well, Revision means among other things controle. So I think it is a controle-like switch. Maybe override swich as you proposed yourself would be better.

Just to help.

inspection switch

perhaps a safe bet.

E.g.
All system controls are located on the front panel. The system sequence is controlled by a PLC processor. Start, Stop, Continue, and Emergency Stop buttons are located on the front panel. A digital programmable timer controls the aluminum strip time. An INSPECTION SWITCH allows the operator to suspend the cleaning process and lift parts out of the process tank. This enables the operator to view the cleaning progress of the parts through the front door.

agree Endre Both : Particularly as Revisionsschalter can have very different effects from one machine to another.
