English term

Override function

English to French Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
The "override function" is meant to interrupt the scheduled program.
It can be used to give power to the receptacle in times where it would otherwise be off...

Maybe "fonction de derivation" ? Or "fonction de régulation"?

disagree Daryo : "stopping" is not the main point - it's about taking over - one command having priority over another one

suspension temporaire du programme défini

disagree Daryo : could also be permanent

if you determine a program for yout thermostat for instance, any override is by definition temporary. Otherwise, why even set up a program? Go for manual mode.

fonction de forçage

I often see 'forçage' used in my FR > EN work for 'override' in this sort of sense.
Peer comment(s):

agree Herbie : also the first idea coming to my mind. There's not just an interruption, but a replacement feed too.

changement forcé

in this particular case it's the "override" button on a timer controlling for example a heating system or lights

"The "override function" is meant to interrupt the scheduled program.

this "override" button is used to force the lights or heating to change (switch from OFF to ON, or vice versa) before the programmed time; basically the "override" button has priority over the commands given by the timer.

Same as someone higher in the hierarchy can "override" decisions by underlings.

It's a standard button on most timers.

obviously "changement forcé" is not a one-fit-all translation for "override"
