untripped

Never set off

Untripped describes something that has not been triggered or activated.

A circuit breaker remains untripped until an overload occurs.

An alarm stays untripped when no one sets it off.

The word appears mainly in technical contexts: The safety switch was still untripped.

Less commonly, it can mean not having stumbled or fallen.
