Fire Alarm Pull Stations, Single Action and Dual Action

Fire Alarm Pull Stations: Single Action and Dual Action

A fire alarm pull station is the manual initiating device that lets an occupant signal the control panel directly, without waiting for a detector to sense smoke or heat. Codes generally require them at exits and along egress paths in commercial, industrial and institutional buildings.

The main choices when specifying a fire alarm pull station:

• Single action - one motion, pull the handle, to trigger the alarm.
• Dual action - two deliberate motions, such as lift then pull or push then pull, to cut down on accidental and malicious activation.
• Addressable - reports its own point address to the panel over the SLC loop.
• Conventional - closes a contact on an initiating device circuit and is identified by zone rather than by device.
• Weatherproof, key reset and break rod variants for outdoor or high abuse locations.

We stock pull stations from Notifier, Simplex, Fire-Lite, Gamewell-FCI, Edwards, Siemens, Silent Knight, Farenhyt, Mircom, Kidde and Potter, current production alongside discontinued models still in service on older panels. An addressable station has to come from the same family as the panel's SLC protocol.
