Designed for small buildings, the Kidde FX-278 is a double-action intelligent pull station with a Lexan housing and rotary address dials. It works as an addressable module on Kidde FX-64 and FX-1000 intelligent fire alarm systems. A factory-installed mini module supervises the station and reports an alarm to the panel when the handle is pulled.
