Activation of the Simplex single action manual stations requires a firm downward pull to activate the alarm switch. Completing the action breaks an internal plastic break-rod (visible below the pull lever, use is optional). The use of a break-rod can be a deterrent to vandalism without interfering with the minimum pull requirements needed for easy activation. The pull lever latches into the alarm position and remains extended out of the housing to provide a visible indication.

Manual fire alarm stations for general purpose applications:

• Operation complies with ADA requirements.


• Pull lever protrudes when alarmed.


• Break-rod is supplied (use is optional).


• Screw terminals for wiring connections.


• Tamper resistant reset key lock (keyed same as Simplex® fire alarm cabinets).

Multiple mounting options:

• Surface or semi-flush with standard boxes or matching Simplex boxes.

Double Action Stations (Push Type) require that a spring loaded interference plate (marked PUSH) be pushed back to access the pull lever of the single action station.
