Kidde intelligent manual pull stations are engineered to deliver high-performance features, superb reliability, and unbeatable quality. From control of ancillary equipment, to enhanced signaling functionality, these products add flexibility and powerful options to Kidde intelligent systems. Designed expressly for small buildings, Kidde pull stations are addressable modules that are uniquely identified on the system by means of familiar rotary switches. Once registered, they share data and update status information that determines how the system behaves and how connected devices interact with one another. The FX-278 pull station is a normally open dry contact initiating device that requires two actions by the user to initiate an alarm. First, the upper door marked "LIFT THEN PULL HANDLE" must be raised to access the alarm handle. Second, the alarm handle must be pulled to initiate an alarm.
