Alarm Pull Stations

Safety Technology International Inc. announces a pull station cover with a spacer that mounts directly to the wall over an existing pull station with an exposed conduit.


When the cover is lifted, a self-contained alarm sounds, which draws immediate attention to the area. The prankster will either run or be caught, helping to prevent a false fire alarm. When service to the pull station is required, the cover’s 9-volt internal alarm may be deactivated. The alarm comes in a piercing 105 dB or a softer 95 dB. The cover does not restrict legitimate fire alarms from being activated.
