E-278 Double Action Pull Station
Installation Sheet
Operation
This E-278 Double Action Pull Station combines a dual action
pull station with a single input analog addressable mini module
mounted on the back of the unit. The pull station requires two
actions to initiate an alarm. First, to access the alarm handle,
raise the upper door marked LIFT THEN PULL HANDLE.
Second, pull the alarm handle to initiate an alarm.
The device address is set using the two rotary switches located
on the back of the mini module. One device address is
required.
The mini module is configured for alarm latching operation.
When the handle is pulled, an alarm signal is sent to the
control panel and the alarm condition is latched at the pull
station. The pull station must be manually reset prior to
resetting the panel.
LEDs
The E-278 provides two status LEDs. The LEDS are visible
from the back of the E-278.
