TESTING
Notify local authorities and operate station as in an actual alarm station. After testing, replace rod (and glass plate on glass double action units), reset the station, and restore the control panel.
APPLICATION
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Bulletin number 72, gives
specilic minimum requirements on this subject. When manual station coverage
appears limited in any way, additional units should be installed. Stations
should be mounted with the bottom of the station not less than 3-112 ft.
(1.07M) or more than 5 feet (1.52M) from the floor. Usually stations are
mounted at the 4-112 ft. (1.4M) level.
Note: In order to make building and facilities accessible to, and usable
by, the physically handicapped, some specifications may require that the
station be installed not more than 3-l/2 ft. (1.07M) from the floor.
Stations should be located in the normal path of exit, and distributed in the
protected area so that they are unobstructed and readily accessible.
NOTE: (ON ALL 2099 STATIONS) Once installed, unlocking and opening the
front of station causes an alarm.
Stations should be provided on each floor to obtain a travel distance of not
more than 200 feet (60.96M) to the nearest station from any point in the
building. One station should be provided for each floor where the maximum
floor area is 10,000 square feet (929 sq. meters) or more. One station should
be provided on the first floor and on each succeeding alternate floor if the
areas to be protected are smaller than the limits as described above.
