That pull station might be from my school since they replaced the fire alarm system over the summer and the old system was a simplex 2001 with that type off pull station

Wow, the alarm is triggered so fast after you pulled it. Sometimes, panels might take 1-2 seconds to process... stuff, I think. I always see delays.

CarterPlays Official it’s because some panels have verification to make sure the alarm is really activated

I think you gotta hit the metal with your fist (not your knuckles directly obviously) on the side, and then you pull the metal part up and pull down

@@FireAlarmsandSuch Yeah, even the newer glass panes that just say "BREAK GLASS" often found with the newer 2099/4099 break-glass pulls will work just fine in 4251-30s. I've seen quite a few instances of that in real life; I think at least one of the 4251-30s at my first elementary school is currently set up that way.

That was the glass style from the early to mid-70s you broke. But to be fair, I've seen quite a few 4251-30 pulls "in the field" with the more modern glass pane that just reads "BREAK GLASS" on it.

and the early 80s too. At wem they have these as 4251-50 (two-stage) and it was built in 1981.

@@albertafirealarms2338 I know in the late 70s they changed the type face a bit, looking a tad more "modern." Then around the mid-80s they went with the current Arial/Helvetica typeface that's still used today (although now they just read "BREAK GLASS.")

@@albertafirealarms2338 Yeah, I saw one at the Boston Park Plaza hotel in Cambridge MA. It had the break-glass frame and hammer removed, but I could still tell by the holes and peg above the lever, and I could see the key switch behind the lever as well. (The hotel has a huge Simplex 4100ES multi-level voice-evac system; the rest of the pulls are mostly addressable single-action 2099-9795s and dual-action 4099-9006s.)

Well the glass might have been tampered glass not regular glass, regular glass breaks easily when tampered can take many hits with something flat but something very pointy can shatter it into millions of peace’s instantly

I agree. Even the newer glass panes designed for the newer Simplex break-glass pulls (the ones that just say "BREAK GLASS") work just fine in the older 4251-30 -style pulls. In fact, lately in nearly every system I've seen with 4251-30s there's always at least one with a newer glass pane like that.
