The Reverse Engineer opens up a fire alarm pull station to demonstrate how it works. It's actually pretty simple...

I am a fire alarm collector and I thought this video was pretty cool. If you could do more fire alarm related videos, that would be awesome!

Nice video! I have 10 of these 270-SPOs, along with about 50 other devices.

There are two types of basic mechanisms. The first is a toggle switch as demonstrated in the video, and the second is a normally closed button that is pushed in when the station is normal, and pops out when activated.

Thanks for doing this, I had to reset mine at work just now and blanked on how to replace the rod (most of our stations are new but that one is still old)

Yk if you think about it, all kids need is a screwdriver to pull the fire alarm without getting uv on them, however, not recommending this, most places have cameras and will know exactly where you are even if you walk out of frame from the time you were their to the next moment a different or same camera picks you up, its not worth the risk..

That looks like the pull station from when I accidentally pulled the fire alarm.

Interesting, is that your own Edwards 270-SPO? I have those at my school, as-well with EST (Edwards) Genesis Horn-Strobes

Yes, it is. I actually found it in an e-waste bin, so I'm assuming it was defective and had to be replaced.

What is the point of the glass rod?
@ephraimnowak5 жыл бұрын
It's designed to be an indicator that a certain unit was triggered. The glass rod breaks when the lever is pulled and must be replaced to reset the pull station.

I used to think the glass rod actually held the lever up.
@seanjuth5 жыл бұрын
The pull station doesn't require the glass rod to hold the lever up, the glass rod makes the pull station a little more difficult to activate
@alexandersalarms53805 жыл бұрын
Also to make it a bit easier to notice it activated, sometimes you can push it up a lot and it’s almost un-noticeable.

If I pull these things in school then I will get in so much trouble so never pull these things unless your school or any building is on fire

what if you pushed on it so hard that it actually went back up and turn the switch back to normal🤔🤔🤔😀😀😀😏😏😏
