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..
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 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.

Pl explain the wiring tanks
How the wiring is hooked on to the switch? How this activate the central alarm?

This is the pull station I grew up with because it is in all of my schools
This is the type of fire alarm pull station I see my school. I will not mess with these things
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.
Remember not to pull these things in public unless there is a real fire
Great video
That looks like the pull station from when I accidentally pulled the fire alarm.
What is the point of the glass rod?

nice video.make more elctrical related videos
Awesome video. Have you heard of the kind of pull stations that has ink?
Southern Railfan that’s a myth
@@kel7149 no its actually a thing, that kind of mechanism helps the FD to find who pulled the alarm.
that's not real,but there is ink that some company makes that can go on the handle of a pull.
@@ConrailGeep I've seen fire alarms like that in real life.
@@ConrailGeep It is real.
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
Cool
what if you pushed on it so hard that it actually went back up and turn the switch back to normal🤔🤔🤔😀😀😀😏😏😏
It’s actually physically impossible to do so

You will destroy the pull station.
