Kidde - Edwards K-270-DPO Break Glass Pull Station

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS K-270-DPO is a double action break glass pull station designed for fire alarm systems in commercial and institutional buildings. Double action operation requires two distinct steps to activate, reducing the risk of accidental trips. The break glass element provides a clear visual indicator after activation, confirming the station has been operated. This unit is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians and electricians as part of a manual initiation circuit in a supervised fire alarm system.

The K-270-DPO is suited for commercial, institutional, and light industrial applications where manual fire alarm initiation is required. It mounts at standard pull station height per NFPA 72 guidelines and integrates into conventional or addressable fire alarm control panel circuits. Typical installations include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and warehouses where code-compliant manual pull stations are mandated.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed fire alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize and place the fire alarm control panel in test mode before wiring or replacing any initiating device. Mount the station at the code-required height and verify supervisory circuit continuity after installation. Do not restore the panel to normal operation until all wiring connections have been inspected and the break glass element is properly seated.
