Potter Electric 1004630-5 Blue Door Release Pull Station

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US 1004630-5 is a blue door release pull station designed for use in fire alarm and life safety systems. This device serves as a manual initiating device, allowing building occupants or emergency personnel to trigger a door release or alarm sequence when activated. The blue color coding is standard for door release applications, distinguishing this device from red fire alarm pull stations. Licensed fire alarm technicians and life safety system installers are the primary trades that specify and install this unit.

The 1004630-5 is suited for commercial and institutional settings where door hold-open or door release functions are integrated into a fire alarm control panel. Typical installations include corridor doors, stairwell access points, and other egress-critical locations where doors must release upon alarm activation or manual pull. This unit is sold individually as a single unit per package.
