Potter Electric Pad 100-PSDA Addressable Pull Station

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US PAD 100-PSDA is an addressable, dual-action pull station designed for use in fire alarm systems. Dual-action operation requires two distinct physical steps to activate, reducing the risk of accidental or false alarms. As an addressable device, it communicates its exact location back to the fire alarm control panel, giving responding personnel and monitoring services precise information during an event. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed fire alarm technicians or qualified electricians working within fire protection system projects.

The PAD 100-PSDA is suited for commercial and institutional fire alarm installations where addressable system architecture is specified. Addressable pull stations are commonly used in schools, office buildings, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies where fast, accurate alarm reporting is required. The dual-action design meets code requirements in jurisdictions that mandate tamper-resistant initiating devices at manual call points.
