Key-Operated Fire Alarm Station Normally Open

SKU KD-RMS-1T-KO

  • Fast shipping from four branches
  • 30-day returns on unopened products

The RMS-1T-KO replaces a standard pull station with a key-operated switch in areas where an ordinary station would get pulled for reasons that have nothing to do with a fire — penal institutions, special needs housing, and similar occupancies.

Built for the commercial fire installer

It's a single-stage, tamperproof design with one single-pole normally-open contact rated for 10 amps at 125 Vdc, and the key is not easily duplicated, which keeps activation limited to authorized staff. It flush mounts to any standard North American 1-gang electrical box (2-1/2 in. deep minimum), and the key can be removed in both the ON and OFF positions for straightforward staff handoffs.
