SIGA-278
Overview
The SIGA-270 and SIGA-278 series Manual Pull Stations are part
of EDWARDS’s Signature Series system. The SIGA-270 Fire Alarm
Manual Pull Stations feature our very familiar teardrop shape. They
are made from die-cast zinc and finished with red epoxy powder-
coat paint complemented by aluminum colored stripes and mark-
ings. With positive pull-lever operation, one pull on the station
handle breaks the glass rod and turns in a positive alarm, ensuring
protection plus fool-proof operation. Presignal models (SIGA-270P)
are equipped with a general alarm (GA) keyswitch for applications
where two stage operation is required. The up-front highly visible
glass rod discourages tampering, but is not required for proper
operation.
EDWARDS’s double action single stage SIGA-278 station is a
contemporary style manual station made from durable red colored
lexan. To initiate an alarm, first lift the upper door marked “LIFT
THEN PULL HANDLE”, then pull the alarm handle.
Standard Features
Note:
Some features described here may not be supported by all control sys-
tems. Check your control panel’s Installation and Operation Guide for details.
• Traditional familiar appearance
SIGA-270 models feature our familiar teardrop design with
simple positive pull action and sturdy die-cast metal body.
• One stage (GA), two stage (pre-signal), and double action
models
SIGA-270 models are available for one or two stage alarm
systems. The single stage double action SIGA-278 features a
rugged Lexan housing with keyed reset mechanism.
• Break glass operation
An up-front visible glass rod on the SIGA-270 discourages
tampering.
• Intelligent device with integral microprocessor
All decisions are made at the station allowing lower com-
munication speed while substantially improving control panel
response time. Less sensitive to line noise and loop wiring
properties; twisted or shielded wire is not required.
• ADA Compliant
Meets ADA requirements for manual pull stations.
• Electronic Addressing with Non-volatile memory
Permanently stores programmable address, serial number,
type of device, and job number. Automatically updates historic
information including hours of operation, last maintenance
date, number of alarms and troubles, and time and date of last
alarm.
• Automatic device mapping
Each station transmits wiring information to the loop control-
ler regarding its location with respect to other devices on the
circuit.
• Diagnostic LEDs
Status LEDs; flashing GREEN shows normal polling; flashing
RED shows alarm state.
• Designed for high ambient temperature operation
Install in ambient temperatures up to 120 °F (49 °C).
