Testing

 N/A It has been tested and approved or listed by:
  • UL, cUL Listed No. S2466
  • For fire alarm applications, UL38 requires outdoor listed stations for outdoor use
  • Factory Mutual No. OG6A2.AY (STI-1100 and STI-1130 only)
  • State of California (Obtain local fire marshal approval)
  • MEA 49-00-E (STI-1200)
  • Flush models ADA Compliant. Surface models ADA Compliant for operation (UL Certified No. S2466)
  • Weather Stopper® versions designed to meet the requirements of IP54.
  • The indoor/outdoor rated station covers, when mounted on a smooth surface, provide a rain tight seal similar to a 3R enclosure rating.

How It Works

How It Works

 N/A Stopper II® consists of a clear, tamperproof, tough polycarbonate shield and frame, but the line includes models with the option of a piezo horn, spacer, Form “C” dry relay contact and gaskets. The cover accommodates most manual pull stations. When the Stopper II® with horn is lifted to gain access to the protected alarm, a piercing self-contained 95 or 105 dB warning horn (at one foot) sounds. Immediate attention is drawn to the area and a prankster will either run or be caught. The cover is connected to the frame by a cable. When the cover is lifted, it drops off of the frame and a horn will sound (models with horn) until the cover is snapped back onto the frame or for the life of the battery.

Important Notice

Important Notice

 N/A Stopper II® "FIRE" models are intended to be used in areas where the incidence of false fire alarms from manual pull stations is high or has proven to be a serious problem. Any disadvantage of this device is more than balanced when one considers the consequences of false fire alarms, especially if fire service personnel and equipment are responding to a false fire alarm when they are needed for a real fire somewhere else. Add to this the disruption to the facility when false alarms occur. If you have, or may have, a problem with false fire alarms or physical/weather damage to your fire alarm activation devices, the Stopper II® could prove invaluable.

Warning

Warning

 N/A For RC models: UL Listing does not permit relay contacts to connect to the fire alarm or a life safety function. The power supply for horns, according to UL Listing, cannot be connected to a UL Listed fire alarm system. For electrical specifications see install book. RC models contain one set of Form "C" dry contacts. Contacts rated 30 V AC/V DC 1 amp.
  • 1 Three year guarantee against breakage of polycarbonate in normal use (one year on electromechanical and electronic components).
