Description

The Edwards SIGA-270P is a commercial intelligent manual pull station designed for two-stage fire alarm systems using the Edwards Signature Series platform. It provides first-stage alarm initiation through a positive pull-handle action and includes a key-operated General Alarm (GA) switch for second-stage activation in presignal applications.

Constructed with a rugged die-cast zinc housing and finished in durable red epoxy powder coating, the SIGA-270P incorporates electronic addressing, onboard diagnostics, and integrated microprocessor technology for dependable operation and simplified system maintenance. This product is intended exclusively for commercial fire alarm installations.

Product Functions

• Provides manual fire alarm initiation
• Supports two-stage presignal operation
• First-stage activation by pull handle
• Second-stage General Alarm activation by key switch
• Reports alarm conditions to the fire alarm control panel
• Provides electronic device identification
• Continuously supervises device status
• Stores operational history in nonvolatile memory
• Supports automatic device mapping

Electrical & System Information

The SIGA-270P communicates over the Edwards Signature Series data loop and utilizes electronic addressing rather than mechanical address switches. Each device contains an onboard microprocessor that manages communications and stores configuration and operating history within nonvolatile memory.

The station includes diagnostic LEDs that flash green during normal polling and flash red during alarm conditions. It supports automatic device mapping, allowing compatible Signature controllers to identify the device location on the signaling loop.

Mounting & Design

The SIGA-270P features the traditional Edwards teardrop-shaped housing for easy identification and operation. It is designed for flush or surface mounting on compatible electrical boxes and provides field wiring terminals for straightforward installation.

The visible break rod discourages tampering while allowing proper station operation even if the rod is absent or broken. After activation, the station is reset using the appropriate Edwards key.
