• Traditional familiar appearance GSA-M270 models feature our familiar teardrop design with simple positive pull action and sturdy die-cast metal body.
• The single stage double action GSA-M278 features a rugged Lexan housing with keyed reset mechanism.
• Break glass operation An up-front visible glass rod on the GSA-M270 discourages tampering.
• Intelligent device with integral microprocessor All decisions are made at the station allowing lower communication 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 controller regarding its location with respect to other devices on the circuit.
• Stand-alone operation The station inputs an alarm even if the loop controller’s polling interrogation stops.
• 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).
Application
The operating characteristics of the fire alarm stations are determined by their sub-type code or “Personality Code”. NORMALLYOPEN ALARM - LATCHING (Pesonality Code 1) is assigned by the factory; no user configuration is required. The device is configured for Class B IDC operation. An ALARM signal is sent to the loop controller when the station’s pull lever is operated. The alarm condition is latched at the station.

Installation
Single-stage Signature Series fire alarm manual pull stations mount to North American 2½ inch (64 mm) deep 1-gang boxes.
Two stage presignal (270P) models require 1½ inch (38 mm) deep 4-inch square boxes with 1-gang, ½-inch raised covers. Openings must be angular. Rounded openings are not acceptable. Recommended box: Steel City Model 52-C-13; in Canada, use Iberville Model CI52-C-49-1/2.
All models include terminals are suited for #12 to #18 AWG (2.5 mm2 to 0.75 mm2 ) wire size. Kidde recommends that these fire alarm stations be installed according to latest recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Electronic Addressing: The loop controller electronically addresses each manual station, saving valuable time during system commissioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required. Each station has its own unique serial number stored in its on-board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the loop and assigns a “soft” address to each serial number. If desired, the stations can be addressed using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool.
