Product Identity
The Kidde K-270A-SPO is a non-coded manual fire alarm pull station built for commercial and institutional facilities. It provides a single-action, break-glass trigger for building fire alarm systems and is intended for professional installation by qualified technicians.
Construction and Wiring
The station uses solid die-cast metal construction with a pull-force under 5 lb to meet ADA requirements. The K-270A series ships with 150mm wire leads for direct field connection, while the base series offers screw terminals. Units mount flush in a standard North American square box with a single-gang plaster cover or surface-mount in a cast, steel, or weatherproof enclosure.
Interface Constraints
The device functions as a simple contact closure — normally open, normally closed, or combination NO/NC — with no built-in signalling protocol or addressable communication. It relies entirely on the host fire alarm control panel for supervision, zone identification, and evacuation logic. Installers must verify panel compatibility and wiring class before deployment.
