Dual-Action Addressable Manual Pull Station with Die-Cast Metal Housing, DIP Switch Programming, and Class A/B/X SLC Wiring
The Potter PAD100-PSDA is a dual-action addressable fire alarm pull station built with heavy-duty die-cast metal construction for commercial and institutional installations. The dual-action design requires the operator to lift the front cover before pulling the handle, which reduces false activations in high-traffic areas while maintaining immediate access during a real emergency. DIP switch addressing allows field programming without software tools, and the unit integrates directly with Potter IPA Series panels including the AFC-100, AFC-50, and ARC-100 through SLC wiring in Class A, Class B, or Class X configurations.
Once activated, the pull handle locks in place and cannot be reset without opening the front cover using the Potter WS-93 key, which matches the same key used on Potter fire alarm control panels for a single-key maintenance workflow. Opening the front cover alone also triggers an alarm, providing tamper protection against unauthorized access. The PAD100-PSDA is UUKL Listed for Smoke Control Systems and mounts in a standard single-gang box at 1.75 x 3.25 x 4.75 inches and 1.46 pounds.
Where the PAD100-PSDA Fits
- Commercial office buildings and corporate campuses where the dual-action design prevents accidental activations from passersby and cleaning crews, the die-cast metal housing withstands daily contact in high-traffic hallways and stairwells, and addressable communication reports the exact pull station location to the fire alarm panel for faster emergency response
- Schools, hospitals, and institutional facilities where dual-action operation is required by code or preferred by the authority having jurisdiction to reduce nuisance alarms, the WS-93 key reset matches existing Potter panel keys so fire alarm technicians carry a single key for the entire system, and DIP switch programming simplifies addressing during initial installation and future device additions
- Warehouses, manufacturing plants, and loading docks where the die-cast metal construction handles industrial environments without cracking or warping, the tamper-triggered alarm on cover opening deters vandalism, and Class A/B/X SLC wiring flexibility accommodates the wiring topology required by the facility layout and code requirements
What the PAD100-PSDA Delivers
- Dual-Action Activation with Tamper Protection: Requires lifting the front cover before pulling the white T-bar handle to initiate an alarm. Once activated, the handle locks in the pulled position and requires a WS-93 key to reset. Opening the front cover alone triggers an alarm for tamper detection.
- Die-Cast Metal Construction: Heavy-duty die-cast metal housing in red finish resists impact, tampering, and environmental wear in commercial and industrial installations. Dimensions: 1.75 x 3.25 x 4.75 inches. Weight: 1.46 lbs.
- DIP Switch Addressable with IPA Panel Compatibility: Field-programmable DIP switch addressing integrates with Potter IPA Series panels including AFC-100, AFC-50, and ARC-100. Supports SLC wiring in Class A, Class B, and Class X configurations for flexible installation topologies.
- UUKL Listed for Smoke Control: UL and UUKL Listed for Smoke Control Systems applications. Reset key matches Potter fire alarm control panel key (WS-93) for single-key maintenance across the entire fire alarm system.
