5. Istruzioni per l'uso

The Simplex 4099-9006 features a double-action activation mechanism to prevent accidental alarms.

5.1 Activating the Alarm

1. SPINGERE: Firmly push the "PUSH" bar located at the top of the activation handle.
2. PULL DOWN: Once the "PUSH" bar is depressed, pull the handle "PULL DOWN" until it latches in the alarm position.
3. Upon activation, the pull station will send an alarm signal to the fire alarm control panel, and the integrated LED will illuminate steadily (or change to a rapid flash, depending on system programming) to indicate an alarm state.

5.2 Resetting the Pull Station

To reset the pull station after an alarm, a special key (not included with this specific model, as indicated by "No Key" in the product title, implying a different reset mechanism or system-level reset) or tool is typically required to return the handle to its normal, non-alarm position.
