Description
The FireLite® SWIFT® addressable pull station is a cutting-edge, dual-action manual pull station featuring a key-lock reset and offering one addressable alarm initiating input. Designed with a seamless aesthetic and robust construction, it matches the appearance and durability of its wired counterparts. This pull station communicates with the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) via the SWIFT mesh network and gateway. It is powered by four batteries, ensuring a UL-listed battery life of up to two years.
Installation is streamlined with a surface-mountable plate; once the plate is securely attached to the wall, the pull station can be effortlessly snapped into place and secured with three screws. Its mechanical operation is user-friendly, featuring a PUSH IN/PULL DOWN handle that locks in the down position to clearly show it has been activated, with the word “ACTIVATED” prominently displayed in bright yellow on top of the handle.
The Pull station complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines’ (ADAAG) regulations and meets the ADA requirement for a 5-pound maximum pull force, as well as compliance with ANSI/UL Standard 38.
The SWIFT wireless system incorporates intelligent addressable devices, ensuring secure, reliable communication with the FACP over a Class A mesh network. This wireless approach is ideal for challenging installations where traditional wiring is costly or impractical, such as in environments with concrete structures or hazardous materials like asbestos. An integrated solution combining both wired and wireless devices enhances installation flexibility on the same FACP.
The SWIFT mesh network establishes a dynamic child-parent relationship, where each device connects to two parent devices, ensuring a secondary communication path. If one device fails, communications continue smoothly either directly or through intermediary devices. The mesh network self-optimizes to maintain the strongest possible connections.
The system also employs frequency hopping to avoid interference. Each SWIFT device adheres to part 15 of the FCC regulations, meaning they will not cause harmful interference and must accept any received interference, even if it results in undesired operation.
