DESCRIPTION
The Kidde Models B10 and B11 Manual Pull Stations are
high quality, reliable non-coded alarm initiating devices
based upon a proven design. They are constructed of
heavy die-cast aluminum for long life and reliability.
These manual stations have the exclusive Kidde look:
red gloss paint with raised white lettering, and black sides
with a white trim border.
The B10 station has a standard Single Pole Single Throw
switch, while the B11 has a Double Pole Single Throw
switch for local annunciation or remote signaling.
Switches are gold plated for reliability when used in low
current initiating circuits.
These manual stations are designed for quick, efficient
response by personnel in an emergency, while the stan-
dard double action PUSH/PULL levers prevent acciden-
tal operation. The keylock allows the unit to be easily
reset and tested, and the stations are keyed to match the
Kidde Scorpio™, Gemini™ II, PEGAsys™, and Orion™
control panels.
Optional surface backboxes are available, which are
painted red and sized to match the manual stations. The
SGB-32S is UL Listed for indoor use, and the SGB-32C
cast aluminum weatherproof box is UL Listed for outdoor
use. The weatherproof box is provided with a gasket kit
which allows either the B10 or B11 to be mounted out-
doors.

LABELING
The Kidde Models B10 and B11 Manual Pull Stations
have a unique labeling method which provides the
installer the greatest amount of flexibility. Six labels are
shipped with each station:
FIRE ALARM FIRE SYSTEM RELEASE
FM-200® RELEASE FE-13™ RELEASE
CO
2
RELEASE HALON 1301 RELEASE
These permanent, heavy-duty Lexan
®
self-adhesive
labels are die-cut with raised lettering. During installation,
the installer simply chooses the appropriate label,
removes the protective backing, and places the label into
the space on the top of the station. This flexibility allows
installations to be customized for each customer, without
the expense of having to carry extra inventory.
OPERATION
The dual action B10 and B11 manual stations are oper-
ated by simply pushing the PUSH bar inwards, allowing
the PULL handle to be grasped in a one-handed motion.
The handle is then pulled down as far as it will go. If the
optional breakrod is installed, it would break at this point.
The handle is now locked in place, and is easily visible
from up to 50 feet away. The handle is reset by opening
the station with the key, placing the handle in the normal
upright position, and re-locking the station.
