Fire alarm pull stations are critical life safety devices, but they are also vulnerable to accidental damage, environmental exposure, and intentional misuse. Installing a pull station cover helps protect your investment while reducing unnecessary service calls and false alarms.

Manual pull stations are commonly installed in schools, hospitals, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and public spaces where foot traffic is high. A pull station cover protects the device from carts, equipment, moving furniture, and accidental impacts that could damage the station or trigger an alarm.

By preventing physical damage, building owners can reduce maintenance costs and extend the life of their fire alarm equipment.

False alarms are costly and disruptive. SigCom’s optional alarm module sounds a powerful 104 dB warning the moment the cover is opened. The loud audible alarm discourages tampering before someone can activate the pull station.

Benefits include:

• Discourages vandalism and prank alarms
• Helps prevent unnecessary emergency response
• Reduces costly false alarm fines
• Protects schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and commercial facilities
• Improves overall fire alarm system reliability

Many municipalities issue significant penalties for repeated false alarms, making a protective pull station cover a smart investment.

Outdoor pull stations require protection from rain, snow, dust, and harsh environmental conditions. When used with the Weatherproof Kit (ST-WPK01) and Back Plate Kit (ST-BKP01), SigCom’s Sentry Cover provides a NEMA 3R-rated enclosure designed for outdoor applications.

The optional Extender Kit (ST-XTR01) also accommodates deeper pull stations and allows convenient conduit access from the top and bottom.

Ideal outdoor applications include:

• Parking garages
• Loading docks
• Schools
• Industrial facilities
• Transit stations
• Exterior building entrances

The SigCom Sentry Cover is designed with accessibility in mind. It complies with ADA requirements and includes Braille text, making fire alarm pull stations easier to identify and use for all building occupants.

Manufactured from high-strength UV-stabilized materials, the SigCom Sentry Cover is designed for years of dependable performance indoors or outdoors. Unlike lower-quality alternatives, it resists cracking, discoloration, and damage caused by sunlight and environmental exposure.

The result is a durable, long-lasting protective solution that minimizes replacement costs over time.

Not all pull station covers are designed the same.

Unlike competing products that require the cover to be lifted upward, the SigCom Sentry Cover opens downward and completely out of the way. This unique design provides faster, easier access during an emergency while improving visibility of the manual pull station.

• Opens downward for quick emergency access
• Does not obstruct the pull station during activation
• Easier one-handed operation
• Faster installation and maintenance
• Preferred by installers and maintenance personnel
• Cleaner appearance after installation

Many competing covers remain hanging above the station, making activation more awkward and sometimes requiring two hands. SigCom’s design eliminates this issue for improved usability.

The SigCom Sentry features a modular design that allows customers to purchase only the components needed for their installation. This flexible approach reduces installation costs while providing solutions for virtually any environment.

For pull stations that extend 1¾ inches or less from a smooth wall, the ST-FRC-01 Front Cover Kit provides everything needed for installation.

The kit includes:

• Mounting base
• Hinged protective cover
• Complete hardware

This is the ideal solution for most standard indoor installations.

If the pull station extends up to 3¾ inches from the wall, simply add the ST-XTR01 Extender Kit.

Benefits include:

• Accommodates deeper pull stations
• Supports surface-mounted back boxes
• Allows conduit access from top and bottom
• Easy installation

For brick, concrete block, textured walls, or uneven mounting surfaces, the ST-BKP01 Back Plate Kit creates a secure mounting surface while improving the overall seal of the enclosure.

For exterior installations, combine:

• ST-FRC01 Front Cover Kit
• ST-BKP01 Back Plate Kit
• ST-WPK01 Weatherproof Kit

This combination provides a NEMA 3R weather-resistant enclosure designed to protect manual pull stations from rain, snow, dust, and other environmental conditions.

The ST-ALM01 Alarm Module can be added to any Sentry Cover configuration.

Features include:

• 104 dB audible alarm
• Battery powered (9V)
• No external wiring required
