Double Action Push Type Manual Release Stations require that a spring loaded interference plate (marked PUSH) be pushed back to access the pull lever of the single action station, reducing the possibility of an accidental activation. A firm downward pull of the lever then activates the alarm switch, breaking an internal plastic break-rod, visible below the pull lever.

Break-rod use is optional. Use of a break-rod can provide an additional reduction of the possibility of an accidental activation without interfering with the minimum pull requirements needed for easy activation.

When activated, the pull lever latches into the alarm position and remains extended out of the housing to provide a visible indication.
