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.
Protect Pull Stations from Accidental Damage
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.
Reduce False Alarms and Vandalism
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. Many municipalities issue significant penalties for repeated false alarms, making a protective pull station cover a smart investment.
- 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
Weatherproof Outdoor Fire Alarm Installations
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.

- Loading docks
- Schools and industrial facilities
- Transit stations
- Exterior building entrances
Meet Accessibility Requirements
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.
Built to Last
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.
Why Choose SigCom's Sentry Pull Station Cover?
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
