Fire Pull Station with Transmitter
Model 310
Description:
The model 310 is a self-contained dual action lexan fire pull station with a built in
transmitter. It is a UL38 listed device and meets ADA requirements. Operating instructions
are molded into the handle. The Model 310 is fully supervised for tamper, low battery and
RF signal integrity. The transmitter is powered by a single 3 volt lithium battery as listed
under the specifications section of this manual and the label on the product. The model 310
is intended to be used with CWSI Fire Alarm Control Panels. Refer to the control panel
manual for compatibility details.
Programming:
The 310 must be enrolled into the FACP before installation of the device. The Model 310
will not report Alarms or trouble signals unless it is enrolled into the CWSI FACP.
The model 310 can be enrolled at the control panel or any enrolled repeater. Place the
FACP in enrollment mode then install the battery in the model 310 transmitter observing
polarity marked on the battery holder. The model 310 serial number will be displayed on the
FACP. Refer to the control panel installation instructions for further details on enrollment
and transmitter programming options. After the model 310 is enrolled, remove the battery
and reinstall it only at the transmitters mounting location. Note: Battery life will be
shortened if the battery remains installed and the model 310 is not within
communication range of an enrolled repeater or control panel.
Installation:
Select an accessible location that is not prone to tampering or accidental damage. The
Model 310 must be installed and maintained in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association’s Standards (NFPA), the National Electrical Code and within
the limits defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or per national/local
requirements. For ADA compliance, if the clear floor space only allows forward
approach to an object, the maximum forward reach height allowed is 48-inches
(121.92cm). If the clear floor space allows parallel approach by a person in a
wheelchair, the maximum side reach height allowed is 54-inches (137.16cm).
The mounting surface should be relatively flat and capable of accepting screws or anchors.
The 310 is to be installed in an indoor dry location. Exposure to weather or corrosive
conditions may damage the unit. The Pull Station must be mounted on a vertical surface so
that the wording on the pull station front can be read correctly. Perform the signal test
described in this manual prior to and after permanently mounting the unit. Fasten the
back box to the mounting surface using four #8 screws that are appropriate for the wall type
or anchor. The correct orientation of the back box is with the arrows inside the box pointing
up (figure 2). Install the battery in the battery holder observing the polarity markings then
push the retaining clip around the battery and snap it onto the battery holder (figure 3). If
the Pull Station has already been enrolled a power up reset trouble will be indicated on the
FACP. Carefully push the front assembly on to the back box until it snaps into place. Be
careful not to bend the transmitter’s antenna. Secure the pull station front onto to the back
box as shown in figure 2 using the four #8 screws provided. Do not over tighten the

2
screws. Close and lock the pull station using the key provided. Perform the Signal Test
and Alarm Test as outlined in this manual.
Cautions:
1. Make sure the battery is firmly installed in the battery holder with the battery retaining clip
around the battery.
2. The unit must be secured tightly to the wall, so as to not be dislodged.
3. Test the unit after any service or battery change or as often as local or national codes
dictate.
Alarm Operation:
To activate an alarm from the pull station, push in and pull down on the handle. A yellow
indicator under the word push will appear when the pull station is activated. The pull station
remains in the activated position until reset.
When the pull station handle is pulled:
1. An initial alarm signal is transmitted.
2. A 60 second delay occurs. If during this delay the pull station is reset then the alarm
cycle is ended.
3. The continued alarm condition causes a repeat alarm transmission.
4. Another 60 second delay as in step 2 occurs.
5. Step 3 repeats at 60 second intervals until reset.
To reset the pull station, insert the key into the lock and rotate ¼ turn clockwise. Open the
door until the handle returns to normal then close and lock the door. Closing the door
automatically resets the switch to the normal position. Opening the door with the key will
not activate the alarm switch.
LED: The LED is visible through the front of the pull station and will flash twice when an
alarm signal is transmitted.
Alarm Test:
Before testing, notify the proper authorities that maintenance is being performed and the
system will be temporarily out of service. Activate an alarm as described it the Alarm
Operation section of this manual. Verify an alarm is received at the control panel. The pull
station remains in the activated position until reset. The led will flash twice when an alarm is
transmitted. Reset the pull station after alarm reception has been verified at the control
panel.
Signal Test:
The test must be performed while the pull station is held in its intended mounting location.
Initiate the test by placing a strong magnet along the middle left side of the pull station as
shown in figure 1. The model 310 piezo sounder will beep once. A delay of up to 15
seconds will occur followed by either one or two beeps. One beep indicates an
unacceptable location and two beeps indicate an acceptable location. If only one beep is
heard then relocate the model 310 mounting position closer to the nearest repeater or
control panel and perform the test again. Continue this procedure until 2 beeps are
achieved. Do not mount the transmitter unless 2 beeps are heard when performing 5
consecutive signal tests. This test must be performed before and after transmitter
installation. Note: A CWSI model AR-3(A), AR-5 repeater or Control Panel must be
powered up, installed and enrolled before running this test. Refer to the signal survey
section of the control panel manual for more information.
Low battery:
The battery voltage is tested under load every 90 seconds. When a low battery voltage is
detected, a low battery trouble will be transmitted and repeated every 90 seconds. Where
more than one type of trouble exists, all will be repeated every 90 seconds. The led will
flash once when a low battery trouble is transmitted.

Battery Replacement:
Warning: Always install a new battery of one of the approved types as listed in the
Specifications section of this manual and the product label. When a battery is first
inserted, a low battery test is performed. If the battery passes the test, the unit should not
send a low battery signal. If the battery does not pass this test, the unit will continue to send
a low battery until a good battery is installed. The transmitter will not power up if the battery
is lower than 2.3 volts.
To replace the battery:
1. Place the CWSI FACP in Test mode to prevent any unwanted alarms.
2. Open the Pull Station door using the key provided. This will not cause an alarm.
Separate the Pull Station front from the back by removing the 4 screws in figure 2. A
tamper trouble will be indicated on the control panel when the Pull Station front and back
are separated. Remove the battery retaining clip then remove the battery and dispose of
properly.
3. To insure proper power down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing
a new battery.
4. Install the new battery in the battery holder then push the retaining clip around the
battery and snap it onto the battery holder (figure 3). Observe the polarity diagram inside
the battery holder. A power up reset trouble signal should be indicated on the FACP upon
installation of the new battery.
5. Carefully push the front assembly on to the back box until it snaps into place (figure 2).
Be careful not to bend the transmitter’s antenna. Secure the pull station front onto to the
back box using the four #8 screws provided. Do not over tighten the screws. Close and
lock the pull station using the key provided.
6. Test the Pull Station for alarm operation as described in the alarm testing section.
7. If the Pull Station does not function for alarm operation as described in item 6 then start
over at step 2. If it still doesn’t operate correctly then replace the entire unit.
8. Remove the panel from test mode.
Tamper:
The Model 310 has an on board tilt sensor that will cause a tamper signal to be transmitted
if the 310 case is opened or the unit removed from its mounting position. Upon detection of
a tamper, a tamper signal is sent immediately and repeated every 90 seconds until the
condition is restored. Where more than one type of trouble exists, all will be repeated within
90 seconds. The led will flash once when a tamper is transmitted. Note: This trouble is self-
restoring on CP-3500D and newer FACP’s.
Power Up Reset Trouble
The model 310 will report this trouble when the battery is installed. This is normal. If a
power up reset occurs anytime after the initial indication then the transmitter is
malfunctioning. Replace the unit. The led will NOT flash when a power up reset is
transmitted.
