Overview
- Every gas suppression system has three manual stations in three different colours, and each colour does a job the others do not: red to raise the alarm, yellow to abort or delay the discharge, and green — this item — to start the discharge by hand. The Ravel RE-716P1TLP(G) is the button an operator reaches for on seeing the fire itself, rather than waiting for the automatic detection sequence to complete, and it initiates the discharge of gas or clean agent through the connected control panel. Because operating it leads to a real discharge, it is built around a dual-action lift then pull movement that no passing touch or accidental brush can carry out, and it can be reinforced with a break glass rod that makes operation a deliberate act and leaves a visible trace of any use — or left without one where faster access matters more, with replacement of the rod requiring no special tools so the station is back in service straight away. This is also a device that may sit untouched for years and then be required to work first time, which is the lens to read its construction through: the enclosure is non-toxic die-cast alloy with smooth edges and a low profile that does not obstruct movement in a corridor, behind it sits a black 14 Ga steel plate that takes the strain of wall fixing, and every component is either prepainted or carries a treated surface so that slow corrosion over the years does not become the reason for failure at the decisive moment — a real consideration in Eastern Province humidity and industrial site conditions. The cover is secured by a hex screw or a key lock, so the enclosure opens only to an authorised hand. On the wiring side the station is not a source of voltage but a dry contact: a snap action SPST switch that opens or closes a path, and its rating of 10 amps at 120 VAC is the ceiling of its capacity, not a condition of its use, while the circuit voltage and current come from the control panel to which the station is wired through a two-position terminal block on a standard single-gang box. The compatible Ravel panels are the RE-120GR for gas release and the RE-25AR for agent release. The station is UL Listed — Signaling, it weighs 15.5 oz, and its origin is India. Available from Al-Najma Al-Wataniyah Est. with a quality guarantee and fast supply to projects across the Kingdom in Riyadh, Dammam and all regions.

Documentation & Standards
- This station is UL Listed under the Signaling category for signalling devices in fire systems. The table below translates each line of its specification into practical terms, to support matching it against the panel drawing before purchase:
- Additional reference standards for the Saudi market:
- NFPA 2001 (Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems — and the reference for manual actuation requirements within them)
- NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code — the reference for the design and installation of manual actuation devices)
- UL 38 (the American standard for manually actuated signaling boxes)
- Saudi Civil Defence (the authority for approving gas suppression systems and their accessories in the Kingdom)
| Item | What It Means in Practice |
| UL Listed — Signaling | Underwriters Laboratories listing under the signalling device category, which is what project specifications and approval files require of fire system devices |
| SPST switch | Single pole, single throw — one contact changes state on operation, matched against the manual release input at the panel |
| 10 A at 120 VAC | The maximum contact capacity — the station works as a dry contact whose operating voltage is set by the connected system |
| Snap action switch | A decisive rather than gradual transfer between the two states, so no chattering signal arises on a slow pull — which matters directly on an item that initiates a discharge |
| Lift then pull mechanism | Two deliberate successive movements that prevent a discharge being started by a single accidental touch |
| Break glass rod | An optional physical barrier that makes operation a deliberate act and leaves a visible trace of any use |
Industrial Applications
- B2B sectors — detailed engineering use:
| Sector / Application | Engineering Use Detail |
| Clean agent suppression systems | The item that allows discharge to be started by hand on sight of fire, without waiting for the automatic detection sequence to complete |
| High-value goods warehouses | Locations where the difference of seconds between starting the discharge and waiting for detection is a difference in the size of the loss |
| Server rooms and data centres | Enclosed environments staffed by technicians familiar with the system who are able to take the discharge decision themselves |
| Transformer and main switchboard rooms | Locations with a high heat load where a visible manual means of initiation is preferred |
| Coastal and industrial facilities in the Kingdom | Prepainted components and corrosion-inhibited surfaces suit humid and salt-laden conditions |
| Refurbishment and device replacement projects | Mounting on a standard single-gang box makes replacement in an existing installation straightforward |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between the green, yellow and red stations?
- Three functions in three colours: red is an alarm initiating device, yellow is the station that aborts or delays the discharge, and green — this item — is the station that starts the discharge by hand. A complete system needs the green and the yellow together: one to begin the discharge and one to stop it. The item is always matched against the system drawing and its bill of quantities before purchase.
Q2: What prevents it being operated by mistake?
- Three layers working together. The first is the lift then pull mechanism, two deliberate successive movements that do not happen by a touch or a passing brush. The second is the break glass rod, which adds a physical barrier and leaves a visible trace of any operation. The third is a distinct colour and legend that make the item visually impossible to confuse with the other stations on site.
Q3: Can it be operated without the break-glass rod?
- Yes. The station works with or without a glass rod according to site policy: the rod is used where preventing an accidental discharge is the priority, and omitted where faster access matters more. Replacing it requires no special tools, so the station returns to service as soon as the event is over without waiting for a specialist technician — and keeping spare rods in site stock is recommended.
Q4: Does the 10 A at 120 VAC rating suit our system?
- The rating given is the maximum contact capacity, not a required operating voltage. The station is a dry contact of the SPST type that opens or closes an electrical path, and the circuit voltage and current are set by the connected control panel. What is required at design stage is matching the contact type (SPST) to the manual release input at the panel, and our technical team is glad to review the drawing with you before supply.
Q5: Do you deliver to Riyadh, Dammam and all regions of the Kingdom?
- Yes — supply is available to every region of the Kingdom, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Jubail, Yanbu and all other regions, within 2-3 business days. On contractor orders the B2B team reviews the bill of quantities, confirms that both the release and the abort station are listed for each protected zone, and prepares the project file and the Civil Defense file.
