Overview
- The Ravel RE-716P1TLP(Y) is an abort station, and its job is the exact opposite of a manual call point: where the red call point is used to start an alarm, this yellow station is used to stop or delay the discharge of gas or extinguishing agent during the delay period programmed into the control panel — the moment when whoever is inside the room needs to halt the release because the alarm is false or because someone has not yet left. That is why it is yellow rather than red, so the distinction between the two is visual and immediate in an emergency. The station works by a dual-action lift then pull movement, so it cannot be operated by a passing touch or an accidental knock in a busy corridor, and it can be used with or without a break glass rod according to site policy, with replacement of the rod requiring no special tools, so the station returns to service immediately after any operation. The housing is painted non-toxic die-cast alloy in a low-profile design with smooth edges, with a 14 Ga plated steel back plate in black, and all components are prepainted or have plated surfaces to inhibit corrosion — a point that carries weight in the Kingdom's coastal and industrial areas, where humidity and salt accelerate the corrosion of ordinary metal boxes. Electrically the station carries a snap action SPST switch rated 10 amps at 120 VAC, which is the maximum contact capacity, since the station works as a dry contact whose operating voltage is set by the connected control panel, with a two-position terminal block for straightforward wiring and single-gang mounting to suit standard boxes. Access to the inside of the station is by hex screw or key lock, which prevents tampering in public areas. The station is compatible with the Ravel RE-120GR conventional gas release panel and the RE-25AR conventional agent release panel, it is UL Listed — Signaling, it weighs 15.5 oz and it is made in 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 sets out what that means, and what the electrical specification means in practice for the buyer:
- Additional reference standards for the Saudi market:
- NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code — the usual reference for the design and installation of these devices)
- NFPA 2001 (Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems — the systems an abort station serves)
- UL 38 (the American standard for manually actuated signaling boxes)
- Saudi Civil Defence (the authority for approving gas release systems and their accessories in the Kingdom)
| Item | What It Means in Practice |
| UL Listed — Signaling | Underwriters Laboratories listing under the signalling device category, the approval that project specifications and audit files call for on fire system devices |
| SPST switch | Single pole, single throw — one contact changes state on operation, which is what gets matched against the wiring diagram at the control 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 | It transfers between its two states decisively rather than gradually, which reduces arcing and signal chatter on a slow pull |
| Lift then pull mechanism | Two deliberate successive movements that reduce the chance of accidental operation in busy locations |
| Two-position terminal block | Direct two-wire connection with no additional joints inside the box |
Industrial Applications
- B2B sectors — detailed engineering use:
| Sector / Application | Engineering Use Detail |
| Server rooms and data centres | The most common sites for clean agent systems, where the chance to abort a false discharge carries direct operational and financial value |
| Electrical rooms and distribution boards | Enclosed spaces technicians enter for short periods and where a visible abort device is needed near the door |
| Archive and collection rooms | Environments where an unnecessary discharge is not acceptable, so the abort button forms part of the approved operating procedure |
| Generator and engine rooms | Industrial locations exposing the device to humidity and dust, where corrosion-inhibited surfaces serve its service life |
| Large commercial kitchens | Agent release systems over cooking lines, where single-gang mounting on a standard box simplifies the conduit run |
| Coastal and industrial facilities in the Kingdom | Prepainted components and corrosion-inhibited surfaces suit the humidity and salt of the Eastern and Western regions |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does it differ from a manual fire alarm call point?
- The two functions are opposites. The red manual call point is used to start an alarm; this yellow station is used to stop or delay the discharge of gas or extinguishing agent during the delay period programmed into the control panel. Neither is installed in place of the other, and neither is ordered as a substitute for the other — the item is always matched against the system drawing before purchase.
Q2: Why is it yellow rather than red?
- Because colour is the instant means of distinction in an emergency: red is reserved for alarm initiating devices, and yellow sets the abort station apart from them. In a moment when the user is under pressure with only seconds to act, that visual distinction becomes part of operating safety rather than a matter of appearance. This item is supplied in yellow.
Q3: Can it be operated without the break glass rod?
- Yes. The station works with or without a break glass rod according to site policy: the rod is used where accidental operation needs to be prevented and a visible trace of any operation kept, and it is omitted where faster access matters more. Replacing the rod requires no special tools, so the station returns to service immediately after any operation without waiting for a specialist technician.
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 works as a dry contact of the SPST type, meaning it opens or closes an electrical path, and the circuit voltage and current are set by the connected control panel. What matters at design stage is matching the contact type (SPST) to the control panel wiring diagram, 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. For contracting projects and complete gas release systems, the B2B team reviews the bill of quantities, matches the items against the control panels, and prepares the certificates required for the project file.
