Important Notice

Stopper II is intended to be used in areas where the incidence of false fire alarms from
manual pull stations is high or has proven to be a serious problem. Any disadvantage of this
device is more than balanced when one considers the consequences of false fire alarms,
especially if fire service personnel and equipment are responding to a false fire alarm when
they are needed for a real fire somewhere else. Add to this the disruption to the facility when
false alarms occur. If you have, or may have, a problem with false fire alarms or physical/
weather damage to your fire alarm activation devices, the Stopper II could prove invaluable.
Avis important

Le Stopper II est destin tre utilis dans les zones o loccurrence de fausses alertes dincendie issues davertisseurs
dincendie manuels est leve ou prsente un problme grave. Un quelconque inconvnient de ce dispositif est vite contrecarr
par les consquences des fausses alertes dincendie, surtout lorsque le personnel et lquipement des services dincendie
ragissent une fausse alerte dincendie alors que leur intervention ailleurs sur un vrai incendie savre ncessaire en mme

effet climatique ou physique de vos dispositifs de dclenchement des alertes dincendie, le Stopper II pourra alors se rvler
dune valeur inestimable.

Installation Notes

1. When used outdoors, the manual pull station must also be rated for outdoor use.
2. The relay contacts on Model STI-1100RC, STI-1130RC, STI-1150RC and STI-1155RC,
UL Listing does not permit connection to fire alarm or a life safety function.
3. According to UL Listing, models powered from an external power source cannot be
supplied from the fire alarm panel.
4. When properly installed the operation of this cover will not interfere with the function of
your life safety system.
5. A backplate and gaskets must be used to achieve NEMA 3R integrity.
6. Horn must be tested annually for proper operation. Battery replacement is recommended
annually dependent on use and battery expiration date.
7. If mounting to an uneven surface STI recommends the use of the STI-1280 backplate to
ensure proper sealing. If wire access or screw mounting holes are needed, backplate
may be drilled as necessary.

Remarques sur linstallation

1. Lavertisseur dincendie manuel doit tre homologu pour une utilisation lextrieur en cas de recours une telle utilisation.
2. Lhomologation UL des contacts de relais sur les modles STI-1100RC, STI-1130RC, STI-1150RC et STI-1155RC nautorise
pas leur connexion une fonction dalerte dincendie ou de scurit des personnes.
3. Selon lhomologation UL, les modles aliments par une source lectrique externe ne peuvent pas tre intgrs au panneau
dalerte dincendie.
4. Lorsquil est correctement install, le fonctionnement de ce couvercle ne provoquera aucune interfrence avec le

5. Un palastre et des joints dtanchit doivent tre utiliss pour atteindre lintgrit NEMA 3R.
6. Lalarme sonore doit tre teste annuellement pour confirmer son bon fonctionnement. Il est recommand de remplacer la
pile chaque anne et ce en fonction du taux dutilisation et de la validit de la pile.
7. Dans le cas dun montage sur une surface irrgulire, STI recommande lutilisation du palastre STI-1280 pour garantir une
tanchit adquate contre la surface de montage. Sil est ncessaire daccder aux fils ou aux trous des vis de montage, le
palastre peut tre perc tel que requis.

wall taking into consideration placement of pull station or refer to Fig. 1 for dimensional
hole placement from center of clear opening. NOTE: Be sure cover will not interfere with
operation of the pull station when installed.

spacer, gaskets and optional backplate). For STI-1200, continue to Step 8.
NOTE: When using STI-3100 spacer, be sure to install conduit knockout, any additional
ventilation and gaskets before you tighten to the wall. When using conduit gasket STI-3004,
place gasket around conduit in proper location and install the spacer. For added protection a
bead of silicone may be applied to conduit fitting and between STI-1280 backplate and wall
(Fig. 3A). Refer to exploded view of flush and surface mount installation options Fig. 2 and 3.

Gasket Installation

Use of gaskets is necessary to ensure a proper seal in weatherproof applications. Weather

Stopper models ship complete with all necessary gaskets and should be used accordingly.
For flush mount weather applications, one STI-3002 must be used between the frame or
spacer and wall or backplate (see Fig. 3). An STI-3004 gasket must be used around all
entering conduit. For surface mount applications, it is also recommended that the conduit
insert with holes be installed in the bottom knockout of the conduit spacer. This helps
prevent excessive condensation buildup. STI recommends gasket replacement every five
years. (UL requires listing of pull station to be UL Listed for outdoor installations.)

Battery Replacement Instructions

1. Remove the cover from the frame. It is not necessary to remove the cables from the
frame.
2. Use a 3/32 allen wrench to loosen the button head screw located next to the switch far
enough to slide the switch to the off position.
3. Holding the horn housing and cover in one hand, remove the button head screw located
on the top of the cover with the same allen wrench.
4. Set the clear cover aside and remove the horn housing cover.
5. Replace the battery with a 9 Volt battery only. Be careful to keep the wires away from the
slide switch and the micro-switch.
6. Reassemble the unit making sure that the horn housing fits into the tabs on the horn
housing cover; and that this assembly is mounted evenly into the clear cover.
7. Replace the button head screw through the top of the clear cover and into the top of the
horn.
8. Slide the switch to the on position. The horn should sound.
9. Push the switch in to silence horn while tightening the on position locking screw.
10. Replace the cover onto the frame and test by removing the cover from the frame. The
horn should sound when removed and silence when cover is replaced. If unit does not
operate correctly, contact Safety Technology International, Inc.

Polycarbonate Cleaning Instructions

Rinse with water to remove abrasive dust and dirt. Wash with soap or mild detergent, using
a soft cloth. Rinse once more, then dry with a soft cloth or chamois. Exercise caution when
using water inside enclosure. Make sure unit is completely dry inside before reassembling. To
remove grease or wet paint from exterior of cover, rub gently with a cloth thoroughly wetted
with Naptha. Then wash and rinse. (Do not use razor blades.)
