Electric: Electric Alarm Unit for Safety Stations, with Light and Horn Application: Alarm units serve two important functions when installed in conjunction with emergency eyewash and shower equipment.
First, alarms serve to alert facility personnel that an accident has occurred and that assistance to the user may be required.
Second, alarms deter unintended or malicious operation of the emergency equipment.
