Ramset 800-80-25 Fire Box Pad Lock Type

Emergency Fire Department Access for Automated Gates

The Ramset 800-80-25 Fire Box, Pad Lock Type provides authorized fire department personnel with a dedicated way to open an automated gate during a fire or other emergency. The bright red enclosure is clearly marked FIRE ACCESS and is designed to accept a fire department padlock for controlled emergency use.

When the fire box is opened, the internal limit switch is activated, allowing the connected gate operator to receive the emergency access signal and open the gate. This provides first responders with a direct means of gaining access without relying on a keypad, transmitter, telephone entry system, or other normal access credential.

The 800-80-25 is intended for integration with compatible gate operators and emergency access circuits. Wiring and gate response should be configured according to the operator's fire access input and local fire department requirements.
