AN-6 General Emergency Alarm Button For General Emergency Alarm System

Product Introduction

The Marine AN-6 General Emergency Alarm Button is a critical, manually activated safety device designed to instantly trigger the vessel's General Emergency Alarm (GEA) signal. This universally recognized, loud, continuous signal alerts all personnel on board that an immediate, serious threat exists, such as fire, collision, flooding, or the need to abandon ship, and commands them to proceed to their designated muster and emergency stations.

Engineered for absolute reliability and rapid response during high-stress situations, the AN-6 features a highly visible and robust design. Its most prominent component is a large, red, flush-mount or surface-mounted push button, often protected by a clear, breakable glass cover or a hinged guard to prevent accidental activation. The action is simple and decisive: upon breaking the glass or lifting the guard and pressing the button, it completes a circuit that directly energizes the ship's main alarm sirens and bells throughout all accommodation, working, and machinery spaces.

Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials and meeting stringent marine standards, the AN-6 is built to perform reliably in harsh maritime environments. It is a mandatory fixture as per SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations, strategically installed at key locations such as the bridge wings, engine control room, and other central control points to ensure the alarm can be raised from multiple posts. Its sole, vital function is to provide a fail-safe, immediate means of initiating the highest level of crew alert, forming the cornerstone of a ship's emergency response protocol.
