DK-7 Water-proof General Emergency Alarm Button

DK-7 Water-proof General Emergency Alarm Button

Product Introduction

The Marine DK-7 Water-proof General Emergency Alarm Button is a vital, heavy-duty manual activation device designed for the most demanding marine environments. Its primary function is to provide a reliable and immediate means to trigger the vessel's General Emergency Alarm (GEA), signaling a grave and immediate danger to all personnel on board, such as fire, collision, flooding, or the order to abandon ship.

Distinguished by its exceptional durability and protection, the DK-7 is engineered with a high-grade, corrosion-resistant housing that meets or exceeds stringent water-proof and dust-proof ingress protection ratings (typically IP67 or higher). This ensures flawless operation even when exposed to direct hose-down, heavy sea spray, or in consistently damp locations like open decks, machinery spaces, or external bridge wings.

The unit features a highly visible, large green push button, usually safeguarded by a robust clear polycarbonate cover or a sturdy hinged guard to prevent inadvertent operation. Activation is immediate and decisive: breaking the cover or lifting the guard and pressing the button sends a direct signal to the central alarm system, sounding the continuous, mandatory GEA signal throughout the vessel. Designed for intuitive use under high stress, the DK-7 provides tactile and often audible (like a breaking glass sound) feedback upon activation.

As a SOLAS-compliant component, the DK-7 is an indispensable element of a ship's emergency response infrastructure. Its rugged, water-proof construction guarantees that the critical ability to raise the full crew alarm remains uncompromised, regardless of weather or location, safeguarding lives and vessel integrity.
