Usually, "local" refers to an alarm system that isn't connected to a monitoring station, so if the alarm system gets activated, the fire department will not automatically be dispatched, so one would have to call 911 to report the alarm. Old equipment usually said "local" regardless, so the term is kind of useless unless used in more modern installations.
Heck no, only like ancient systems from the 70s and earlier. These pull stations are used in early "addressable" systems. The pull codes out a code, the signals sound the code, and the responders match up the code to a location and then go to investigate whether or not there's a problem.
The coding wheel is run by the pull of the handle. But the thing is, it will only do 4 rounds, and then automatically stop, so it won't keep the alarms ringing unless it's pulled again.
how do you get the bell to ring continuously. Would one pull thus alarm more than once? I saw this exact same pull connected to a bell. Is there a version of this exact same pull station where the handle stays down? How would you reset it to stop the bell. Would you push the handle back up?
Answering 1 question at a time, yes, on this pull, you'd have to keep pulling it, as one full pull only sounds 4 rounds. As for there being a version that locks down, IDK. And as for, stopping the bell, do you mean w/ this pull or the "lockable" one?
Yes, but I found out earlier this evening, this is the wrong kind of pull I need (it works differently from normal coded pulls), so I need special equipment in order to get it to work the way I want to. I do intend to get whatever I need (and I've been told that's relays), but IDK when I'll be able to get it...
whats the difference between a local fire alarm and a fire alarm

Does coded pullstations require electricity to run the coding wheel? or does it just go around with one pull?
