Apparently the ink is contained within the glass tube that is inserted in front of the pull switch. Once the glass tube breaks, the ink flies. It probably is reasonably priced, considering that we charge for every false alarm (except the first one) that occurs in a calendar month. Alarms two - four are $25.00, five - eight $50.00, eight+ $100.00. If there is an actual fire, we don't charge for the call. I know we dropped in false calls to several dorms that had these installed. I'll see if I can get a price.
