Inside a building requiring manual pull stations, they should be located adjacent to each fire exit.

What is the proper height to mount a fire pull station?
The correct answer will depend on your local codes and ordinances, which may reference national fire or life-safety standards, which reference national fire alarm standards. NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signalling Code, requires the operating switch of manual pull stations to be located between 42 and 48 inches from the floor. NFPA 72: 17.14.4 (2010). Where I live, we are subject to ADA (Americans with Disabilites Act), and it requires manual pull stations (and other things containing an operable control, like light switches) to be mounted at 48 inches. The operating handle height must not exceed 48", so the electrical box is usually mounted 48" to the center of the box. Your municipality may have other specific rules, so check with your AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) to be sure.

Does a fire alarm pull still activate even when you open the cover protecting it?
There are many pull stations that require TWO actions such as "break glass and pull lever" or "lift cover and pull handle" or "pull handle to open and depress hook". The activation doesn't take place until the second action is completed, although a "trouble" or "tamper" signal can certainly be activated by the simple opening of the cover, as would occur with electronically monitored fire extinguishers. The purpose of the cover is to cut down on accidental/nuisance alarms. Lifting the cover is just an extra step before pulling the pull station.

Automatic = pull and hold the trigger to fire multiple shots. Some guns are limited to a 3-round burst per trigger pull and some will empty the magazine. Semi-automatic = pull the trigger and fire one shot. The spent shell will be ejected and the next cartridge will be loaded into the chamber, but the trigger must be released and pulled again to fire each subsequent shot.
