whoa.. that is a BIG plate!!
You leave it in test, and hit the "FIRE" buttons.
I typically mount a button inside for the driver, and obviously the one outside.
To prevent accidental release from inside the car, put a thin piece of silver tape over the recessed button hole (assuming they sold you a dash mounted push button for the cabin! They typically have a 1/2 inch deep shroud that mounts around the button. Put the foil tape over the shroud (so in an emergency, you have to push through the tape)
Humans have a tendency to push button's, the one time you forget to disarm it, will be when a neighbor kid jumps in the drivers seat, sees a red button.. and pushes it.
At least one per large event gets "set off" No joke.
COTA this year? PCA club race? I get a call from the scrutineers running the show.. "um Brad?, do you know someone here in Austin that sells the electric fire bottles"?
Yes  Call xxx-xxx-xxxx
