Manual Call Points: Your First Line of Defense in Fire Safety

In the event of a fire, every second counts. A robust fire alarm system is incomplete without reliable Manual Call Points (MCPs). Also known as Fire Alarm Break Glass Units or Manual Fire Alarm Stations, these essential devices are your first line of defense, empowering occupants to manually initiate a fire alarm and alert everyone to potential danger, allowing for prompt evacuation and emergency response.

What are Manual Call Points?

Manual Call Points are crucial components of any fire alarm system, designed to allow individuals to manually trigger an alarm upon discovering a fire. Placed in accessible locations throughout a building, they provide a simple, intuitive, and highly visible method to activate the alarm system, even before automatic detectors (like smoke or heat detectors) might respond.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Immediate Alarm Activation: Designed for rapid, intuitive activation, allowing anyone to trigger the fire alarm system instantly upon discovering a fire, even before automatic detectors respond.
• High Visibility & Clear Instructions: Typically colored bright red with clear, universally understood instructions (e.g., "Press Here," "Break Glass"), ensuring they are easily identifiable and operable in emergency situations.
• Durable & Reliable Construction: Built from robust, flame-retardant materials (e.g., high-grade ABS plastic, polycarbonate) to withstand harsh environments, resist tampering, and ensure long-term operational integrity.
• Multiple Activation Options:
  • Break Glass Models: Traditional design requiring the breaking of a frangible element (glass or plastic) to activate.
  • Resettable Models: Modern push-button design that can be easily reset with a key after activation, reducing replacement costs and simplifying maintenance.
• Versatile Mounting & IP Ratings: Available for both indoor and outdoor installations, with various IP (Ingress Protection) ratings (e.g., IP24 for indoor, IP66/IP67 for outdoor) to suit different environmental conditions, protecting against dust and water ingress.
• System Compatibility:
  • Conventional Models: Suitable for simpler, zone-based fire alarm systems, signaling an alarm for a specific area.
  • Addressable Models: For sophisticated systems, providing precise location identification of the activated call point, enabling faster and more targeted emergency response.
• Easy Installation & Maintenance: Designed for straightforward surface or flush mounting on walls or pillars. Resettable models particularly simplify post-activation maintenance, requiring no tools for reset.
• Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured to meet stringent international and local safety standards (e.g., EN54-11, UL 38, LPCB, VdS), ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and legality in critical situations.
• Integrated Indicators: Often include LED indicators (e.g., green for normal, red for alarm) to provide immediate visual feedback on the device's status.
