Reliable Manual Call Point for Emergency & Fire Alarm Systems

Ensure Rapid Response and Uncompromised Safety

In critical moments, every second counts. Our advanced Manual Call Point provides a clear, immediate, and reliable way for occupants to manually trigger an emergency or fire alarm, initiating a rapid response to potential threats. Designed for maximum visibility, durability, and ease of operation, it is an essential component of any comprehensive safety and security system.

How It Works

Upon detecting an emergency situation (such as seeing smoke or fire), an individual can activate the Manual Call Point. Depending on the model, this typically involves:

1. Breaking a frangible element (e.g., glass): A protective glass pane is broken using a small hammer or finger pressure, activating a switch.
2. Pressing a resettable element: A button or lever is pressed or lifted, which then latches in the activated position.

Once activated, the Manual Call Point sends an immediate signal to the connected fire alarm control panel, triggering audible and visual alarms throughout the facility, and often initiating a call to emergency services.

Key Features
