Our Products
Our product range contains a wide range of Manual Call Points and Waterproof Manual Call Point
A Break Glass Call Point is a device which enables personnel to raise the alarm by breaking the frangible element on the fascia. They should be mounted 1.4m from the floor and sited where they can be easily seen. Manual Call Points should be sited on the floor landings of stairways and at exits to open air. It should be noted that Call Points should be fitted on the floor side of an access door to a staircase so the floor of origin is indicated at the Control Panel. Extra points should be sited, where necessary, so that the greatest travel distance from any point in the building to the nearest call point does not exceed 30m. A greater number of Call Points may be needed in high risk areas or if the occupants are likely to be slow in movement. Flameproof call points are available, also handle operated points for use in areas where broken glass may cause a hazard.
Points to consider
The Context Plus Waterproof Manual Call Point has an IP67 rating and is intended for outdoor applications or areas where water and dirt are a problem. It incorporates a short circuit isolator which will ensure its operation in the event of a short circuit fault on the loop.
The Call Point is surface mountable and has an easily resettable element rather than a break glass. It also features a unique Plug and Play installation concept designed specifically to reduce installation time. The call point utilises a terminal block, where all installation cabling is terminated.
Its address is set at the commissioning stage by means of a seven-segment DIL switch. A single bi-coloured alarm LED is provided which is controlled independently of the call point by the control panel. The LED is illuminated red when the call point has been activated and amber/yellow to indicate a short circuit.
Once activated, the Call Point can be reset by inserting the test key into the bottom of the unit until the key clicks into position, next remove the test key and push the front cover up until it clicks home.
