Product Information

A chloride UK manual call point is a wall-mounted device that manually activates a building’s fire alarm system, typically by pressing a button that breaks a glass element or uses a non-breakable, pressure-sensitive surface. When operated, it sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, which sounds the evacuation alarm for the building and notifies the fire services. These call points are designed to be easily accessible and are often marked with a red cover, sometimes featuring an LED indicator to show they have been activated.

How it works:

Activation: A person notices a fire and, before a smoke detector triggers, manually presses the button or lever on the call point.

Signal to Control Panel: The action sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel.

Alarm and Notification: The control panel activates the building’s evacuation alarm and sends an alert to the fire service.

Fire Alarm System Integration:

It’s a crucial component of a building’s integrated fire detection and alarm system.

Location:

Reset Key:

Requires a special key to reset the mechanism and turn the device back to its normal, non-alarm state.
