Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many manual call points does a building need?
A: Under RA 9514-aligned practice, call points are placed at each exit level, at every exit, and along escape routes at the spacing defined by the approved fire safety design.
Q: Break-glass or resettable, which is better?
A: Resettable call points reduce cost per activation in managed buildings; break-glass units suit public areas where a visible break is preferred. Both are EN54-11 certified.
Q: Do you offer protective covers?
A: Yes. Hinged protective covers stop accidental operation in corridors and public spaces while still allowing quick alarm activation.
Q: Can the call point report its address?
A: Addressable versions report device identity, activation and fault to the panel, which speeds up response for BFP and building teams.
Q: Is a weatherproof version available?
A: Yes. IP54 versions serve car parks, loading docks and outdoor zones, with an explosion-proof option for hazardous industrial areas.
