What Is A Fire Alarm Manual Call Point?

Fire alarm manual call points are designated systems that can be manually utilized to trigger a fire alarm. These devices are also called fire alarm call points or just manual call points (MCP) and are located at strategic locations such as exit routes, fire doors, emergency routes, and others.
Manual call points are effective ways to alert the system that a fire has occurred and needs immediate attention. These devices are secured using either a glass barricade, which must be broken first, or a push button that triggers the alarm.

Why Conduct A Fire Alarm Manual Call Point Inspection?

Maintenance of fire alarm manual call points is extremely important to ensure that they are adequately functional at all times, especially during crises. Regular testing and checking of the system, its components, its accessibility factors, etc., need to be checked in order to stay assured that your system is fully operational without expecting a sudden breakdown.
It’s quite understandable that inspection processes can be thorough and consume a lot of time — which is why we have prepared something for you. Our handy and comprehensive fire alarm manual call point inspection checklist is the tool that you need to ensure flawless inspections and stay compliant without lifting an extra finger!
