6 Manual call point (MCP)
6.1 Manual call point - large design (plastic)
The manual call point in the red housing with the 'burning house' symbol is used as a manual fire call point for the
manual activation of a fire alarm/an emergency alarm in dry workplaces that are not in danger of explosion. The
detector is available for other uses and areas and also comes in various designs, e.g. different housing colours
and with different printed inserts.
The different coloured housings can be combined with the associated electronics modules. For every colour of
housing and type of electronics module, such as those with clickable or non-clickable dosing head, there is a clear
standardised allocation.
