Global Addressable Call Points & Accessories FAQs
Learn more about Global Fire Equipment addressable call points, red addressable manual call points, resettable call points and call point accessories available from Firesense.
What is an addressable manual call point?
An addressable manual call point allows a building occupant to manually activate a fire alarm system. Each call point has its own unique address, enabling the fire alarm panel to identify the exact device that has been activated.
What are Global Fire Equipment addressable call points?
Global Fire Equipment addressable call points are intelligent fire alarm activation devices designed for use on compatible addressable fire alarm systems. They provide precise device identification when activated.
How does an addressable call point work?
When activated, the addressable call point sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel. The panel can identify the precise call point location, helping users quickly identify where the alarm originated.
What is the difference between an addressable and conventional call point?
An addressable call point communicates individually with the fire alarm panel and can be identified by its device address. A conventional call point reports an activation by zone rather than by individual device.
Why choose addressable manual call points?
Addressable manual call points provide accurate location information, improved fault management and greater visibility across the fire alarm system when compared with conventional zone-based systems.
Where should addressable call points be installed?
Addressable call points are typically installed on escape routes, by final exits, at stairwells and throughout key circulation routes to allow occupants to manually raise the alarm during a fire emergency.
What accessories are available for Global addressable call points?
Accessories may include protective covers, mounting accessories, replacement elements, reset keys and associated components designed to support installation and operation requirements.
What is a resettable addressable call point?
A resettable addressable call point can be reset using a dedicated key or tool following activation, removing the need to replace glass elements after routine testing or accidental operation.
Can addressable call points reduce investigation times?
Yes. Because each device has a unique address, building managers and emergency responders can quickly identify the exact call point that has been activated.
Why are fire alarm call points red?
Red is widely recognised as the colour associated with fire alarm systems and fire safety equipment. Red manual call points help occupants quickly identify how to manually raise a fire alarm during an emergency.
What buildings commonly use addressable manual call points?
Addressable manual call points are commonly used in offices, hospitals, universities, hotels, care homes, warehouses, industrial buildings and larger commercial facilities where intelligent fire alarm systems are required.
Do addressable call points require regular testing?
Yes. Addressable call points should be included within the fire alarm testing programme to ensure they continue operating correctly and reporting accurately to the control panel.
Can protective covers help prevent accidental activation?
Yes. Protective covers can help reduce accidental operation while still allowing access to the call point during a genuine emergency.
Are Global addressable call points suitable for commercial buildings?
Yes. Global addressable call points are suitable for commercial fire alarm systems where manual alarm activation, device-level identification and reliable system communication are required.
Can addressable manual call points help improve fire alarm response?
Yes. Addressable manual call points help improve response by allowing the fire alarm control panel to identify the exact call point that has been operated, helping users locate the alarm source quickly.
Are addressable call points suitable for large buildings?
Yes. Addressable call points are well suited to larger buildings and complex sites because each device can be individually identified by the fire alarm control panel, supporting more accurate alarm location reporting.
What should I consider when choosing an addressable call point?
When choosing an addressable call point, consider system compatibility, installation location, resettable or break-glass operation, accessory requirements and whether protective covers are needed for the environment.
Can addressable call point accessories support system usability?
Yes. Accessories such as protective covers, reset keys and mounting accessories can help support call point operation, reduce accidental activation and simplify testing or reset procedures.
What products work alongside Global addressable call points?
Global addressable call points are commonly installed alongside addressable fire alarm control panels, addressable detectors, interfaces and alarm notification devices.
What is the difference between Global addressable call points and conventional call points?
Conventional call points operate within a fire alarm zone and identify alarms by circuit location. Addressable call points communicate individually with the fire alarm panel and can be identified by their unique device address.
