Global Conventional Call Points & Accessories FAQs
Learn more about Global Fire Equipment conventional call points, manual call points, resettable call points, coloured call points and fire alarm accessories available from Firesense.
What is a conventional fire alarm call point?
A conventional manual call point allows building occupants to manually raise a fire alarm. When activated, the call point sends a signal to the conventional fire alarm control panel, alerting occupants to a potential fire emergency.
What are Global Fire Equipment conventional call points?
Global Fire Equipment conventional call points are manual fire alarm activation devices designed for use on conventional fire alarm systems. They provide a reliable method of manually initiating a fire alarm when a fire is discovered.
Where should conventional call points be installed?
Conventional call points are typically installed on escape routes, at final exits, stairwells, corridors and key access points throughout a building to allow easy manual activation of the fire alarm system.
How does a manual call point work?
Manual call points operate when the user presses or activates the alarm mechanism. Once activated, the device signals the fire alarm control panel, causing the fire alarm system to enter an alarm condition.
What is the difference between a conventional and addressable call point?
A conventional call point identifies the alarm by zone, while an addressable call point has a unique address that allows the fire alarm panel to identify the exact device that has been activated.
What accessories are available for Global conventional call points?
Accessories may include protective covers, back boxes, replacement elements, reset keys and other installation components designed to support the operation and management of the call point.
What is a resettable manual call point?
A resettable manual call point uses a reset mechanism rather than requiring glass replacement after activation. This can simplify routine testing and reduce the need for replacement glass elements.
Do manual call points require testing?
Yes. Manual call points should be tested as part of the fire alarm system testing routine to confirm that they continue to operate correctly and communicate with the control panel.
What buildings use conventional manual call points?
Conventional manual call points are commonly used in schools, offices, warehouses, retail premises, industrial buildings, care homes, hotels and other buildings protected by conventional fire alarm systems.
Can Global conventional call points be used in commercial fire alarm systems?
Yes. Global Fire Equipment conventional call points are designed for commercial and industrial fire alarm applications where manual alarm activation is required.
Why are manual call points important in fire alarm systems?
Manual call points provide a direct method for occupants to raise the alarm when a fire is discovered, helping initiate evacuation and emergency response procedures without waiting for automatic detection devices to activate.
Can call point covers help prevent false alarms?
Protective covers can help reduce accidental activation and provide additional protection in areas where call points may be susceptible to misuse or accidental operation.
What do different manual call point colours mean?
Manual call points are available in a range of colours, with each colour often indicating a different function within a building's safety systems.
- Red call points are typically used for fire alarm activation and are the most common type found in fire alarm systems.
- Green call points are commonly used for emergency door release applications, allowing emergency exits or access-controlled doors to be released safely.
- Yellow call points may be used for specialist safety functions such as gas shut-off systems or process shutdown systems.
- Blue call points are often associated with non-fire emergency applications and specialist control functions.
- White call points may be used for custom applications where a site requires a clearly identifiable control device that is separate from fire alarm activation.
Why are fire alarm call points red?
Red is widely recognised as the colour associated with fire alarm systems and fire safety equipment. Using red manual call points helps occupants quickly identify how to manually raise a fire alarm during an emergency.
What products work alongside Global conventional call points?
Global conventional call points are commonly installed alongside conventional fire alarm panels, conventional detectors, sounders and other conventional fire alarm devices.
What is the difference between Global conventional call points and addressable call points?
