Addressable Manual Call Points
Addressable manual call points are an essential component of any modern fire alarm system, providing a reliable and user-friendly way for occupants to raise an alarm in the event of a fire.
With precise location reporting, fault monitoring, and a range of advanced features, addressable MCPs enhance the effectiveness of fire safety systems, particularly in large or complex buildings. Explore the full range of addressable manual call points available at Firesense, and let our team of experts help you design a fire safety system that meets the highest standards of performance, compliance, and protection. With Firesense, you can be confident that your addressable fire alarm system is equipped with high-quality, reliable call points that provide peace of mind and robust safety in any emergency.
Addressable manual call points (MCPs) are critical components of addressable fire alarm systems, providing a reliable and accessible means for occupants to manually raise an alarm in the event of a fire or emergency. These devices allow individuals to take immediate action by simply activating a call point, which then communicates directly with the control panel, relaying the exact location of the activation. This precise information enables faster response times, as emergency responders and building managers can immediately identify the specific area where assistance is needed.
At Firesense, we offer a comprehensive range of addressable manual call points designed to meet the unique requirements of various environments, from offices and schools to shopping centres and large industrial sites. Our addressable MCPs are compatible with modern addressable fire alarm systems, providing accurate, location-specific alerts and supporting enhanced fire safety measures in complex or multi-story buildings. Designed to meet stringent UK and international standards, our call points ensure reliable performance and compliance, making them an essential part of any comprehensive fire protection system.
Addressable manual call points operate by allowing users to manually trigger the fire alarm system in a specific location. Unlike conventional MCPs that simply activate an alarm in a general area, addressable call points have unique identifiers, which are recognised by the fire alarm control panel. This addressable feature enables the control panel to pinpoint the exact call point that has been activated, providing emergency responders with precise information on where the potential fire or hazard has been reported.
This exact location data is invaluable in larger buildings, helping emergency personnel locate the incident faster, and making it easier to manage evacuation and safety protocols. Additionally, Addressable manual call points can report faults directly to the control panel, which supports proactive maintenance and ensures the devices remain operational and ready for use at all times.
At Firesense, we offer various types of addressable manual call points to suit different needs and environments. Our range includes break glass call points, which require the user to break a glass element to activate the alarm, and re-settable call points, which allow users to activate the alarm without breaking glass. Re-settable MCPs are ideal for locations where frequent testing or accidental activations might occur, as they can be easily reset without requiring glass replacement, saving time and maintenance costs.
Both types of call points are designed to be highly visible, featuring bold colours and clear activation instructions to ensure ease of use in an emergency. Many of our addressable call points come with LED indicators, providing visual confirmation that the alarm has been successfully activated, which reassures users during stressful situations and helps emergency personnel identify the triggered device quickly.
The primary advantage of addressable manual call points is their ability to provide precise location information in the event of an emergency. When activated, the exact location of the triggered call point is communicated to the fire alarm control panel, allowing responders to quickly access the area in need. This targeted response can be crucial in buildings with complex layouts, as it saves valuable time and supports an efficient evacuation process.
Another significant benefit of addressable MCPs is their fault-reporting capability. Addressable call points can monitor their own status and report any issues directly to the control panel. This functionality enables proactive maintenance, helping building managers ensure that all call points are fully operational and compliant with safety standards at all times. This self-monitoring feature reduces the risk of undetected faults that could compromise the system’s effectiveness.
Modern addressable manual call points come with a range of advanced features that enhance both functionality and convenience. For example, many of our models at Firesense include tamper-resistant designs to prevent accidental or malicious activations, which is particularly useful in high-traffic areas such as shopping centres, schools, and hospitals. Additionally, some call points are equipped with environmental protection features, making them suitable for use in challenging conditions, such as outdoor areas or industrial environments where dust, moisture, or temperature fluctuations may be a concern.
Adjustable sensitivity settings are another useful feature in certain Addressable manual call points allowing them to be tailored to specific environments. For instance, settings can be adjusted in areas where false alarms could be disruptive, such as in public venues or offices, without compromising their ability to be quickly and easily activated in an emergency.
At Firesense, we pride ourselves on offering high-quality, reliable addressable manual call points that enhance the effectiveness of fire alarm systems. Our range of MCPs meets the highest safety and quality standards, ensuring they deliver dependable performance in all situations. Our team provides expert guidance in selecting the right call points for your specific building and application, ensuring that each device integrates seamlessly with the existing fire alarm system. Choosing Firesense means gaining access to our extensive experience in fire safety, from product selection and installation advice to ongoing maintenance support.

Firesense’s addressable manual call points are designed for seamless integration with other components of an addressable fire alarm system. This compatibility makes them an ideal choice for facilities planning to expand or adapt their fire safety infrastructure over time, as additional call points and devices can be easily added without disrupting the system. Addressable MCPs are also highly scalable, making them a future-proof solution for facilities that may grow or change layout. In the event of an activation, addressable MCPs can work in tandem with other fire safety components, triggering alarms, emergency lighting, and other essential safety measures. This level of integration supports a coordinated and comprehensive approach to fire safety, ensuring maximum protection for building occupants.
