Wireless manual call points are a vital part of modern fire alarm systems, offering a convenient, flexible, and reliable method for building occupants to manually activate an alarm during an emergency. Designed to integrate seamlessly with wireless fire alarm control panels, these devices ensure rapid communication and activation of alarm systems without the need for extensive cabling. Wireless manual call points are ideal for settings where running cables is impractical, such as historic buildings, temporary structures, or facilities with complex layouts.
Here at Firesense, we provide a wide range of wireless manual call points from trusted manufacturers. These devices combine ease of installation with dependable performance, ensuring compliance with UK and international fire safety standards. Whether for retrofitting existing buildings or installing new systems, wireless manual call points are an excellent choice for enhancing fire safety with minimal disruption.
How Wireless Manual Call Points Work
Wireless manual call points operate using secure radio frequency (RF) communication to send signals directly to the fire alarm control panel. When activated, the device transmits an immediate alert to the control panel, which in turn triggers the alarm system. This ensures a quick and reliable response during emergencies, helping to minimise risks and support the safe evacuation of occupants. Each wireless manual call point is equipped with an independent power source, typically a long-life battery, eliminating the need for connection to the building’s electrical system. The fire alarm control panel monitors the status of all connected devices, including battery levels and connectivity, ensuring that any issues are quickly identified and resolved.
Advantages of Wireless Manual Call Points
One of the key benefits of wireless manual call points is the simplicity of installation. Unlike traditional wired systems, which require separate circuits and cabling, wireless devices can be installed quickly and easily without the need for extensive electrical work. This is particularly valuable for retrofit projects, as it allows existing buildings to be upgraded with minimal disruption to occupants or the structure.
Flexibility is another significant advantage. Wireless manual call points can be easily repositioned or added to a system as a building’s layout or fire safety requirements change. This adaptability makes them ideal for settings such as modular offices, temporary event spaces, or construction sites, where layouts may evolve over time.
Wireless manual call points also provide excellent reliability. Advanced RF technology ensures secure, interference-free communication between the devices and the fire alarm control panel. Many models feature tamper detection and redundant communication paths, further enhancing their dependability.
Maintenance of wireless manual call points is straightforward. With built-in power sources, there is no need for wiring checks, and the fire alarm control panel continuously monitors battery levels to ensure devices remain operational. When maintenance is required, the wireless design allows for quick and easy access, simplifying the process for building managers.
Applications for Wireless Manual Call Points
Wireless manual call points are suitable for a wide range of environments, particularly those where cabling is challenging or undesirable. In heritage buildings, for instance, wireless devices provide a non-invasive solution that preserves the structure’s aesthetics and integrity. Similarly, in temporary structures like construction sites or event venues, wireless manual call points offer portability and ease of reconfiguration.
In modern office buildings and educational facilities, wireless manual call points provide the flexibility needed to adapt to changing layouts or uses. Their quick installation process minimises downtime, ensuring fire safety measures are implemented without disrupting daily operations. For healthcare facilities, where patient care is a priority, the minimal installation impact of wireless systems makes them an ideal choice.
Key Features of Wireless Manual Call Points
Wireless manual call points are designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that anyone can activate them quickly and easily in an emergency. Most models feature a highly visible red casing and a simple activation mechanism, such as a break-glass panel or a re-settable push button. This intuitive design reduces confusion during emergencies and ensures that occupants can raise the alarm promptly.
Break-glass models require the user to break a small glass panel to activate the alarm, providing immediate feedback that the alarm has been triggered. Re-settable models, on the other hand, use a plastic element that can be pressed and reset without needing replacement, making them ideal for regular testing or environments prone to accidental activations.
