Manual Call Point

Manual Call Point is a device for the manual initiation of an alarm.
Manual fire alarm activation is typically achieved through the use of a pull station which then sounds the evacuation alarm for the relevant building or zone.
Manual fire alarm activation requires human intervention, as distinct from automatic fire alarm activation such as that provided through the use of heat detectors and smoke detectors.
It is, however, possible for call points/pull stations to be used in conjunction with automatic detection as part of an overall fire detection and alarm system.
