Manual call point

Bosch Security Systems has introduced an indoor fire alarm manual call point (MCP) that does not require the breaking of a glass pane to be activated. When the frangible element is triggered, the MCP reacts with a distinct mechanical activation that gives a clear feedback. The activation is heard, felt and seen (LED), thus leaving the user without a doubt that the action has been accomplished.

The MCP is designed for conventional use or with Bosch's local security network (LSN), a scalable and freely configurable bus system for secure and flexible connection of fire and intrusion devices. When using the LSN version, up to 254 elements can be connected per loop and without the need for additional components.

The units are available in three colours - red for fire alarm, and blue or yellow for other applications such as 'Evacuate' or 'Hold up' (as in a bank). The application is shown on a symbol or text card inserted under the transparent maintenance flap.

Preprinted text cards of the most frequently used applications, and in a choice of different languages, can be downloaded from Bosch's website.
