Description

The MCP1A is a reliable, conventional manual call point designed for fire alarm systems to allow manual initiation of an alarm. It meets key standards (EN 54‑11) and is typically used in commercial, residential and institutional fire detection systems.

Key Features

EN 54‑11 approved conventional call point (break‑glass type for many variants).

‘Plug & Play’ terminal block design: makes installation faster by allowing cabling to be terminated then simply connected during device commissioning.

Switching contact with resistor option: e.g., versions like R470 provide a 470 Ω resistor and Normally Open (NO) contact for compatibility with many panels.

Flexible mounting options: available in semi‑flush (e.g., FG) or surface (SG) mounting varieties.

Resettable element or glass break option: some variants support plastic or resettable elements instead of traditional break‑glass.

Anti‑tamper and supervisory compatibility: Designed for security of the device, often used with covers/seals to prevent accidental or malicious activation.

Applications

Commercial office buildings, shopping centres, hotels, schools and multi‑unit residential buildings using conventional fire alarm zones.

Areas requiring a manual means of alarm initiation (in addition to automatic detectors) per fire codes and standards.

Retrofit or upgrade scenarios where simplicity and compatibility with conventional detection circuits is required.
