Flame Proof MCP (Manual Call Point)

A person presses the MCP push button to activate the fire alarm system during a fire emergency. In a hazardous area an ordinary call point could be a source of ignition, so the flame proof version sits in an enclosure built to contain any internal spark. The unit is easy to install and simple to use, and it raises the alarm in the same way as any other call point, so nobody needs training to operate it.

Detectors react to what a fire produces, but a worker often sees trouble first: a leak that ignites, a spill near a hot surface, a smouldering motor. A manual call point gives that person a way to raise the alarm in seconds instead of waiting for a detector to respond. In fast-moving solvent or fuel fires, those seconds matter, which is why hazardous plants fit call points along every exit route.

Flame proof manual call points are used in hazardous locations within industrial areas, commercial areas and shopping complexes. Petrochemical industries are a specific application. Typical locations are:

Prices vary widely, and so does the quality of paperwork. Before you order from us or anyone else, check these points:

We supply, install and service flame proof MCPs with the rest of the alarm in mind:

Call points go at exits and on escape routes, within a short walk from any point of the area, at a height anyone can reach. In hazardous plants we place them close to the exits, so a person never has to walk through the hazard to raise the alarm. A call point does little without a sound, so we pair it with flameproof hooters and the matching flameproof smoke detectors on the same fire alarm panel.

Hazardous-area call points must stay in the condition they were approved in. At each service visit we operate every call point with its test key, check that the cover and bolts are intact, that glands are tight and sealed, and that the alarm shows on the panel. Regular fire drills help too, because they show whether people can find and reach the call points. A cracked cover is replaced, not patched, since it can cancel the protection of the enclosure.

Industries are the main users, with call points at each exit of hazardous areas. Builders and architects of plants should mark exits and escape routes on the hazardous area drawing, so call points sit where people will pass. Commercial building owners with fuel or solvent stores, and hospital owners with chemical or fuel stores, should use approved call points in those rooms too. MEP consultants can share hazardous area drawings and we place call points on the exits. Corporates need approved call points in fuel and generator rooms. Defence sites, including Navy and Army fuel installations and stores, need approved call points, and we quote within their security and vendor-registration rules.
