Answer:
The call point utilizes a frangible break-glass element set in a flame-red (RAL 3001) PC/ABS thermoplastic enclosure. It includes rear rotary decade address switches, a plug-and-play terminal block, and an LED that blinks during panel polling and turns continuous red on alarm.
The HM-MCP-GLASS provides positive manual alarm initiation with several specific design features:
- Actuation Type: Uses a frangible glass element that mechanically releases an internal microswitch upon breakage to trigger an immediate fire signal.
- Enclosure Material: Molded from flame-retardant PC/ABS thermoplastic finished in safety red (RAL 3001).
- Rotary Addressing: Address configuration is set via dual rotary decade switches on the rear of the unit prior to mounting, eliminating the need for handheld programming tools.
- Plug-and-Play Wiring: Employs a detachable terminal connector block that allows field cabling and loop continuity checks before mounting the call point head assembly.
- LED Status Indicator: The panel-driven integral LED blinks red when polled during routine supervisory cycles and latches solid red when the call point is triggered.
- Maintenance Testing: Routine inspections can be performed without breaking the glass element by inserting a dedicated test key into the bottom slot to drop the glass carriage.
