KAC has introduced double-pole versions of its break glass and resettable manual call points.
To activate, the front face of the unit is pressed in the normal way; the unit then latches into the operated condition, with a bright yellow indicator bar dropping into the display window.
A special security key is required to reset the unit back to its quiescent state.
The resettable module can be retrofitted into existing World Series call point bodies.
The resettable operating mechanism is fully compatible with the use of LEDs in the body of the call point to indicate operation.
For external use, the units can be supplied in a rainproof format with environmental protection of the switch contacts to IP55.
A transparent hinged cover and breakable cover seal give additional protection against accidental operation.
