Apollo Alarmsense Manual Call Point for 2-Wire Fire Alarm Systems

The Apollo Alarmsense manual call point is the human-operated alarm activation device in an Alarmsense fire system: positioned at fire exits, corridor junctions, and stairways, it enables occupants to trigger the fire alarm manually when they discover a fire or smoke condition before any automatic detector has operated.

The Alarmsense system’s key installation advantage is the 2-wire architecture: detectors, manual call points, and sounders share the same two-conductor circuit, significantly reducing the cable quantity required compared to conventional systems where detection and sounder circuits are wired separately. For contractors completing fire alarm installations in buildings where cable routing is difficult or the cable budget is constrained, the Alarmsense architecture provides a compliant installation with less cable and fewer circuit runs.

Manual call points are positioned in accordance with BS 5839 Part 1 so that no person in the building needs to travel more than 45 metres to reach one. The siting and quantity of call points are determined by the fire alarm designer or installer in accordance with the occupancy and layout of the protected building.

For fire alarm installation engineers across London and the UK completing Alarmsense system installations in offices, schools, care homes, and commercial properties where a 2-wire system is specified, the Apollo Alarmsense manual call point is the correct factory-matched device for this system architecture.
