A manual call point is a device that enables a person to raise an alarm in case of a fire incident by pressing the button to activate the fire alarm system. This device initiates the alarm manually. The device is connected to a fire alarm panel which is further connected to an alarm system. Human intervention is required for activating the Manual call point. The alarm raises a plastic flag at the top to tell which alarm was activated. The device is visible as it is red. The device is placed at an easily accessible height so that a person can easily activate the fire alarm system in case of emergency.
