The CP830 Weatherproof surface-mounting Manual Call Point has a plastic coated frangible element to ensure safe and reliable operation, producing no dangerous glass shards. It is operated by simply pressing on the centre of the frangible element until it snaps, releasing a microswitch, which signals an alarm at the Tyco MX Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE).
A hammer, or other impact device, is not required. The integral LED indicator will illuminate when an alarm is registered and may be programmed to blink when the CP830 is polled by the CIE. The CP830 has an International Protection rating of IP67, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
