XP95 IS Manual Call Point (EN54)

Installation Guide

General

The XP95 IS Manual Call Point (EN54) is available in three versions:

–   part no. 55100-940, non-isolated red Manual Call Point.

–   part no. 55100-942, non-isolated yellow Manual Call Point (Not EN54).

–   part no. 55100-944, non-isolated blue Manual Call Point (Not EN54).

Installation

1.  Fit the backbox to a 

fl

 at surface using the three 

fi

 xing holes and screws provided. The 

cable entry holes should be in the vertical plane. The backbox can be mounted with 

either the single or double entry holes at the top. (Fig 1).

 

Note: Cable entry from the bottom of the call point is recommended if there is a 

possibility of moisture condensing within the conduit or cables. 

2.  Run the cables into the backbox and connect them to the terminal blocks as shown 

in Fig 2. The backbox has a terminal for inter connecting cable screen/drain wire (if 

used). The cable screens (functional earth) should be connected to ground at one 

point only normally near the CIE in the safe area.

3.  If a continuity test is to be done, it should be carried out before securing the call point 

to the backbox (step 5).

4.  Set the unit address on the DIL switch in accordance with the address table overleaf.

5.  Ensure that the O-ring is correctly seated in the Manual Call Point moulding. Place the 

cover squarely over the backbox and carefully push the cover until the locating clips 

have engaged, use the 4 

fi

 xing screws to lock the cover in place. 

Do not use excessive 

force, do not overtighten screws

.

6.  To remove the cover, undo and remove the four cover 

fi

 xing screws and release 

the four retaining clips. To do this place a large 

fl

 at bladed screwdriver into the slot 

between the cover and backbox and gently twist until the clip disengages (Fig 3). 

Repeat this for the three remaining clips and pull the cover away from the backbox.

The XP95 IS Manual Call Point is a ‘type A’ call point and is suitable for outdoor use.

Routine testing

Insert the test key into the hole at the bottom of the call point and push home. Observe 

routine test requirements as speci

fi

 ed in BS5839-1 or the applicable local code.

Resetting

After testing, reset the call point by removing the test key and pushing up the front cover 

until it clicks home. 

Earthing

An earthing plate is provided for continuity of metal conduits. This must be placed behind 

the back box prior to 

fi

 xing the box to the wall. Metal conduits and backboxes should be 

connected to the equipotential safety earth locally in the hazardous area.

Important Information

The use of lubricants, cleaning solvents or petroleum based products should be avoided. 

The O-ring should be replaced when re

fi

 tting or replacing the waterproof cover.

Transparent hinged cover

To provide additional protection against accidental operation, a transparent hinged cover 

with a locking tag, part no 26729-152, is available.

Please note that the call point does not conform to EN54–11:2001 when this lid is fi tted and 

secured with the locking tag supplied.

For further information, please refer to the XP95 IS Engineering Product Guide, PP1095 

available on request.
