1. INTRODUCTION 

The SCP-1 Manual Call Point is a component part of a fire alarm system. It is manually operated  
to deliver  a fire condition alarm signal  to a  fire control panel.

3. STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONING  
 
3.1

. Structure  

 
Details of the structure of the SCP-1 can be found on the rear of this leaflet. The SCP-1 consists 
of a surface mounting box (pos.1), a carrier unit (pos. 2), a cover (pos. 3), a glass (pos.4), a test 
key (pos.6) and a bridge by which the current value is selected. 
 
There are four holes  for  wall  mounting and a cable entrance located on the rear of the base. The 
carrier unit consists of a carrier, microswitch, a circuit board and a partition. LED indicator, current 
limiting resistors, the M bridge and a connecting terminal are mounted on the circuit board. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 

 

Fig.1 

 

 
 The partition, fixed to the carrier unit closes the microswitch and the circuit board. The carrier unit 
(pos.2) is connected to the base my means of two screws (pos.5). The glass is placed in the 
partition’s groove  so it closes the microswitch and retains the circuit open. The  manual call 
point’s cover is fixed to the carrier unit by means of a screw.  A sticker with a relevant graphic 
image is placed on the glass, indicating the exact point of breaking. 
 

3.2. 

Functioning 

 
 When a fire condition arises in the protected area the cover glass is to be pressed strongly. As a 
result the glass breaks and releases the microswitch. The  circuit closes allowing current to flow at 
a value dependant on the resistor’s values and the operating voltage values (typical for the 
specific  type of the fire control panel). An alarm signal for a fire condition is delivered to the fire 
control panel. The LED illuminates to show activation.  

To reset the SCP-1 remove the front cover and replace the activation glass. (only use ESP type 
G-1 Glass.)  

    

4. PREPARING THE SCP-1 FOR OPERATION 
 
4.1. 

Unpack the delivery and check for its completeness. 

4.2. 

Feed the connection cables through the rear cable hole of the back box. 

4.3. 

Fix the back box to a flat wall at a height of 1.2 – 1.5 m using appropriate fixings. 

4.4. 

Remove the cover by unscrewing the supporting elements. 

4.5. 

Remove the carrier unit (pos.2) and the glass (pos.4) after unscrewing. 

4.6. 

Connect the cables from the fire alarm panel to the SCP-1s’ terminals as follows:  

      

-

 input / output (+ )

  and   

“+” 

;  

      - 

input / output ( - )

  and   

“ - ” ;

 

      - 

shielded wire  (S)

  and   

“S”.

 

Cut the bridge in order to select the required active state current values.  

4.7. 

Place the carrier unit (pos.2) in the base and fix it using the two screws (pos.5). 

4.8. 

Check the glass for signs of damage. 

4.9. 

Place the cover (pos.3) onto the carrier unit (pos.2) and tighten the screw (pos.5). 

 

5. TEST

 

  

5.1. 

Test the correct operation  SCP-1 by inserting the test key supplied into the test slot at left 

hand side of the unit’s base. 

5.2. 

Turn the test key clockwise until the glass moves slightly forwards and a “click” is heard. The 

SCP-1’s red LED should now be illuminated.  

5.3.

  To restore normal condition turn the key anticlockwise to the initial position and lightly pres 

the glass in an upward direction until a further “click” is heard and the LED extinguishes.
