Manual call points (ROP)

Manual fire alarms - the key to safety in every facility

Manual fire call points are a key element of fire safety systems.   In our daily practice, we see how important a role they play in protecting life and property. We offer a wide selection of high-quality products from renowned brands. Our range includes a variety of solutions tailored to customer needs.

We often come across questions about the types of available call points. Our offer includes fire buttons, fire power switches and buttons in a key-lockable housing. Models with a hammer are also available, both surface-mounted and flush-mounted. Manual fire call points with LEDs are particularly popular.

A variety of manual fire alarms - from simple to advanced

Our experience shows that   Selecting the right type of alarm device is crucial to the effectiveness of the alarm system.   We offer products from the Spamel, Promet and ABB brands. Each of them has its unique features and advantages. Many customers ask us about the differences between the individual models. Here is a short comparison:

• ROP-A with a hammer - ideal for places with an increased risk of false alarms
• ROP-A without a hammer - suitable for office and commercial spaces
• Buttons with LED - provide additional visual indication of the device status

In the case of office reorganization, we most often recommend flush-mounted models. They blend in perfectly with modern interior design. For industrial facilities, we recommend durable surface-mounted buttons. They are resistant to difficult environmental conditions.

Key Aspects When Choosing Manual Fire Call Points

Selecting the appropriate warning device requires taking many factors into account.   Here are the most important criteria we pay attention to:

1. Compliance with fire safety standards and regulations
2. IP protection class - especially important in humid or dusty rooms
3. Signaling type - optical, acoustic or both
4. Possibility of integration with existing alarm system
5. Easy to install and maintain

Recently, we used a combination of different types of warning devices in a project for a large shopping centre. In public areas, we installed LED buttons. In the back office, we used models with a housing that could be locked with a key. This solution provided optimum protection while minimising the risk of false alarms.

In our daily practice, we observe a growing interest in intelligent fire protection systems. Manual fire alarms are increasingly becoming an element of extensive security networks. They integrate with alarm control panels and monitoring systems. This allows for an immediate response in the event of a threat.

Proper selection and placement of manual call points is crucial to safety.   In our experience, the optimal layout is one that provides easy access to the buttons from anywhere in the building. At the same time, it is important to avoid accidental activation. That is why we often recommend using covers or buttons with protection.

Onninen recommends solutions that have proven themselves in various facilities. For schools and kindergartens, we suggest buttons with a cover against accidental activation. In hotels, models with optical and acoustic signaling work perfectly. For historic buildings, we have special stylized buttons that match the historical decor.

When upgrading older alarm systems, we often face the challenge of compatibility. Our technical team has extensive knowledge of integrating new alarms with existing infrastructure. This allows us to propose optimal solutions without generating excessive costs.

Regular maintenance of manual call points is crucial to their reliability.   Our services include comprehensive inspections and maintenance. These include checking the correct operation, cleaning and replacing worn-out components. This approach ensures that the system will be operational at a critical moment.

Many customers ask us about the possibilities of expanding the system in the future. That is why we recommend modular solutions that are easy to adapt to changing needs. This allows for a gradual increase in the level of security along with the development of the company or institution.

At Onninen, we attach great importance to the quality of our products. All of our manual fire alarms undergo rigorous testing. This ensures their reliability even in extreme conditions. Our customers can be sure that the devices they purchase will fulfill their role in an emergency.
