Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0111585A1] A call point for use, for example, in fire alarm systems has a displaceable element (3) such as a sheet of plastics material which is displaceable so as to cause a switch (2) to indicate an alarm condition. A flag (7) indicates that the call point has been actuated and requires re-setting. The flag (7) is integral with the displaceable element so as to move, as the element (3) moves, from a first position where it is not seen to a second position where it is seen. This may be achieved by the flag (7) being visible in a window (6) when in the second position. The element (3) may be held by a catch (4) integral with the housing (1) of the call point when the element (3) is in the unactuated position. There may be a cam (58) on which the element (3) rests in its unactuated position, the cam being displaceable to restore the element to the unactuated position when it has moved to the actuated position. The call point may have a back plate (100) and a chassis (101) and a front cover with an electrical component (103) such as a switch for setting an address of the call point as on the front surface of the chassis.
