Fire detection and fire alarm systems - Part 11: Manual call points
This European Standard specifies the requirements and methods of test for manual call points in fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings. It takes into account indoor and outdoor conditions, the appearance and operation of the manual call points for type A "direct operation" and type B "indirect operation" and covers those which are simple mechanical switches, those which are fitted with simple electronic components (e.g. resistors, diodes) and those which contain active electronic components and which work with the control panels for signalling and identifying, for example, an address or location.
This European standard does not cover manual call points for special applications, for example manual call points that are intrinsically safe or for use in hazardous conditions, if such applications require additional or other requirements or tests than those given in this standard.
Brandmeldeanlagen - Teil 11: Handfeuermelder
1 Anwendungsbereich
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Handfeuermelder in Brandmelde-anlagen
zur Nutzung in Gebäuden und in deren Umgebung fest. Sie berücksichtigt Bedingungen
in Gebäuden und im Freien, Erscheinungsbild und Funktionsweise von Handfeuermeldern des
Typs A ¿Direkte Auslösung" und des Typs B ¿Indirekte Auslösung" und umfasst Handfeuermelder, die
einfache mechanische Schalter sind, Handfeuermelder mit einfachen elektronischen Bauteilen (z. B.
Widerstände, Dioden usw.) und solche mit aktiven elektronischen Bauelementen, die mit Brandmelder-zentralen
für die Alarmierung und Lokalisierung, beispielsweise einer Adresse oder eines Ortes,
zusammenarbeiten.
Diese Europäische Norm behandelt keine Handfeuermelder für Sonderanwendungen, z. B. eigensi-chere
oder für gefährliche Umgebungen einsetzbare Handfeuermelder, wenn derartige Ausführungen
zusätzliche oder andere Anforderungen oder Prüfungen notwendig machen als die in dieser Norm fest-gelegten.
Systèmes de détection automatique d'incendie - Partie 11: Déclencheurs manuels d'alarme
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essais des déclencheurs manuels intégrés dans les systèmes de détection et d'alarme incendie. Elle prend en compte les conditions d'environnement pour une installation à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur des bâtiments ainsi que l'aspect et la man¿uvre des déclencheurs manuels de type A (simple action) et de type B (double action). Elle concerne ceux qui sont de simples interrupteurs mécaniques, ceux qui sont équipés de composants électroniques passifs (par exemple, résistances et diodes) et ceux contenant un circuit électronique actif fonctionnant avec un équipement de contrôle et de signalisation pour identifier, par exemple, une adresse ou une position.
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux déclencheurs manuels destinés à des applications particulières, par exemple les déclencheurs manuels à sécurité intrinsèque ou ceux utilisés dans des conditions dangereuses, si ces applications requièrent d'autres exigences et essais complémentaires que ceux spécifiés dans cette norme.

Introduction
This European Standard has been drafted on the basis of appearance and functions which should be
provided on all manual call points for use in fire detection and fire alarm systems. The colours, dimensions,
shapes and methods of operation are based on recognised operating principles which give confidence and
recognition to the user when operated in genuine fire alarm situations.
It is important for manual call points to be recognisable and simple to use, without the need to read elaborate
instructions so that anyone discovering a fire is able to use the manual call point without previous familiarity
with it.
The purpose of a manual call point is to enable a person discovering a fire to initiate the operation of a fire
alarm system so that appropriate measures can be taken.
The intention of this European standard is to specify requirements for operation and reliability. The methods
of operation of the manual call points covered are as follows:
- Type A: direct operation (single action);
- Type B: indirect operation (double action).
Both types require the breaking or the visible displacement by change of the position of a frangible element
forming part of the front face, which is considered to be the most suitable method for general application and
which act as a deterrent to the misuse of the device.
Importance has been placed on identifying the manual call point, the method by which it is activated and an
indication to the user that the initiation of an alarm has been given.
The resulting standard takes into account national variances in custom and practice and language in bringing
together common elements that contribute towards a standard device for use throughout Europe.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the requirements and methods of test for manual call points in fire
detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings. It takes into account indoor and outdoor conditions,
the appearance and operation of the manual call points for type A "direct operation" and type B "indirect
operation" and covers those which are simple mechanical switches, those which are fitted with simple
electronic components (e.g. resistors, diodes) and those which contain active electronic components and
which work with the control panels for signalling and identifying, for example, an address or location.
This European standard does not cover manual call points for special applications, for example manual
call points that are intrinsically safe or for use in hazardous conditions, if such applications require
additional or other requirements or tests than those given in this standard.
