Fire detection and alarm systems Manual call points (ISO 7240-11:2005, MOD)
Standards Australia
Abstract
Specifies requirements, test methods and performance criteria for line type smoke detectors utilizing the attenuation and/or changes in attenuation of an optical beam, for use in fire detection systems installed in buildings.
Scope
This part of ISO 7240 specifies the requirements, test methods and performance criteria for manual
call points in fire detection and alarm systems in and around buildings (see ISO 7240-1). 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 and
indicating equipment for signalling and identifying, for example, an address or location.
This part of ISO 7240 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.
