Palex

The Flame Proof Manual Call Point is a robust and reliable emergency signalling device specifically engineered for use in hazardous areas where explosive atmospheres may be present. It is designed to prevent the ignition of surrounding explosive gases or dust by containing any sparks or flames within its flameproof enclosure.

Upon manual activation–typically by breaking the glass or pressing the emergency button–it sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, initiating the fire alarm system. This immediate response mechanism is critical in industrial environments to ensure timely evacuation and fire-fighting measures.
