ASENWARE AW-D135A Addressable Manual Fire Alarm Call Point with Protective Cover

The ASENWARE AW-D135A Addressable Manual Fire Alarm Call Point is an intelligent emergency activation device designed for use with compatible addressable fire alarm systems. It allows a building occupant to manually trigger the fire alarm after discovering or confirming a fire emergency.

Each call point is assigned a unique address within the fire alarm system. When activated, it sends its coded address and operating status to the control panel, enabling security personnel, building managers and emergency responders to identify the exact call point and programmed location from which the alarm was raised.

The unit features a reusable non-glass operating element that can be reset after activation using the appropriate reset method. The clear protective front cover helps reduce accidental operation while keeping the device visible and accessible during an emergency.

Primary Function

The manual call point is designed to:

• Allow occupants to activate the fire alarm manually
• Send an individually addressed alarm signal to the control panel
• Help identify the exact floor, room or area where the alarm was raised
• Activate programmed sounders, strobes and other fire alarm outputs
• Provide visible indication of normal and alarm conditions
• Operate as part of a complete addressable fire detection system

How the Manual Call Point Works

During normal operation, the call point remains connected to the addressable loop and communicates continuously with the compatible fire alarm control panel.

When the operating element is pressed:

1. The call point changes to an alarm condition.
2. Its unique address and status are transmitted to the fire alarm panel.
3. The panel displays the programmed location of the activated call point.
4. The red alarm indicator remains illuminated.
5. Programmed sounders, strobes and other fire safety outputs are activated.
6. The call point can be reset after the incident has been investigated and the system is authorised for restoration.

The red indicator flashes during normal monitoring and remains continuously illuminated after the call point has been activated.

Recommended Applications

The ASENWARE AW-D135A Addressable Manual Call Point is suitable for:

• Hotels, lodges and guesthouses
• Office buildings
• Apartment buildings
• Shopping centres and supermarkets
• Retail stores
• Schools, colleges and universities
• Hospitals and healthcare facilities
• Warehouses and distribution centres
• Factories and manufacturing facilities
• Airports and transport terminals
• Banks and financial institutions
• Government and public buildings
• Industrial premises
• Commercial complexes
• Large residential developments
• Restaurants and hospitality facilities

Recommended Placement

Manual call points should be positioned where occupants can reach them quickly while leaving the building. Suitable locations may include:

• Emergency exits
• Final exit doors
• Stairway entrances
• Corridors and hallways
• Building reception areas
• Floor entrances
• Designated evacuation routes
• Entrances to high-risk rooms
• Security and monitoring points
• Other approved fire alarm locations

The call point should remain clearly visible and should not be hidden behind furniture, curtains, doors, shelves, decorations or stored materials.

Its exact quantity, mounting height and positioning should be determined through an approved fire alarm design and applicable fire safety requirements.

Addressable System Benefits

Because the AW-D135A is an addressable device, the fire alarm panel can identify the individual call point that has been activated rather than displaying only a general alarm zone.

This can help provide:

• Faster identification of the alarm location
• More accurate emergency response
• Improved monitoring across large buildings
• Clear device and location descriptions
• Easier fault investigation
• Improved maintenance records
• Better integration with programmed alarm outputs

Compatible Fire Alarm Equipment

Depending on the approved system design, the manual call point may operate alongside compatible:

• Addressable smoke detectors
• Addressable heat detectors
• Fire alarm sounders
• Sounder and strobe units
• Addressable input and output modules
• Fire alarm control panels
• Relay-control modules
• Door-release interfaces
• Smoke-control equipment
• Building-management system interfaces
• Remote fire alarm monitoring equipment

All connected equipment must be compatible with the selected addressable fire alarm panel and communication protocol.

Installation and Commissioning

The manual call point should be installed, wired, addressed and commissioned by a qualified fire alarm technician.

Professional installation should include:

• Confirming compatibility with the control panel
• Selecting the correct mounting location
• Installing the surface or semi-flush enclosure
• Connecting the two-wire addressable loop
• Assigning a unique device address
• Programming an accurate location description
• Testing communication with the control panel
• Activating the call point to verify its alarm response
• Confirming operation of the LED indicator
• Confirming activation of sounders and strobes
• Testing the reset procedure
• Recording the device in the fire alarm documentation

The clear protective cover should open freely and must not prevent emergency access to the call point.

Inspection and Maintenance

Routine inspection and testing are necessary to ensure the call point remains ready for emergency operation. Maintenance checks should include:

• Confirming that the device remains visible and accessible
• Checking the protective cover for cracks or damage
• Inspecting the housing for physical damage
• Confirming that the operating element is correctly positioned
• Checking that the LED indicator functions properly
• Testing communication with the control panel
• Confirming that the correct address appears on the panel
• Checking the programmed location description
• Testing activation and reset functions
• Inspecting wiring and terminal connections
• Confirming that no objects obstruct the call point
• Recording all test results in the maintenance log

Testing and resetting should be performed by authorised personnel using the correct equipment and procedures.

Important Product Note

The ASENWARE AW-D135A is a system-connected manual fire alarm device. It does not detect smoke, heat or flames automatically and does not function as a standalone fire alarm.

It requires a compatible addressable fire alarm control panel, correct loop wiring, device addressing, programming and professional commissioning. A complete fire alarm installation may also require detectors, sounders, visual alarms, backup power supplies, interface modules and other approved system components.
