Strange Red Fire Call Points - How to Test?

Featured Replies

Hi,

Our large building is around six years old and has approximately 25 red call points. Most are either the two prong plastic key reset type, or the circular socket type, but some are the slide down type.

We have four which are none of these and none of us can work out how to test them, as to all intents and purposes, they appear to have no means of release/reset? No holes or access points.

Any advice gratefully received - Thanks

That's a KAC Word Series call point, at one point most call points in the UK were this brand and is very readily tested - see this guide:

If you don't have any keys look here:
