Manual Test and Reset Operation of the Station
The CP-PB and the CP-BG stations have separate activation techniques for placing the internal switch into the alarm
state and resetting the stations to normal after the alarm state. Follow the instructions according to your station type.
CP-PB Stations
Activation Test
For the manual pushbutton stations, activation is accomplished by a front force directly inward towards the station
against the black pushbutton, locking the pushbutton in an alarm state. Upon doing so, the activation indicator with a
reset keyway on the front face located directly below the pushbutton will rotate approximately 60° clockwise, positioning
itself in the direction of the ALARM state away from the NORMAL standby state. Ensure that the proper switch activation
has occurred and that the associated control panel is in alarm mode for the station.

Reset Test
For the manual pushbutton stations, resetting is accomplished by rotating the activation indicator approximately 60°
counterclockwise by use of a reset keyway that is mated to the activation indicator. Upon rotating counterclockwise,
the pushbutton knob, along with the internal switch, will be released from the activated ALARM states and return to the
NORMAL standby positions as noted on the station’s front faceplate. Ensure that the proper switch deactivation has
occurred and that the associated control panel returns to normal standby mode for the station.
CP-BG Stations
Activation Test
For the manual break glass stations, activation may be accomplished by either of two means:
1. Applying a front force directly inwards towards the station against the glass panel, which is noted with BREAK
GLASS PRESS HERE along with a corresponding target dot to apply the force to break the glass panel. A polyester
label is attached on the glass panel to protect the user from glass particles when the panel is broken. Once
broken, the unit must have the panel replaced for resetting it.

2. Using the reset keyway (factory attached on
non- CP-BG-x-x-x-xxx-xx-2 stations) mated to the
faceplate’s activation indicator, rotate the indicator
approximately 60° clockwise until the indicator
notes ALARM. The glass panel will physically
be displaced upward during this action, and the
internal switch will be activated without breaking
the glass panel. This provides a means of testing
the station without breaking the glass panel.
NOTE: On CP-BG-x-x-x-xxx-xx-2 (EN54-11) models
the keyway is not factory attached; it is supplied
separately within the packaging. Per EN54-
11 standards and regulations, it is to be used
separately as a discrete standalone keyway to reset

in the direction of the ALARM state away from the NORMAL standby state, triggering the internal switch. Ensure that the
proper switch activation has occurred and that the associated control panel is in alarm mode for the station.
Reset Test
For the manual break glass stations, resetting is accomplished by either of two methods (following the previously
mentioned two methods of activating the stations):
1. To replace the broken glass panel, follow the directions on page 16. Once replaced, the internal mechanism
should be back to its NORMAL standby position as noted on the station’s front faceplate. Ensure that the proper
switch deactivation has occurred and that the associated control panel returns back to normal standby mode for
the station.
2. To reset the glass panel in the NORMAL state (the glass panel is unbroken), rotate the activation indicator
approximately 60° counterclockwise by use of a reset keyway that is mated to the activation indicator. Upon
rotating counterclockwise, the glass panel will move slightly downward, and the internal switch will be released
from its activated ALARM state, returning the station back to its NORMAL standby position as noted on the
station’s front faceplate. Ensure that the proper switch deactivation has occurred and that the associated control
panel returns back to normal standby mode for the station.
NOTE: if the reset keyway (which is NOT factory installed on EN54-11 stations) remains installed on the activation
indicator, the action remains the same, with a larger indicator showing the station’s status. BUT the possibility
of access to resetting the station is evident to those reasonably knowledgeable of its operation that are nearby,
which may result in false signals being sent to the indicating control panel. Refer to page 17 for instructions on
removing the factory-installed keyway for use only by authorized personnel. Failure to observe this warning may
lead to property damage, serious injury, or death.

Safety Messages to Maintenance Personnel
SAFETY MESSAGES TO INSTALLERS AND USERS : Products should be installed by a licensed electrician and follow
all safety instructions. Failure to do so may result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Listed below are some
important safety instructions and precautions you should follow with regards to all instructions within this manual:
• Read and understand all instructions before operating this system.
• If you acquired a signicant quantity of units, then it is recommended that spares be made available.
• Any maintenance to the Call Points station must be done with the power turned off.
• Any maintenance to the Call Points station must be performed by a trained electrician who is thoroughly familiar
with all applicable national and local codes in the country of use.
• Never alter the unit in any manner. The unit’s safety may be affected if additional openings or other alterations are
made to the internal components or housing.
• The nameplate, which may contain cautionary or other information of importance to maintenance personnel, should
NOT be obscured in any way. Ensure that the nameplate remains readable.
• After performing any maintenance, test the Call Points station to ensure that it is operating properly.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Maintaining/Modifying the Call Point Station
During the working life of the station, it should require little or no maintenance. The non-metallic front and rear glass
reinforced polyester (GRP) housings will resist attack by most acids, alkalis, and chemicals and is as resistant to
concentrated acids and alkalis. The front faceplates are of the same material with an acrylic color overcoat. However, if
abnormal or unusual environment conditions occur due to plant damage or accident, etc., visual inspection of the Call
Point station is recommended. Replacement front faceplates are available if a need arises.
Cleaning the Enclosure
The housing/faceplate enclosure should be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth to maintain the legibility of all labels,
icons, and optional LED output. While cleaning, if it is noticed that any part of the station is damaged, it must be replaced
to maintain the functional integrity of the device. Reference the service/accessory parts section of this manual to do so.
Replacing the Break Glass Panel (CP-BG units)
To replace a broken glass panel on the station:
CUTTING HAZARD: Safety gloves are required when accessing the internal front chamber with a broken glass panel in
order to prevent wounds.
1. Carefully remove the front faceplate to access the front chamber. Caution should be taken, as sharp glass pieces
may be evident, which may result in wounds.
2. Remove and carefully discard the remaining panel pieces from the front chamber and any that may have fallen
outside the chamber/station.

3. Position the replacement glass panel at an angle as shown in the following illustration with its top edge placed
against the three return bias springs. Along the bottom edge, place your thumb at the dual black triangles on
either side. Applying pressure to the panel with the both thumbs, push upward toward the three springs—enough
to wedge the glass panel next to the activation indicator’s cam surface and into the two corner bosses holding the
panel in place. The panel should now be constrained so that it does not push itself outward.

Installing/Servicing the Reset Keyway
The reset keyway is factory-attached on the CP-PB and CP-BG stations. On the CP-BG-x-x-x-xxx-xx-2 (E54-11 approved)
stations, it is provided separately to be used only as a discrete standalone key. On these models, the key should not be
permanently installed for EN-54-11 installations and shall be used only for test purposes. Its purpose is twofold:
1. Provide a means of resetting all devices after an activated ALARM status by a 60° counter-clockwise rotation of
the activation indicator.
2. Provide a means of ALARM activation testing of the CP-BG stations without breaking the glass panel.

Removal/attachment of the reset keyway is easily done by use of a M2 hex wrench mated to the M4 set screw below the
triangular directional status indicator. The set screw need not be fully removed from the keyway, only loosened enough
to lift the keyway along with the bearing washer from the unit’s status indicator.
Installing/Servicing the Optional Cover Flap
An optional, clear, polycarbonate cover ap is provided either factory-attached on the CP-PB and CP-BG stations or as a
eld-installable kit. The cover ap may also be ordered with a clear instructional label attached (e.g., IN CASE OF FIRE
LIFT COVER BREAK GLASS, IN CASE OF FIRE LIFT COVER PUSH BUTTON, TO ACTIVATE LIFT COVER BREAK GLASS, and
TO ACTIVATE LIFT COVER PUSH BUTTON). The IN CASE OF FIRE LIFT COVER BREAK GLASS marking must be present on
EN54-11 certied models.
To remove or remove/reattach a cover ap:
1. Remove the front faceplate per directions found earlier in ”Call
Point Front Chamber Access” on page 5. Place the two
stainless steel pivot pins of the cover ap within the slot found
on the backside of the faceplate, and rotate the cover 180° to
snap the cover ap onto the front face.
2. Reattach the faceplate (See “Opening / Closing the Call Point
for Internal Access” on page 4), and then open the cover
to reattach the pushbutton and the reset keyway if they are
provided with the station.
3. Ensure that access to the activation pushbutton or glass panel
is easily accomplished by lifting the cover ap upward.

Servicing the LED Module
NOTE: The bi-color LED service kit option is provided only for factory-LED-installed stations in either 6, 12, 24, or 48 Vdc
applications noted as such on their model # : CP-BG-x-x-x-xxx-XX-x or CP-PB-x-x-x-xxx-XX-xx where XX = 06, 12, 24, or
48Vdc on stations where the LED is present. If XX = 00, no LED is present within the unit.
Replacement service kits are NOT to be installed on stations with XX = 00 within their model number. Failure to
observe this warning may lead to property damage, serious injury, or death.
In the event that the LED is not lighting in either normal (green) or alarm (red) state within an LED station, it should be
replaced along with its series resistor with the proper kit, depending on its applicable voltage (See Table 2 on “Table
2 Call Points Field Installed Service/Accessory Kits” on page 23 for the available kits.) The kit consists of the LED
module and its corresponding series resistor, along with two wire ties.
Tools needed (after internal access):
• Wire cutter
• #1 Philips screwdriver
To service the module:
1. Ensure that the power is off and the station is in NORMAL mode.
2. Open the station so that the front housing’s internal side is shown (see “Opening / Closing the Call Point for
Internal Access” on page 4), along with the internal side of the rear housing. Remove the three screws holding
the switch shroud in place to gain easier access to the LED module:
3. Remove the mounting screw holding the LED module in place (set it aside, as it will be needed for installing the
replacement), and clip and remove the wire ties bundling the three LED wires to the switch wires.

4. Carefully remove the LED module by lifting it from its recessed relief in the front housing.
5. Remove the three LED 22 AWG leads from the cage clamp wiring block:
• Green wire @ terminal #5
• Red wire @ terminal #6
• Black wire @ terminal #7
6. Remove the corresponding series resistor module (snap tabs) whose leads are attached to terminals #8 and #9 of
the block.

7. In reverse order, begin the replacements process:
a. Replace the series resistor with the one provided within the kit, running the two leads to terminals #8 and #9.
Snap the resistor module in place where the previous one was located.
b. Attach the three wires from the replacement LED module to the wiring block:
• Green wire @ terminal #5
• Red wire @ terminal #6
• Black wire @ terminal #7
c. Notice the rectangular relief within the inside housing wall where the previous LED module was seated. Place
the replacement LED module within the same relief and tighten it in place with the screw that was previously
taken out.
d. While still open, repeatedly (a minimum of ten times) actuate the station to ensure that the LED module is
seated properly in place and does not interfere with the actuation cylinder’s rotational movement about it. If
not, unscrew and reseat the module in its reliefs, screw it in place, and try again.
e. After conrming that the station actuates properly, use the two wire ties provided within the kit to bundle and
tie the switch wires to the LED wires in the locations where the previous wire ties were. Clip off the excess of
the wire tie so that it cannot interfere with the switch’s actuation.
8. Reattach the front housing to the rear housing. (See “Opening / Closing the Call Point for Internal Access” on
page4.)
9. Ensure that the station is in full working order (both LEDs work in their respective status: Red = alarm state;
Green = Normal State) after power has been reapplied.
Installing/Servicing the Optional Break Glass
Hammer Bar
NOTE: The break hammer bar kit cannot be used with stations
that already have a side stainless steel duty label already
attached to the station.
The optional break glass hammer bar kit is side-mounted on
the rear housing of the station as a factory or eld installed
option. The kit contains all the parts necessary if replacement
parts are required for existing damaged or missing parts of
the break glass hammer bar option.
