FAQs
What is the main benefit of using these keys?
The primary benefit is the ability to test fire alarm call points without breaking the glass, which saves on replacement costs and prevents accidental triggers or false alarms during testing.
How many keys are included in this product?
This product includes a pack of 10 keys.
Are these keys suitable for all fire alarm call points?
These keys are designed for compatibility with a wide range of popular brands, but not all. It is recommended to check compatibility with your specific call point model if unsure.
Can I use these keys to test the entire fire alarm system?
These keys specifically test the functionality of the manual call point itself. They do not test the alarm sounders, strobes, or communication to the fire alarm control panel.
What should I do if a key doesn't work?
First, ensure the key is correctly inserted and turned as per the call point's instructions. If it still doesn't work, the call point may have an internal fault, or you may have an incompatible model. Try another key from the pack to rule out a faulty key.
How should I store these keys?
It is best to store them in a secure location, such as a toolkit or a designated pouch, to prevent loss and keep them clean.
What is the color of these keys?
The keys are black.
Troubleshooting
Key does not fit the call point slot.
Verify the call point brand against the compatible list. Some older or specialized models may require a different type of key. Ensure you are using the correct end of the key if it has a multi-functional design.
Call point does not activate the alarm system when tested.
Ensure the key is fully inserted and turned correctly according to the call point's design. If the issue persists, the call point itself may require servicing or replacement, or the fire alarm panel may have a fault. This key only tests the call point mechanism.
Key appears bent or damaged.
Discontinue use of the damaged key immediately to avoid potential damage to the call point. Use a replacement key from the pack. Inspect other keys for similar issues.
