HOCHIKI ADDRESSABLE CALL POINT
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Products covered: HCP-E, HCP-E/Y, HCP-E(DPS), HCP-E(SCI), HCP-EO(SCI)
& HCP-EM

IMPORTANT: These call points are suitable for use only with the particular class of system for which they are
intended. These units are only compatible with the Enhanced Systems Protocol (ESP) and are for indoor use
only. Important Note – The use of lubricants, cleaning solvents or petroleum based products should be

avoided.

SETTING THE ESP LOOP ADDRESS

Ensure that each device has a unique address set before operation. Note the addres s can be set before or
after connection to the loop but the loop MUST NOT be powered. The address is set by connecting a hand held
programmer (TCH-B100) to the programming connector on the reverse of the call point (top left corner) using a
PL-3 programming lead. Plug the square connector of the PL-3 on to the programming connector on the call
point, note the connector is NOT polarised (see fig 4). Set the address in the usual way (see the TCH-B100
Instructions for further details). Once the address is stored remove the programming lead.

STATUS LED

The call point incorporates an LED mounted on the front cover which is continuously lit red when the device is
operated. The HCP-E(SCI) incorporates a bi-coloured LED; the LED will show amber when a short-circuit is
present but will switch to red when the unit is operated.

POLLING MODE

The polling mode of the call point (whether the call point will flash intermittently when connected to the loop) is
controlled via the connected control panel (check control panel compatibility). Note that factory default for all
models is flashing mode.

MOUNTING / CONNECTION

Flush Mounting: All units will fit onto any standard UK single switch/socket box having 60mm horizontal fixing
centres and a recommended minimum depth of 25mm.

Surface Mounting: Two styles of plastic back box are available for surface mounting, the SR for use with the

HCP-E, HCP-E/Y, HCP-E(SCI), HCP-EO(SCI) and HCP-EM and the SR-1T for use with the HCP-E(DPS) which
features a cable screen terminal.

If the unit is to be surface mounted, fix the plastic back box to the fixing surface using the four screw holes
provided (do not over tighten). A larger round hole is provided for loop cable entry. Before mounting the call
point to the back box, use the test key to unlock the lower cover (see fig 1). Remove the lower cover by sliding
downwards (see fig 2). Remove the non-frangible element to reveal the back box screw holes (see fig 3).

For surface or flush mounting, wire the unit to the loop cables using the terminal blocks, note these blocks
can be removed for easier connection (see fig 4). Wire the loop cables as per the wiring diagrams shown
below (see figs 5 and 6). The loop connections must not be greater than 2.5mm
fixing to the terminal blocks. Once connected, fix the call point to the back box with the long black screws
(supplied).

Replace the non-frangible element (yellow strip to
top). Place the cover over lower half of unit so that
the tabs inside the cover line up with the grooves
on the sides of the main unit (see fig 7). Then
slide the cover up back into place until it clicks shut
(see fig 8).

TESTING

To test the call point insert the supplied test key
into the aperture at the bottom of the unit until the
lower cover opens. The non-frangible element will
drop, thus simulating operation of the call point

fig 8

(see fig 1). To reset the unit remove the key and
slide the lower cover up (with the non-frangible element) back into place until it clicks shut (see fig 8).

RESETTING AFTER ACTIVATION

To reset the call point after it has been activated, insert the supplied test key into the aperture at the bottom of
the unit until the lower cover opens, remove key. If a glass element has been used, remove cover, replace
glass element and replace cover. Then slide the lower cover up (with the element) back into place until it clicks
shut (see fig 8).
