The Alert Point is an aesthetically pleasing, robust and fully featured stand alone alarm system.

Manufactured from tough polycarbonate, the Alert Point is designed for use in industrial as well

Introduction

Alertpoint Installation rev 1_2 Sep10

Quick and easy to install and providing protection within minutes, the Alert Point is an ideal

solution for establishments that have a requirement for a simple but effective alarm system.
They may include: industrial/temporary buildings, warehouses, portacabins, churches, car parks,
small offices and holiday parks etc. Where an EN54 fire system is decommissioned on a
construction site, the Alert Point is ideal as a temporary system for raising an alarm in the event
of an emergency.

Available in a variety of colours, the Alert Point can be used for a wide range of applications such
as fire, intruder, panic, evacuation, assist or general alarm. It also incorporates a tamper switch
to prevent unauthorised removal or misuse.
