Product Overview
An Intrinsically Safe version of our WCP3A outdoor call point is available for installation in hazardous
areas. These call points are manufactured to protect against other hazards, as defined in paragraph
1.2.7 of annex II of the ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. They are intended for outdoor use within Intrinsically
Safe (I.S.) systems using suitable I.S. barriers (contact KAC for a list of approved barriers).
Installation efficiency, flexibility and full compliance with the latest standards are at the heart of the
new WCP outdoor Call Point range.
The outdoor WCP is an IP67 sealed manual call point product. The enhanced environmental protection
allows the unit to be installed in many external environments where water and dirt are likely to be
present, making it a true waterproof and outdoor product.
Installation time and ultimately cost, are of paramount importance to any fire or security installer.
The WCP range directly reflects this need by providing a unique ‘plug and play’ concept designed
specifically to reduce installation time. All new WCP products utilise a special terminal block,
where all initial installation cabling is terminated. This terminal block is then simply connected to
the back of the WCP. Simple, but effective with no re-termination required and no time wasted. In
addition, all WCP products are supplied with three standard 20mm threaded holes for cable entries,
accommodating all types of surface wiring installations.
Through new standards and legislation, both break glass and re-settable operating elements can now
be used within a manual call point. To provide you with the greatest ‘flex-ability’, the new WCP range
can be configured as either a break glass or re-settable unit by simply changing from one element to
another. No other additional parts or alternative products need to be ordered.
All WCP Outdoor Call Point products also help preserve the integrity of the overall system as illegal removal of
the product lid will result in the call point operating and the system going in to alarm.
Full compliance with the latest standards is essential and the new WCP indoor call point range is fully
approved to the latest EN54-11 standard.
The WCP3A product version is supplied with one normally open and one normally closed contact.
Selecting either the “Normally Open” or “Normally Closed” contact is easily achieved by simply connecting
the terminal block to the required connection in the back of the WCP3 product. Single pole changeover
switching can be achieved with the use of two terminal blocks.
