BExCP3A-PT/BExCP3B-PT Tool Reset Call Point

 

The BExCP3A-PT and BExCP3B-PT push button, tool resettable manual call points are approved for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 hazardous areas for the control of fire and gas alarm systems. Available with and without monitoring resistors all versions are certified to ATEX and IECEx standards.

The push button mechanism is protected by a spring loaded cover therefore the switch requires a two-action activation. The push button is user resettable via the use of the special key supplied with the unit. The BEx range features enclosures manufactured from corrosion proof, marine grade, copper free LM6 (A413) aluminium which is phosphated and powder coated.
