The function of the call point is to raise an alarm manually once verification of a fire or emergency
condition exists, by pushing the button.
The safety function of the SM87PB Call Point is to raise the alarm when the Button is pressed
Under No fault (Normal) Operating conditions the SM87PB Push Button Unit will raise the alarm
upon operating the switch via pushing the button.
Under fault conditions the failure mode of the Push Buttons is a failure to raise the alarm. For the
failure rate associated with this failure mode please refer to the table below.
