Manual Call Point (MCP) is a device commonly found in fire alarm systems. Its primary function is to allow individuals to manually trigger an alarm in the event of a fire or other emergency. Typically installed at strategic locations throughout a building, such as corridors or near exits, an MCP consists of a push-button or a breakable glass element. When activated, it sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, which then initiates the alarm sequence, alerting occupants and authorities of the emergency.

MCPs are designed to be easily accessible and recognizable, often featuring prominent red or orange coloration and clear signage indicating their purpose. They play a crucial role in fire safety protocols, enabling swift response to potential threats and helping to minimize the risk of injury or damage.
