Abstract
A manual call point (MCP) (130) is provided and includes a housing (210), a frangible element (220) disposed on the housing (210) to be accessible to and operable by a user and a control system (120). The control system (120) is disposed within the housing (210). The control system (120) includes a detector (232) configured to detect frangible element (220) operations, a sensor (233) configured to measure forces applied to the frangible element (220) and a processing unit (234) configured to initiate an alarm responsive to the detector (232) detecting a frangible element (220) operation, to determine whether the measured forces are indicative of an event and to generate a report in accordance with determination results.
