Loop Powered & Non Lamp Powered MCP

Loop Powered & Non Lamp Powered MCP

MCP stands for Manual Call Point, which is a device used in fire alarm systems to manually activate an alarm in case of fire or emergency.

Loop-powered MCPs are devices that do not require a separate power supply, as they draw their power from the fire alarm system's loop. They typically have a low power consumption and are designed to operate within the voltage and current limits of the fire alarm system's loop. This type of MCP is usually used in addressable fire alarm systems.

Non-lamp powered MCPs are devices that do not have a built-in visual indication, such as an LED or a lamp. These MCPs are designed to be used in conjunction with a separate visual indication device, such as an LED indicator panel, to provide visual indication of an activated alarm. This type of MCP is typically used in conventional fire alarm systems.
