Emergency Break Glass/Button Cover C532 With Integral Alarm (Flush Mount) Blue

Do I have to remove the break glass unit or button before installing this cover?
No. It is retro-fittable. In plain English this means it will fit over the top of your call point or push button. Simply drill four holes around the device, insert RAWL plugs provided and screw the cover into place. If there is any trunking or conduit (wires) going into the button or break glass, be sure to order the surface mounted version of this cover.

What is the difference between a flush mount and surface mounted cover?
Perhaps a little confusingly, flush or surface refers to the button or break glass unit itself. If the button is flush it is built into the wall. If it is surface mounted it is screwed on top of the wall. In essence if the button is inset within the wall it will not protrude that far, nor will it have wires going into the top of it. In this instance you will need a flush mounted cover.

What do the different colours mean?
The truth is the colour coding often ties with the colours of the buttons they are covering, particularly in the case of red and green.
Red covers should go over fire alarm call points. Green should go over break glass press to exit buttons. Yellow should go over emergency cut off or shut off buttons and blue is the generic catch all cover that can be used over anything.

Can I use this product in a sports hall?
This cover is made from 3mm thick shatter proof polycarbonate. It is incredibly tough and durable. It also has a curved shape to disperse the pressure of any significant impact across its entire surface. To give you a little reassurance, having been selling this product to sports halls and gyms for many years, we are pleased to say this has never been returned as being unsuitable for this environment.

Can I change the message on the cover?

Can I take the message off?
Yes, easy. We can do it for you or you can do it yourself. All that is required is an Allen key to take the coloured plastic out of the top of this unit. You then would need to peel off the message and screw the plastic back into place. This process takes no more than a minute. if you like, SSP can do this at no extra cost.

Will I need to order an external cover if the button in question is outside?
If the button itself is water proof / weather resistant then in truth you may not need to. The only time you need the order an external cover is when the button or device being covered is not weather proof.

Can I silence the alarmed cover if it gets annoying or if I am doing maintenance work on the break glass or button underneath?
Yes, this covers comes with a silencer key that can be inserted as required. More silencer keys can be bought as required. The 9 volt battery also comes out if all else fails!

Do I have to plug the alarmed call point cover in?
No, the unit comes with its own 9 volt battery. Dependent on use this will last anything up to 3 years. By having a battery in place this unit is extremely easy to install and maintain.
