EN 54-11 Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems - Test for Manually Operated Alarm Devices

Colors, sizes, shapes and working methods are based on operating principles that are reassuring and user-approved when operating in real fire alarm situations. It is important that hand-operated alarm devices are recognizable and easy to use. When anyone detects a fire, they should be able to use the manually operated alarm device, even if they have not used it before, without needing to carefully read the directions.

The purpose of manually operated alarm devices is to initiate the operation of the fire alarm system in detecting fire, so that appropriate measures can be taken. The purpose of this standard is to specify rules for operation and reliability.

Working methods of manually operated alarm devices covered by the standard:

  • Direct operation (with one action),
  • It is indirect work (with two movements).

Both types require visible displacement or breakage of the position of the frangible element forming the faceplate, which is considered the most suitable method for general application and acts as a preventative for device misuse.

Consideration should be given to the identification of the manually operated alarm device to show the method by which the hand operated alarm device is operated and the user to whom the alarm signal is given.

This standard brings together the common elements that contribute to arrive at the standard device for use across Europe, taking into account national changes in custom and language, and language.
