FAQs

What is the purpose of the Vigil Call Point Cover?

The cover is designed to prevent accidental or malicious activations of fire alarm call points, thereby reducing false alarms. It also sounds a loud alarm when lifted to deter tampering.

How is the alarm powered?

The alarm is powered by a standard 9-volt PP3 battery, which is included with the product.

Can I install this over any fire alarm call point?

It is designed to fit over most standard UK fire alarm call points and includes an optional spacer to accommodate both flush and surface-mounted installations.

What happens if someone lifts the cover?

A loud 104-decibel alarm will activate, drawing attention to the lifted cover.

How do I clean the cover?

You can clean the cover with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents.

The cover measures 190mm in height and 140mm in width. The depth is 100mm with the spacer and 65mm without the spacer.

Troubleshooting

Alarm does not sound when the cover is lifted.

Check that the 9v PP3 battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace the battery if it is depleted.

Cover is loose after installation.

Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely to the wall. Verify that the correct mounting method (with or without spacer) has been used for your call point type.

False alarms triggered by the cover itself.

Ensure the cover is securely fastened and not being bumped or disturbed. Check that the battery is properly seated and not causing any internal issues.
