Summary
The Eaton FX201 is a conventional manual call point (MCP) built for sites where the device needs to cope with more than a dry indoor corridor, thanks to its IP24 rating that suits both internal wall surfaces and weatherproof external mounting. That flexibility means you can specify one device across a mixed site rather than sourcing a separate outdoor-rated unit for exposed locations.

For you on site, that translates into fewer part numbers to carry and less risk of fitting the wrong variant at an external door or covered walkway. The FX201 achieves this with a rugged ABS red plastic housing and a glass disc operating element, wired into any conventional (non-addressable) fire alarm system via rear cable entry.
Features
- IP24 weatherproof rating – fit the same call point on sheltered external walls as well as internal corridors
- Glass disc operation – a visible, tamper-evident break-glass element that signals when the point has been activated
- Rear cable entry – keeps wiring concealed behind the unit for a tidy finish
- Compact 87 x 87 x 53 mm footprint – fits standard back boxes without extra depth to account for
- Lightweight ABS construction – 0.2 kg unit that’s quick to handle and fix during first and second fix
- Non-resettable design – the glass disc must be replaced after activation, giving a clear physical record that the point was used
- EN 54 Part 11 certified – meets the European standard for manual call points

FAQ
Yes, it carries an IP24 rating which the manufacturer lists alongside a weatherproof wall mounting position, so it’s suited to sheltered external locations as well as internal wall surfaces. If the location is fully exposed to driving rain, check the IP24 figure against the exposure level expected at that spot before committing. No. The FX201 uses a glass disc element, so once it has been broken to raise the alarm the disc itself needs replacing rather than the unit being reset in place. Keep spare glass discs in your van stock if you’re maintaining a system with these fitted. The FX201 is a conventional (non-addressable) call point, so it will wire into any conventional fire alarm panel that supports standard call point circuits. It isn’t an addressable device, so it won’t report a unique identifier back to the panel, only a zone-level alarm signal. Cable entry is from the rear of the unit, so plan your containment and back box position accordingly before first fix. There’s no side entry option listed, so make sure cabling routes behind the mounting point rather than in from the side. The unit measures 87 mm wide, 87 mm deep and 53 mm high, which fits standard surface or flush mounting back boxes used for call points of this size. Confirm the exact back box depth against your supplier’s range if you’re working to a tight recess.Can I fit the FX201 outside?
