Summary
The Hochiki HCP-E(SCI) is an intelligent, analogue addressable manual call point (MCP) with an integral short-circuit isolator, so a single device does the job that would otherwise need an MCP plus a separate isolator unit on the loop. It runs on Hochiki’s ESP protocol and comes fitted with a non-frangible, resettable element as standard, meaning operators raise the alarm without breaking any glass.

For you on site, having the isolator built into the call point itself means one less device to spec, wire and fit into the enclosure, and one less point of failure to document on the loop schematic. If a short circuit develops in the field wiring either side of this call point, the isolator keeps the rest of the loop reporting back to the panel.
A bi-coloured status LED flags the difference between a short-circuit fault (amber) and an active alarm (red), so you and the responding engineer can read the device’s state at a glance. Addressing is handled through Hochiki’s TCH-B200 hand held programmer, and the control panel can run a built-in test routine, with a physical test key under the casing for an on-site functional check.
The HCP-E(SCI) ships ready for flush mounting, or you can pair it with the separately sold SR mounting box for a surface-fixed installation.
Features
- Integral short-circuit isolator - protects the rest of the loop if a fault develops at this point, without a separate isolator module
- Bi-coloured status LED - amber for a short-circuit fault, red for alarm, so you can read device status at a glance
- Non-frangible resettable element - operators activate the alarm without breaking glass, and the unit resets ready for re-use
- Built-in test function and test key - panel-initiated self-test plus a physical test key on the underside for on-site checks
- Two loop terminal blocks - straightforward termination for the ESP analogue addressable loop
- Flush or surface mounting - fits flush as supplied, or surface-mount with the separately sold SR mounting box
- LPCB approved to EN 54-11 and EN 54-17, SIL Level 2 approved - suitable for commercial fire systems designed to BS 5839-1
FAQ
No. The HCP-E(SCI) has a short-circuit isolator built into the device itself, so it protects the rest of the loop without an additional isolator base or module. Yes. It’s supplied ready for flush mounting, and for surface fixing you’ll need the SR mounting box, which is sold separately. Addressing is done using Hochiki’s TCH-B200 hand held programmer, which is the standard tool for setting addresses on Hochiki ESP devices. The LED shows amber when a short-circuit fault is present on the device, and switches to red either during communications polling or when the call point is operated. Whether the LED pulses or stays lit during normal polling depends on the fire alarm control panel’s compatibility with this feature. Yes, an optional glass element is available for this call point. If you change the element from glass to flexi, confirm correct operation afterwards by pressing the resettable element. The isolator activates at a typical threshold of 430 ohms resistance. For the full range of resistance values when the device is open or closed, refer to the specification table.Does this call point need a separate isolator module on the loop?
