Summary
The HFW-CP-03/C is a wireless manual call point (MCP) built for sites where running a cable back to the fire panel isn’t practical or cost-effective. Its bi-directional wireless link talks back to the Translator or Expander Module it’s paired with, so an activation is confirmed at the panel rather than simply transmitted and hoped for.

For you on site, that confirmed signal path means fewer comms queries during commissioning and fewer return visits chasing dropped activations. It’s a straightforward retrofit option for listed buildings, heritage sites or anywhere chasing in cable isn’t an option.
The unit pairs with any Hyfire Translator or Expander Module, giving you flexibility in how you design the wireless network around a site. A resettable plastic element with a drop-down warning flag means the device can be tested and returned to service with the supplied key, rather than needing a replacement glass or frangible element.
Features
- Bi-directional wireless communication – activation signal is confirmed back from the Translator or Expander Module, not just sent
- Resettable element – reset after test or activation with the supplied key instead of fitting a new element
- 10-year typical battery life – 2 x CR123A cells shared across the Hyfire wireless range, simplifying spares stock
- 150m open-space range – gives you flexibility in siting call points relative to the nearest Translator or Expander Module
- Self-optimising frequency and amplitude algorithms – the unit adjusts itself across 7 channels to maintain link quality
- Optional transparent cover or weatherproof enclosure – protects against accidental operation or suits outdoor and hostile environments
- Approved to BS EN 54-11 and BS EN 54-25

FAQ
Yes. It’s designed to be compatible with all Hyfire Translator and Expander Modules, so it can be added to an established Hyfire wireless network without needing a different generation of hardware. The unit has a resettable plastic element that drops a warning flag when operated. A key is supplied with the MCP that resets the element and opens the case, so there’s no part to replace after a test activation. It runs on 2 x CR123A batteries (3V, 1.2Ah), with a typical life of 10 years. These are the same battery type used across other Hyfire wireless devices, which is worth noting when you’re planning spares for a mixed-device site. As standard it’s rated IP42, which is intended for indoor use. For outdoor or hostile environments, Hyfire offers a weatherproof enclosure for this call point, which should be specified for that application. The datasheet states a communication range of up to 150m in open space. On a real site, walls, floors and equipment will reduce that figure, so it’s worth doing a site survey rather than designing purely to the open-space number. Yes, an optional transparent Protective Call Point Cover is available that fits the HFW-CP-03/C. It reduces accidental or malicious activation and can help meet dual-activation requirements where two positive actions are mandated.Will the HFW-CP-03/C work with our existing Hyfire wireless network?
