Resettable manual call points from STI Europe have been installed at London's tube stations as part of an upgrade of fire alarm systems by London Underground Limited.

Help points for London Underground

STI’s ReSet call points, which were already installed in London Underground stations, have now been incorporated into help points – alarm boxes set up across the Underground for commuters. The help points, which have been fitted both underground and outside, use an IP-65 rated solution. The rollout followed trials in Great Portland Street, Baker Street and Euston Square stations.

Jonathan Summers, business development manager at STI (Europe), who worked closely with Mike Mannering, maintenance fire engineer with London Underground Maintain, said:

“At the start of last year Mike and I worked closely together to develop a new back box for the ReSet – a 50mm version rather than the 30mm version – to ensure that it could accommodate all aspects of the existing cabling installations required within the London Underground remit.

"This had pretty significant consequences across the whole network. We also produced a simple ‘not in use’ label to readily identify those call points which had been decommissioned.”
