Manual Control Point Foam Release Sign

The Manual Control Point Foam Release Sign provides clear and highly visible identification of the manual activation point for a foam fire suppression system. Positioned directly adjacent to the relevant control, the sign helps authorised and trained personnel quickly recognise the manual release point when activation of the foam extinguishing system is required.

Suitable for industrial premises, fuel storage facilities, chemical processing areas, aircraft hangars, loading areas, plant rooms, manufacturing facilities and other locations protected by fixed foam fire suppression systems, this sign provides an important point of use identification for the system release control.

Foam fire suppression systems are commonly designed to control particular fire risks involving flammable or combustible liquids. Depending on the system and application, the foam can form a blanket over the burning material, helping separate the fuel from the surrounding air, suppress flammable vapours and reduce the likelihood of re-ignition.

The Manual Control Point Foam Release Sign helps distinguish the foam system release control from fire alarm call points, emergency stop buttons, sprinkler controls and other switches that may be located nearby. Clear identification is particularly important in industrial environments where several emergency systems and controls may be installed within the same area.

Manual activation of a foam suppression system should only be carried out in accordance with the procedures established for the particular installation. Personnel expected to operate the control should receive appropriate information, instruction and training so that they understand the purpose of the system and the actions required during an emergency.

Depending on the installation, activation of the foam system may be associated with alarms, equipment shutdowns, valve operation or other automatic functions. The correct emergency procedure should therefore be based on the design and operating instructions for the specific fire suppression system.

The manual release point should remain clearly visible and readily accessible at all times. Access should not be obstructed by stored materials, machinery, vehicles or other equipment that could prevent authorised personnel from quickly reaching the control when required.

The Manual Control Point Foam Release Sign can form part of a wider fire suppression identification system alongside Foam Inlet signs, Fire Pump Start Button signs, Fire Alarm signs, Emergency Stop notices and other system specific operating and identification signage.

Foam suppression systems, manual release controls, alarms, valves and associated equipment should be appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by competent persons in accordance with the requirements applicable to the particular installation. Any faults or changes that could affect system operation should be addressed promptly.

Signage should complement rather than replace appropriate fire suppression system design, operating instructions, risk assessments, emergency procedures, maintenance and staff training. The sign should only be installed where the identified control is specifically intended to initiate the foam release system.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Manual Control Point Foam Release Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for identifying a critical fire suppression control. It helps improve system identification, reinforce emergency procedures and ensure the manual foam release point can be quickly recognised when required.
