Xtra-Glo Fire Alarm Call Point Signs help you identify manual alarm buttons faster in corridors, stairwells, reception areas and plant rooms, supporting quicker action during an emergency.
Xtra-Glo Fire Alarm Call Point Signs identify the manual alarm button with a red fire safety layout and photoluminescent glow. They help staff, visitors and contractors find the call point quickly in corridors, stairwells and workplaces when lighting drops or smoke reduces visibility.
Where Xtra-Glo Fire Alarm Call Point Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this sign directly beside or above each manual fire alarm call point, especially in corridors, exits, stairwells, reception areas, workshops and shared workplace routes. Clear placement helps people spot the alarm quickly, even when stress, smoke or poor lighting makes a small call point easy to miss.
Viewing Distance Guidance For This Fire Alarm Sign
Use the 100 x 100mm size where people approach the call point at close range, such as corridors, doorways and office routes. Keep it at eye level where possible and avoid fitting it behind doors, shelving or equipment that can block the red face and glow surface.
| Size | Best viewing use | Practical distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 100 x W 100mm | Close approach beside or above call points | Around 1–3 metres |
What Should Improve Once This Sign Is Fitted
After installation, the sign should make the alarm point easier to recognise before panic sets in. People do not have to search for a small red button; they can see the fire symbol, read the message and understand where to press.
✅ Staff can locate the nearest manual call point faster during drills or real incidents.
✅ Visitors and contractors get clearer direction without needing prior site knowledge.
✅ Low-light visibility supports emergency action if mains lighting fails.

Fitting Guidance For Clear Call Point Identification
❌ Placement Errors That Slow People Down
- ❌ Do not fit it behind open doors, coat hooks or stacked equipment.
- ❌ Do not place it so far from the call point that people question what it refers to.
- ❌ Do not mount it too low where bins, trolleys or furniture can hide it.
❌ Situations Where This Format Is The Wrong Choice
- ❌ Do not rely on 100 x 100mm for long-distance recognition in large halls.
- ❌ Do not use polyester on dusty, damp or uneven surfaces without checking adhesion.
- ❌ Do not fit it where regular impact from cages or traffic will damage the face.
✅ Better Fixing Choices For Reliable Visibility
- ✅ Clean and dry the surface before fitting self-adhesive polyester.
- ✅ Position it directly in the natural line of sight as people approach the alarm.
- ✅ Check visibility during fire drills, low-light checks and routine inspections.
Xtra-Glo Fire Alarm Call Point Signs Questions Answered
What are Xtra-Glo Fire Alarm Call Point Signs used for? They identify the manual alarm button so you, your staff or visitors can find where to raise the alarm quickly during a fire emergency.
Should this sign go above or beside the call point? Fit it where it is immediately seen as someone approaches the call point. Above is often best where wall space is clear; beside it works well when height or fittings restrict placement.
Is the 100 x 100mm size suitable for every location? It suits close-range viewing beside call points. For long corridors, large open areas or distant viewing, you should consider a larger fire alarm sign format.
Why choose a photoluminescent version? The glow helps the sign remain visible if normal lighting fails or smoke makes the area harder to read, which can support quicker emergency action.
Can I use polyester instead of rigid plastic? Yes, use polyester for smooth, clean surfaces where self-adhesive fixing is suitable. Choose rigid plastic where you need a more durable sign that can be screw fixed.
