Summary
The C-TEC BF370SC Protective Cover is a purpose-designed transparent polycarbonate cover that provides essential protection for SyCall fire alarm call points against accidental or malicious activation. In environments where false alarms can cause significant disruption, financial costs, or security concerns, this protective cover offers a simple yet effective solution to reduce unwanted activations while maintaining immediate access in genuine emergencies.
Designed specifically for use with C-TEC’s SyCall range of fire alarm call points, the BF370SC features a robust transparent construction that allows the call point to remain clearly visible at all times. This visibility ensures that building occupants can quickly locate fire alarm activation points during emergencies while the protective cover acts as a deterrent to casual tampering or accidental activation.
The protective cover is particularly valuable in high-traffic environments such as schools, leisure centres, shopping centres, entertainment venues, and sports facilities where the risk of accidental or malicious activation is elevated. By creating a physical barrier that requires deliberate action to access the call point, the BF370SC helps reduce false alarms while ensuring that the fire alarm system remains fully functional and accessible when genuinely needed.
Installation is straightforward, and the durable polycarbonate construction ensures long-lasting protection even in demanding environments. The cover is designed to complement the appearance of C-TEC’s SyCall fire alarm call points without obscuring their visibility or compromising their functionality, making it an ideal addition to fire safety systems where accidental activation prevention is a priority.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the BF370SC protective cover?
The BF370SC protective cover is designed to prevent accidental or malicious activation of fire alarm call points. It creates a physical barrier over the call point that requires deliberate action to access, reducing false alarms while ensuring the call point remains fully functional and accessible during genuine emergencies.
Which call points is the BF370SC compatible with?
The BF370SC protective cover is specifically designed for use with C-TEC’s SyCall range of fire alarm call points. It is engineered to fit these call points precisely, ensuring proper protection while maintaining visibility and accessibility.
Will the protective cover prevent genuine fire alarm activation?
No, the protective cover is designed to be easily accessible during genuine emergencies. While it creates a barrier against accidental or malicious activation, it can be quickly lifted or opened to access the call point when a real fire emergency occurs, ensuring it does not compromise fire safety.
Where should protective covers be installed?
Protective covers are particularly recommended in high-traffic environments where accidental or malicious activation is more likely, such as schools, colleges, leisure centres, shopping centres, sports facilities, entertainment venues, and public buildings. They are especially valuable in areas with young people, where curiosity or mischief might lead to false activations.
Why is the cover made from transparent material?
The transparent polycarbonate construction ensures that the fire alarm call point remains clearly visible at all times. This visibility is crucial for fire safety, as building occupants must be able to quickly locate and identify fire alarm activation points during emergencies. The transparency also acts as a visual deterrent while maintaining the recognisable appearance of the call point.
How does this cover help reduce false alarm costs?
False alarms can result in significant costs including fire brigade callout charges, business disruption, evacuation time, and potential fines in some jurisdictions. By preventing accidental or malicious activations, the BF370SC protective cover helps reduce the frequency of false alarms, thereby minimising these associated costs and disruptions.
Is the protective cover durable enough for demanding environments?
Yes, the BF370SC is constructed from robust polycarbonate material that is designed to withstand demanding environments including high-traffic areas and locations prone to vandalism. Polycarbonate is known for its excellent impact resistance and durability, making it ideal for protective applications in commercial and public buildings.
Does the protective cover require any maintenance?
The protective cover requires minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning with a soft cloth and mild detergent will keep the transparent cover clear and ensure the call point remains visible. Regular visual inspections should be conducted as part of routine fire system maintenance to ensure the cover remains securely in place and undamaged.
