The CP21-N Double Pole Break Glass Call Point is an emergency door release device designed for use with access control systems, door entry systems, intercoms, and electronic locking applications. Suitable for commercial, industrial, educational, healthcare, and public sector environments, it provides a reliable emergency override function to ensure safe egress during critical situations.
When activated by a user, the glass element is broken to trigger an emergency release signal, immediately overriding electronic locks and allowing doors to unlock. The double pole switching configuration provides additional flexibility for integration with access control systems, emergency release circuits, and security monitoring equipment. This helps support safe emergency egress when correctly installed as part of a compliant access control system.
Designed in a compact surface mount format, the CP21-N is easy to install and suitable for a wide range of internal emergency exit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CP21-N used for?
It is used as an emergency override device to release electronic locks during an emergency situation.
What does double pole mean?
A double pole switch provides two independent switching circuits, allowing additional flexibility when integrating with access control systems, monitoring equipment, or emergency release circuits.
How is the CP21-N activated?
It is activated by breaking the glass element, which triggers the emergency release signal. The glass will need to be replaced after each use.
Can it be used with magnetic locks?
Yes. The CP21-N can be used as an emergency door release device with magnetic locks (maglocks), electric strikes, and other compatible electronic locking systems. Its double pole configuration also allows additional flexibility for emergency release and monitoring circuits.
What is the Difference Between a Single Pole and Double Pole Break Glass Call Point?
A single pole break glass call point provides one switching circuit, while a double pole model such as the CP21-N provides two independent switching circuits. This allows additional flexibility when controlling a locking device and a separate monitoring, signalling, or emergency release circuit.
Is it surface mounted?
Yes, the CP21-N is designed for surface mount installation.
