Type B and Type A outstations, when should they be used?
When choosing outstations for use with EVC systems we recommend referring to local regulations. In UK standards, for example, Type A outstations should be used for evacuation or fire fighting use and Type B should only be used where Type A outstations are impractical. For disabled refuges Type A or Type B Outstations can be used however Type B outstations can only be used where the background noise is below 40dBA.
Why must I have a disabled refuge emergency voice communication system?
Risk assessments of new buildings must make provision for means of escape of disabled people in line with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order. Building Regulations dictate new non-domestic buildings with 1+ stories provide 'refuge' areas - relatively safe places where people who cannot easily escape can call for assistance and wait for help. Simple two-way communication in these areas is essential, to assist rescue teams in determining where assistance is needed and to reassure people help is coming.
What is a fire telephone and what do they do during an emergency?
Fire telephones are hardwired full duplex communications systems with monitoring and battery backup and are required in buildings over 4 stories in many countries in the world. These are provided as a backup to traditional fireman's radio systems, which can fail to operate in many high rise environments due to a large amount of steel in the building, and the "corona" effect of fire on radio broadcasts.
