The VoCALL Type B digital outstation is designed to be versatile, compact and easy to use. These units are available as both flush or surface mounted. They have a high volume ringer, status LED and tactile Braille signage. They are compatible with all VoCALL digital systems.
Usually the interface between the refuge point and the main panel, Type B outstations are designed to be used in a fire situation and therefore should always be wired in fire-resistant cable (please check local installation codes for cable type).
Type B outstations should only be used where the background noise is below 40dBA (therefore there should be no sounder or voice alarm coverage in the area). For disabled refuges Type A or Type B outstations can be used.
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.
VoCALL suits all sizes of installation from one and two outstation systems in small shops like Bon Marche, to a massive 364 line dual network system at Westfield Shopping Centre in London’s White City.
Over the years VoCALL has been installed on several high profile projects in some of the world’s most prestigious sites, from Wimbledon AELTCC and St Pancras stations in the UK to the Marina Towers and Jumeirah Tunnel in the Middle East.
