Baldwin Boxall - OmniCare Fire Telephone

The fire telephone (Type A) outstation is one option of remote for the OmniCare loop-wired EVC system.

Fire telephones are used by fire officers and those responsible for the evacuation of a building during an emergency. They provide essential communication for those in control. When operated by opening the door of the enclosure, the person(s) managing the evacuation at the control panel can immediately see the location of the caller as this is indicated on the panel. The fire officer at the telephone point can relay the situation and confirm if that area is clear of personnel/public before moving to the next level/area.

The fire telephone is connected to the control panel in a loop circuit and can be included with disabled refuge outstations on the same panel, if these are required. As an option, the OmniCare system also has a combined outstation which includes both a fire telephone and a disabled refuge unit in the same enclosure.

Other outstations available include steward telephones and disabled toilet alarms.

OmniCare has been designed and built to meet BS9999, BS5839-9 and BS8300 (for the disabled toilet alarm).
