Sigtel Disabled Refuge Alarm and Communication System
The Sigtel Disabled refuge system offers a simple communication system to refuge areas within buildings that meet the standards set out within BS 5839 Part 9. The system comprises a main panel that would be located within a lobby or marshalling area and outstations within the disabled refuge areas within the building. The main panel can handle up to 8 outstation but can be expanded to 16 using a repeater unit. This is the system pictured above as the compact disabled refuge system.
If you have a larger installation there is a more advanced system that can take up to 128 Outstations.. This comes with a desk control unit for communication with the remote outstations.
Usage Of the Disabled Refuge System
In the event of a fire, or other emergency, staff evacuate wheelchair-restricted customers to a designated place of safety (Refuge Area). Staff then activate the Refuge Area Remote Unit, which lights a Refuge Occupied indicator on the main Control Panel. The Fire Officer (or Building Manager) is able to communicate with the occupants of the refuge areas, either on an individual basis or by using the ‘all-call’ option.
Each activated disabled refuge system has an auto listening facility to monitor activity in the Refuge Area. As each disabled person is moved to safety, the system can be reset via a key operated switch on the Refuge Area Remote Unit.
