Disabled Refuge & Fire Telephone Systems

Our SigTEL 4-224 line emergency voice communication system is ideal for use in all disabled refuge and fire telephone applications.

In disabled refuge applications, it allows people who cannot easily evacuate a building to communicate with a central control point during a fire emergency. In fire telephone applications, it allows building management, the emergency services and fire marshals to communicate with each other before, during and after a fire.

The system comprises a range of low-cost wall-mounting Controllers which can handle 4, 8 or 16 lines. For larger systems, an optional network communication card can be used to interlink up to 14 Controllers to increase line capacity to up to 224 lines. An easy to use desk controller is also available to simplify call handling on larger installations.

Ideal for hotels, shopping malls, office blocks, transport terminals, banks, sports stadiums, entertainment complexes, etc., SigTEL is fully monitored, extremely cost-effective and exceeds the requirements of BS 5839 part 9 when correctly installed.
