Description

The Crisis Type A Red Fire Telephone is an Emergency Voice Communication System (EVCS) outstation, designed and manufactured in the UK to be fully compliant with BS5839-9:2021. It can function as a fire telephone system (FT), a disabled refuge system (DRS), or a combined unit within an EVCS.

An EVCS provides a fixed, secure, bi-directional, full duplex voice communication system, crucial for assisting firefighters in emergencies within high-rise buildings or large sites where standard radio communications might be compromised by interference.

These Type A outstations are typically installed on or near protected stairwells and at fire and rescue service access points, facilitating direct communication with a central command point. They are also suitable for use by fire wardens, stewards, and marshals in various venues. Designed for multi-disability users, the unit incorporates high contrast signage adhering to RNIB guidelines and features an induction loop coil (telecoil) within the handset for the hearing impaired, alongside a high-volume ringer.

The telephone is supplied in a robust red steel enclosure, allowing for either surface or semi-recessed mounting. Operation is initiated by simply lifting the ruggedised handset, which is kept secure by a magnetic push catch. An integrated LED and ringer indicate incoming calls.

Weighing 2.4kg and measuring 150mm x 300mm x 105mm, the Crisis Type A Red Fire Telephone is compatible with both Crisis standalone and network EVCS systems.
