Deaf Alerter Introduces its Latest Revolutionary Product
With over 100,000 building fires every year it is essential that safe evacuation is managed appropriately. Every public-access building needs to include disabled people in its emergency evacuation plan. Many disabled people should be able to reach the safety of a protected escape route or final exit independently. However, this is not always possible
A refuge area provides a temporarily safe space where disabled people can wait for others to help them evacuate. This can be quite a daunting prospect for people especially if they are alone and unaware if help in on the way. Deaf Alerter plc has designed an innovative communication system which will help overcome the sense of isolation and assist the rescue teams in locating the occupied refuge areas.
Deaf Alerter plc will be launching its new product Refuge Alerter® at the International Fire Expo in May. The unique two-way radio communication system has been developed to offer customers an alternative to restrictive and costly hard-wired solutions.
The Ofcom licensed RA1000 system provides wireless communication between the refuge outstations, fixed base station and handheld portable base stations. Therefore during an emergency, the system operator does not have to stay by the fixed base station to either send or receive refuge calls. Fire wardens, rescue teams or fire brigade personnel can also have portable voice communication with the fire control base station and any refuge outstation during the emergency.
Traditional hard-wired refuge communications systems require the base station to be continuously manned during an emergency, in many buildings; this would be inconvenient or impossible, as the person might need to be actively engaged in controlling the incident away from their desk.
Managing Director Steve Haseldine commented, “We are really excited about the addition of Refuge Alerter to our portfolio. Our research and design team are continually reviewing advances in technology to create practical, forward-thinking life safety products.”
The system can be configured to cover more than one building which is ideal for split sites, particularly multi-campus locations. Only one monitored connection to the fire alarm is required at the base station which enables minimum disruption and cost-effective installations.
The user-friendly refuge outstations are equipped with an induction loop and Braille to cater for those people with both physical and sensory disabilities. Refuge outstations automatically become live only during fire alarm activation or on manual activation from the fire control base station.
