MINERVA CelTEL Fire Telephone and Disabled Refuge System

The CelTEL Fire Telephone and Disabled Refuge System meets the requirements of BS5839 part 9 which specifies the operation of such systems. An Emergency Voice Communication System (EVCS) is defined as a fixed bidirectional full duplex secure communication system for use in emergencies, and covers the operation of both fire telephone systems and disabled refuge systems.

A disabled refuge is defined as a location for people who are mobility impaired who will impede the general egress from the building, or need assistance in leaving the building. This obviously includes wheelchair users who may have used the lift, but also covers the elderly, pregnant women over the 6 month term, people with arthritis, in fact anyone who cannot walk 200 metres without a break.

The CelTEL system presents an ideal opportunity for additional sales as the following premises normally require a Fire Telephone and Disabled Refuge System: Hotels, Shopping malls, Office blocks, Transport terminals, Sports stadia, Theatres/ cinemas and any premises with a phased evacuation procedure.

The CelTEL System comprises of a low cost, all-in-one, wall mounting controller which can handle 4 or 8 lines (expandable to 12 or 16 lines via an 8 line slave unit). Typically it would be located in a building’s control room (or in smaller applications at a fire services access point). It allows the management and/or the emergency services to communicate via a telephone style handset with the system’s outstations.
