Analog Command Center System for 1-116 Call Boxes

The Command Center Two-Way Emergency Communication System is designed to provide efficient two-way, person-to-person voice communication for Area of Refuge, accommodating an impressive range of 1 to 116 Call Boxes. Utilizing a home run configuration with only one pair of wires needed between each Call Box and the head end. All components are crafted to meet current industry codes, ensuring top-tier reliability and compliance.

Efficient Wiring: Utilizing just one pair of wires between each Call Box & Distribution Module, the system ensures easy and cost-effective installation
Dedicated Communication: The system provides two-way person-to-person voice off-site communication capabilities utilizing only one dedicated phone line, enhancing efficiency
Safe & Secure: The Command Center System offers a robust and scalable solution for buildings requiring extensive two-way communication capabilities

Two-Way System Requirements

Systems shall provide communication in each required location with hands-free communication devices (2400 Series Call Boxes) and central control point or fire command center (Command Center Base Stations)

Emergency communication systems require 24/7 monitoring. If the central control point (Command Center Base Stations) is not a constantly attended location, the system shall have a timed automatic dial-out capability to an off-site monitoring or 911

All pathways between the remote call stations and the master control station shall be monitored for integrity. (360° Supervision)
Pathway survivability requirements state all circuits remain survivable (2 Hour Fire-Rated Cable) for at least the same time as the fire rating of the building

Primary/Secondary (Power Supply) must be monitored for the presence of voltage. Battery back-up power must be capable of operating on stand-by for 24 hours and subsequently for a period of 4 hours of system activation

Systems shall also include both audible and visible signals (Signage)

Command Center Power Supplies

Our range of power supplies for the Command Center system is designed to meet backup requirements as dictated by NFPA 72.
These power supplies ensure that your system remains operational for a minimum of 24 hours under quiescent load (when the system is in a non-alarm condition)
Following this period, they retain the capability to activate all alarm notification appliances used for evacuation or directing aid to the area of refuge, functioning for 60 minutes in total darkness
Tailored to support the Command Center’s analog configuration for up to 116 Call Boxes, these power supplies provide a robust and reliable solution, enhancing the safety and efficiency of your Area of Refuge system

Command Center 360° Supervision

NFPA 72 2016 360° Supervision requirements state that pathways between the remote call stations and the master control station shall be monitored for integrity. To meet these requirements:
Each 2400 Series Call Box, Command Center, and outside phone line connect directly into the RATH Supervisor Board (2500__-SPRVSR). The 2500-__SPRVSR has a Communications Failure relay output that can be connected to an addressable fire alarm module or fire control panel
If power supervision is needed, an additional purchase of the UPS Monitor (2500-UPSMONITOR), which includes a Power Failure relay output, is required.
