How to choose a disabled refuge system
- Type A or Type B. BS 5839-9 defines Type A outstations as handset fire telephones, mainly for firefighters, and Type B outstations as hands-free units, normally fitted at disabled refuges. Many buildings need both.
- Number of lines. Choose a master panel with enough lines for every outstation, plus spare capacity for later additions.
- Radial or loop wiring. Radial systems run a cable to each outstation. Loop-wired systems connect outstations on a loop protected by short-circuit isolators. Outstations and back boxes must match the panel's wiring type.
- Location. Use weather-resistant or IP65 outstations for external or damp areas.

Disabled refuge system FAQs
What is a disabled refuge system?
It is an emergency voice communication system that links refuge points to a master panel, so people who cannot use the stairs can call for help and speak to building staff during an evacuation.
Which standard covers EVC systems?
BS 5839-9 is the code of practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of emergency voice communication systems.
Can I mix outstations from different manufacturers?
Generally no. Outstations, back boxes and panels should come from the same compatible range, so check the datasheet before ordering.
