Description
Mircom’s Fire Fighter Telephones are designed to
operate in conjunction with Mircom’s QX-5000 Series
Emergency Zoned Audio System. These telephone
handsets are permanently installed throughout a
building to allow Fire Fighters easy communication
with the main control panel. The Fire Fighter telephone
stations provide a handset behind a locked door.
Equipped with a “break glass” feature, the unit can be
accessed by unlocking the door or breaking the glass
section. The door is clearly identifi ed with the words
“FIRE EMERGENCY TELEPHONE” using large white
lettering for easy identifi cation. The breakable glass
section clearly indicates “To open use key or break
glass” in order to access the unit.
In addition to the Fire Fighter telephone stations, Mircom
provides portable Fire Fighter telephone handsets
which plug-in to permanently installed telephone jacks
throughout the building. Plugging in the portable
handset allows the Fire Fighters to communicate
with the main control panel. As with the permanently
installed telephones, these portable handsets are
made from durable ABS plastic and come equipped
with a coiled cord and a male phone plug which plugs
into the Fire Fighters’ telephone jack. In addition, an
optional handset storage cabinet is available to store
up to six portable handsets. An optional fl ush trim ring
is available for the storage cabinet.
Operation
The Fire Fighter Telephone handset rests on a cradle
inside the enclosure. Lifting the remote handset from
the cradle causes a buzzer to sound and lights a
“Common Call” indicator or a zone indicator, if provided,
at the Emergency Voice Evacuation panel, while the
caller hears a steady tone indicating that a call is being
made.
The portable handsets plug-in to the Fire Fighters’
telephone jacks which are located throughout the
building. Plugging in a portable telephone handset
causes a buzzer to sound and lights a “Common
Call” indicator or a zone indicator, if provided, at the
Emergency Voice Evacuation panel, while the caller
hears a steady tone indicating that a call is being
made.
