Suitability

The ViLX-OSC is a combined Type A and Type B outstation as defined in BS5839-9:2011, and can be used as a fire telephone or a disabled refuge call point. The Lexicomm outstations are designed for use by multi-disability users, having high contrast signage in line with RNIB guidelines and an induction loop coil (to BSEN60118-4) in the handset. ViLX-OSC outstations are mainly used when the disabled refuge area is located within the firefighting lift lobby, as described in BS9999 and Building Regulations Approved Document B, these locations should have a low background noise otherwise you may have to consider acoustic hoods.

Mounting the Outstation

The outstation should be mounted at a height of 1250mm from to the centre line of the outstation to the floor to comply with the requirements of Building Regulations Document M (Access for the Disabled). When flush mounting a cut out of 305mm by 155mm is recommended, the bezel slides over the box and is fixed on the wall using a suitable sealant or mastic As the outstation is also to be used as a refuge point, suitable space should be allowed so the system can be used by a parked wheelchair.
