Lexicomm ViLX-IPA2 Weatherproof Type A Fire Telephone Handset

Summary

These are primarily for use by the fire services in high-rise buildings, to provide clear communications between the control point and the fire fighters, as radio systems may not work.

They are typically located in external fire fighting lift lobbies, but may also be used by fire wardens, or by stewards and marshals in sports venues. The handset is fully monitored and robustly constructed.

Suitability

The ViLX-IPA is a Type A outstation as defined in BS5839-9:2011, and is designed to be used by the trained staff (such as fire marshals and stewards) in outdoor environments.

Type A outstations should be placed in fire telephone locations as described in Building Regulations Approved Document B and BS9999:2017, or in stewards telephone locations as described in the FSADC deisign guide.
