VIGIL AssureCare
Product Description
VIGIL AssureCare is a sophisticated emergency call-point system, which has been developed in accordance
with BS5839 part 9 and BS5588. The system is a fully monitored and battery-backed communication network,
and has capabilities to function as a Disabled Refuge System, Emergency Help Point System or a simple Call
Point System.
The system has two main components: the Main Control Panel and the Call Point Remote Units. The Main
Control Panel is available in eight options: 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112 or 128 way. The panel is normally wall
mounted within a permanently manned main Control Room. There are two versions of Call Point Remote Units
available (red or in stainless steel), which are wall-mounted in areas of risk, such as stairwells, corridors and
‘gathering’ areas.
In an emergency situation, personnel can press the Call button on a Call Point Remote Unit to call and speak
with a Fire Officer or Building Manager. The Fire Officer or Building Manager uses a press to talk telephone
handset at their dedicated Control Panel(s) to control the half-duplex communication with Call Points on an
‘all-call’ or individual basis to relay instructions or to provide reassurance.
Slave Control Panels can be added to the system for control of local zones of Call Point Remote Units (e.g. in
a stairwell), and repeater units are available to extend the cabling distance between the Remote Units.
