This system has been connected to the fire alarm panel. The disabled refuge units ‘sleep’ until activated by the fire alarm panel (during an emergency) and are, therefore, in ‘standby’. This can be overridden by one of two ways:

1. Temporarily (for system testing, etc): Activate the fire panel interface.
2. Long term: Fit a jumper to J5 on the back of each remote (see image).

The act of of adding the BVOCNTO/M termination card to an Omnicare panel enables the addition of another loop where one may be required, for example in a stairwell or other area.

Alternatively, the card may add the ability to network to other panels on the system.

WITHOUT additional termination card (i.e. panel as supplied):

4-way panel (BVOC4M): One loop without networking ability

8-way panel (BVOC8M): One loop without networking ability

16-way panel (BVOC16M): One loop without networking ability

32-way (BVOC32): Two loops and panel networking ability

48-way (BVOC48): Three loops without networking ability, OR, two loops and panel networking ability

64-way (BVOC64):  Four loops and panel networking ability

80-way (BVOC80): Five loops and panel networking ability

96-way (BVOC96): Six loops and panel networking ability

112-way (BVOC112): Seven loops and panel networking ability

128-way (BVOC128): Eight loops and panel networking ability

WITH additional termination card (request when ordering panel – factory fitted):

4-way, 8-way, 16-way panel (BVOC4M/8M/16M)

• Two loops without networking ability, or
• One loop and panel networking ability
• (Termination card product code = BVOCNTOM)

48-way (BVOC48)

• Four loops without networking ability, or
• Three loops and panel networking ability
• (Termination card product code = BVOCNTO)

The system needs to be reset: switch the system off at the mains, disconnect the batteries, count to ten. Refit the batteries, switch on the mains power then press the reset button.

INTERNAL: The reset button is used for a variety of different operations, however, most of these activities are only performed when testing or commissioning the system.

The button is mounted internally to prevent accidental or inadvertent use.

(Refer to the image on right.)

PLEASE NOTE (EXTERNAL): On earlier control panels the reset button is located on the front panel, in between the ‘Processor Restart’ and ‘Handset Fault’ LEDs.

The button does not have an label but is identified by a black dot.

1. Check the power lead is connected firmly.
2. Check / replace fuses (two in the back of the unit).

If the ‘fuse fault’ remains lit: Repair or replace unit.

This depends on the loudspeaker load, i.e.:
20 x loudspeakers tapped at 5 Watts = 100 Watts. For voice alarm, the amplifier’s rated power output should be at least 20% greater than the initial design for the loudspeaker load. Therefore, in our example, 20 x 5 Watts = 100 Watts + 20% = 120 Watts (our BV125D 125 Watt amplifier would be required).

No, we offer a full maintenance and commissioning service for Baldwin Boxall products and systems only.

This is outlined in BS5839-8:2013, which should be referred to for full details of the testing and inspection necessary at each point:

• Weekly: testing should be carried out by a ‘responsible’ person
• Quarterly: battery assessment
• Bi-annually: detailed inspection and testing – including battery function.
• Annually: full testing and inspection – including sound pressure levels.

This is outlined in BS5839-9:2021, which should be referred to for full details of the testing and inspection necessary at each point:

• Weekly: operation and check by user.
• Monthly: battery/emergency generator check by user.
• Quarterly: batteries and connections assessed by competent battery installer/technician.
• Bi-annually: system function checks and testing, including batteries and indicators.

This is always possible, however, it tends to be costly. If this is something you are interested in please forward the details to our Sales Team and they will be happy to provide you with a quotation.

Any enquiries received will be redirected to our established network of distributors and key customers.
