The unit integrates Type A and Type B outstations plus assist call points through a single interface, allowing building operators to manage emergency and assistance communications from one central position. The large handset provides full duplex audio, meaning both parties can speak and listen simultaneously without push-to-talk delays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalled in building control rooms, reception desks and security stations, the master station handles incoming calls from up to four outstations or assist points at once, with visual indicators showing which line is active. The front panel displays eight numbered call positions with corresponding visual alerts, allowing operators to identify the location of an incoming call before answering. The system accepts backup battery power (BAT7, sold separately) to maintain operation during mains failure, meeting the power continuity requirements of BS5839-9:2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit measures 400mm wide by 350mm deep by 150mm high and weighs 4.2kg without the optional backup battery installed. The metal enclosure is designed for wall-mounting in plant rooms or behind reception desks where it remains accessible to trained operators but out of general public reach. The handset sits in a cradle on the left side of the front panel, with the numbered call indicators and function buttons arranged to the right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_B1M4_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_B1M248-FullManual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between Type A and Type B outstations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType A outstations are typically used in refuge areas and evacuation lifts, providing two-way communication for people who cannot use stairs during evacuation. Type B outstations are assistance call points in accessible WCs and changing rooms. This master station integrates both types on the same system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the backup battery included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The BAT7 backup battery is required for BS5839-9:2021 compliance but is sold separately. The master station has provision for the battery to be housed within the same enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many outstations can it manage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4-line configuration supports up to four simultaneous calls from outstations or assist points.

This is required by BS5839-9:2021 and contrasts with older simplex systems where only one party could speak at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45294247706891,"sku":"B1M4","price":998.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/B1M4_64f46765-a018-46e0-9204-37209493b5c2.jpg?v=1714670040","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/beacon-evcs-master-station-4-line-bs5839-9-2021-compliant","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
