The unit provides two-way duplex audio communication between a refuge point and a central control station, with a large green 'Call Cancel' button, directional arrow graphics, integrated speaker grille, and LED call status indicator on a green polycarbonate faceplate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for stairwell refuge areas, protected lobbies and evacuation lifts in multi-storey residential, commercial and healthcare buildings, the outstation allows mobility-impaired occupants to request assistance during an evacuation and maintain voice contact with building control or fire wardens. The hands-free operation means no handset to lift or hold — pressing the call button initiates the voice link, and the high-volume ringer alerts the user when control responds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 180mm x 110mm faceplate fits either flush or surface mount on a standard 2-gang UK back box (sold separately). The green polycarbonate construction resists impact and wear in high-traffic areas, and the contrasting white graphics provide clear visual cueing under emergency lighting conditions. The LED call status indicator gives immediate feedback when a call is active, answered, or cancelled.\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\u003e0.18\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.22\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30\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_B1TB_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_B1TB-Instructions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a Type B disabled refuge outstation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Type B outstation provides two-way duplex audio communication between a refuge point and a central control or master station.
