FAQs

When should I choose Command Center instead of the SmartCommand addressable system?

Analog home-run wiring is employed by Command Center, with each call box hard-wired directly to the base station. Daisy-chain addressable wiring is employed by SmartCommand. The technologies can both be applied to buildings that require 11-116 call boxes. Utilize analog Command Center if you like established technology with simple troubleshooting, or addressable SmartCommand if daisy-chain wiring reduces installation expense in your specific building design.

How do I determine what Command Center capacity I need?

Determine how many Areas of Refuge there are in your building (usually one on each floor of the main exit's upper and lower levels).  To account for growth, add 10–20%.  Use the 2500-36RC base station for 28 call boxes.

Can I expand my Command Center system after the initial setup?

Yes, as the Command Center is modular in design, extra capacity can be increased by installing distribution modules into base stations. However, plan your initial capacity carefully because expansion entails more wiring facilities and equipment.

How are the 24-hour backup and 60-minute emergency power different?

Power supply by Command Center offers 24 hours of routine system operation during a power outage. Then it automatically enters emergency mode, which gives 60 minutes of power to emergency lighting and alarm notification devices only.
