FAQs

What's the difference between analog and addressable area of refuge systems?

SmartRescue, like other analog systems, uses regular wiring when you have 10 or fewer call boxes. If you've got a larger building, addressable systems can handle more call boxes and are more efficient with the wiring.

Which Base Station—SmartRescue 5 or 10—is better for me?

Just tally the floors that require Areas of Refuge. Use SmartRescue 5 for 5 or fewer call boxes, and SmartRescue 10 for 6 through 10 call boxes. Both systems are the same as far as call box features are concerned, but differ only in base station capacity.

Is it possible to install more than one call box design on a single system?

Yes. Multiple types of call boxes can be installed around a building, including flush-mount boxes for finished areas, surface-mount boxes for locations without walls, and weather-rated boxes for exterior Areas of Refuge. All 2100 Series call boxes support SmartRescue 5 and SmartRescue 10 base stations.

For how many hours is backup via batteries available in case of power outage?

SmartRescue's power system provides system operating capability for at least 24 hours in quiescent load (non-alarm) mode. During active emergency communication, battery life varies based on usage but ensures extended operation during typical emergencies. The system continuously monitors battery condition and alerts operators to any power system issues.
