How SmartCommand Addressable Technology Works

SmartCommand addressable technology is much better than emergency communication. SmartCommand features addressable units of communication that are addressed separately based on where they are within the building. As soon as the user activates them, the system immediately knows what area of refuge and alerts emergency responders. 

This smart identification system guarantees that emergency personnel are appropriately informed of precisely which floor and section needs attention, cutting down response time by a factor of ten and emergency coordination in half. Daisy-chain wiring design offers the benefit that each call box is wired to the next one using simple-to-maneuver two-pair cabling for the entire system.

System Components & Detailed Features

The SmartCommand platform consists of three main components, each designed for code-compliant, reliable performance.

1.   System Core – BOSS 3400-128

SmartCommand BOSS 3400-128 is the intelligent command center, distributing power and directing communication around the system and providing complete system management. It features:

●     Capacity: Accommodates 1 to 128 call boxes in a daisy-chain arrangement
●     Communication: Two-pair cabling between Call Commander and BOSS units
●     Power System: 120 VAC primary power with internal battery backup
●     Monitoring: Sophisticated supervision relays and comprehensive fault detection
●     Installation: Wall-mount cabinet with clear LED status indicators

2.   Call Commanders (3200 Series)

Call Commanders are master control stations. They are the building's main communications hub, controlling all calls from Areas of Refuge linked across the building. It features:

●     Call Management: Notifies accurate call box location with visual and audio clues
●     Queue System: Will store several calls until previous calls are terminated
●     Mounting Options: Part of flush, surface, and desk-mount varieties
●     User Interface: Large LED display announces system status and call location
●     Communication: High-quality two-way hands-free audio communication

3.   Call Boxes (3300 Series)

Every Area of Refuge shall be equipped with hands-free, two-way emergency communication units (Call Boxes) on each floor above and/or below the main floor of exit. SmartCommand 3300 Series ensures better reliability and user-friendliness. It features:

●     Communication: Hands-free, clear two-way voice
●     Visual Indicators: Bright LED status lights to verify a call
●     Audible Alerts: Internal tone generators to verify a call
●     Smart Features: Programmable location messages by text-to-speech technology
●     Construction: Durable stainless steel construction for rigorous emergency applications
●     Installation: Flush mount, surface mount, and semi-flush mount designs

How SmartCommand Solves Most Problems

Traditional two-way comms systems tend to require home-run cabling, with each call box's cabling back to a central panel. That means more labor, material cost, and installation time.
SmartCommand addresses the problem with daisy-chain wiring, allowing call boxes to be wired in series. The result:

●     Reduced material cost (less cabling required)
●     Simplified installation planning (fewer runs, less conduit)
●     Installation is faster in new construction and retrofit situations.

Application Examples

SmartCommand Addressable Two-Way Communication System is ideally suited for:

●     High-rise office buildings
●     Multi-level medical facilities
●     School complexes (Universities, schools, and campuses)
●     Mega malls
●     Mixed-use projects
●     Airports and transportation terminals
●     Municipal and governmental structures

FAQs

Q1: How is SmartCommand different from typical two-way communication systems?
SmartCommand's addressable technology handles a maximum of 128 call boxes daisy-chained together, which greatly reduces the cost of cabling with precise location identification of calls. Other solutions require home-run wiring for every call box separately, greatly increasing the installation cost and complexity.

Q2: Can the SmartCommand system be expanded after it has been installed?
Yes, SmartCommand is future-proof. You can start with one call box and expand up to 128 call boxes without rewiring the system. This is perfect for phased construction or expanding buildings over time.

Q3: What building codes does SmartCommand meet?
The SmartCommand system completely complies with the IBC/IFC 2024 building code, NFPA 72® (2022), ADA, and UL 2525. Compliance in every way ensures your system will be inspection-ready and compliant with all the regulations.

Q4: How does the system function when the power fails?
SmartCommand has a built-in battery backup that maintains uninterrupted operation during power outages. The system supervision features trigger operators immediately upon detection of faults, and all emergency communications capabilities are fully operative for the duration of extended outages.

Q5: Does SmartCommand integrate with other building systems?
Yes. It can be developed to integrate with fire alarm systems, nurse call systems, and other life safety devices, as per project specifications.
