Rath PNB-EPCO - Emergency Assistance Terminal for PNB Phone Networking
Rath - Avire PNB-EPCO Pnb Phone w/Plm And Rloc2.8 represents a hands-free emergency communication system intended for installation at the rear area of the panel inside the elevator. The current model comes with the built-in PLM card and powerful RLOC2.8 logic control system providing high security and reliability. As the product developed specifically for mounting as the small "PNB" module, it is designed for installation into the COP area behind the elevator car.
The unit represents a safe communications medium that uses the improved PNB board with superior supervision capabilities. In addition to the built-in PLM module providing the constant line monitoring, the product employs the powerful RLOC2.8 logic to operate the communications efficiently. The unit was specially designed for usage in the extreme environment inside the elevator hoistway providing a reliable voice communication system.

Functions
The module serves as a main element in implementing the two-way communications inside the elevator.
- Line Integrity Supervision: The built-in PLM module provides continuous dial tone supervision informing about failures.
- Emergency Call Routing: The four-number dialer connects the user with emergency contacts until the other party starts speaking.
- Local Connection Status Indication: The RLOC2.8 control informs about the connection status either indicating "call in progress" or "alarm received".
- Voice System for Location Identification: The built-in voice system helps the dispatcher to identify the elevator location.
