Rath - Avire SHW Master Station Desk/Wall Mount

Rath SHW - Safety Communications Desk Base for Master Control Center

Rath - Avire SHW Master Station Desk/Wall Mount is a rugged communications device engineered for lobby and/or machine room applications. The SHW can be used as the control panel for managing incoming calls in the JANUS® Call Director and EMS5 systems. Designed with versatility in mind, the SHW offers options for setting up either as a compact desk-set station or mounted on the wall.

What It Does

The SHW station provides instant voice access to all incoming emergency calls, alerting users to a particular incident with a tone and indicator lights. It eliminates confusion by showing which elevator cab made an emergency call and gives on-site personnel the means of connecting to the call, as well as making their own outbound calls. In essence, the SHW station provides hands-on control for both building evacuations and elevator maintenance purposes.
