Emergency Assist Alarm Kit - EVCS-TA
The Emergency assist alarm kit has been specifically designed to integrate disabled call functions into the EVCS Network or EVCS
Compact ranges providing the perfect solution for conformity with the Building regulations Document M and Equality Act 2010.

The Emergency Assist Alarm Kit solution is fully monitored and battery backed by the EVCS system, saving local power supplies and
giving confidence in the system integrity.

The Emergency Assist Alarm Kit shows up as a call on the EVCS system, but has no speech path
so a conversation cannot be had with the occupant, use of the Type B Outstations would allow this.
