Omnicare is a loop wired addressable emergency voice communication system that allows disabled refuge, fire telephones, steward telephones and disabled toilet alarms to be connected to one panel. The control panel features an output for an external call indicator. This is designed for use in situations where the control panel is mounted in an unmanned area. Using this output, a remote indicator can be fitted in a location where it is visible/heard such as in a reception area. The output has a programmable delay feature so that call answered at the panel are not relayed to the remote lamp/buzer indicator.
