Area of Rescue Assistance
In the situation of an emergency, an absolute priority is life safety. However general instructions for behavior and actions in certain cases are not applicable to everyone. For people with disabilities, for example, the problems of evacuating a building are a bigger concern.
This is one reason why, according to ADA regulations, areas of rescue assistance systems are required in every multi-story building, and have to be equipped with reliable two-way communication systems.
Lamarco Systems prefers Stentofon and Cornell as the acknowledged leaders in manufacturing emergency response systems. Hands free operation makes all of the stations and help points easy to use.
The latest Stantofon TCP/IP based systems are made of the highest quality and can sustain the toughest environments. Once they are in the “on” mode of operation, they work even if they haven’t been touched for years. With these systems, you get crystal clear voice signal that will guide people safely through when an emergency occurs.

A communication need
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) now being enforced, requires a Rescue Assistance System in all newly constructed multi story commercial buildings and public accommodations to provide means to request evacuation assistance in emergencies. The ADA also applies to significant renovations of existing multi-story facilities.
A reassuring solution
The cost effective solution is the CORNELL 4100 Rescue Assistance System, which communicates the need for evacuation assistance. It provides a reliable repeating tone and light signal at the central station and optional access to a telephone line. When the alarm is acknowledged, the caller is signaled visually and audibly that help is on the way. When the emergency is resolved, pressing the acknowledgment button a second time resets the zone. For additional safety, a line fault lamp will signal the central station if the wiring has been faulted.
Versatile and economical
The economical 4100 System, which is designed for nearly unlimited number of zones or floor locations, is ruggedly constructed of stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and emits a loud, clear tone that commands an immediate response. When the call station is activated the long-life LED indicator instantly identifies the zone of need. When the control sound signal is activated a light and sound signal informs the caller that the request has been heard.
Vandal proof design
CORNELL offers the optional Vandal Proof call stations. This design offers heavy-duty switches and speakers along with stainless steel plates and tamper-proof screws. The switches and speakers are water-resistant for exterior applications. These two gang plates also incorporate easy-touch lighted buttons for ease of call placement.
