Epoc Nightstand Kit
£610.13 (inc VAT: £732.16)
Summary
The Scope EPOCBMVP is a complete nightstand fire alerting kit designed to ensure individuals who are hard of hearing receive reliable fire alarm notifications — including during sleep. Combining the EPOC-BLU (EPOCBLUM) critical alert communicator, an EPOC Nightstand base unit, and a pillow vibrator, the kit delivers multi-sensory alerts through visual, audible, and tactile channels simultaneously, providing redundant notification mechanisms for the highest possible reliability.
At the heart of the system is the EPOCBLUM — Scope’s advanced POCSAG communicator with added Bluetooth and GPS capability. When docked in the nightstand overnight, it triggers the nightstand’s high-intensity LED flasher, colour-backlit display, and pillow vibrator upon receiving a fire alarm signal from a compatible transmitter such as the Scope PageTek Pro MK2. During the day, the EPOCBLUM is removed from the dock and used as a portable pager, providing continuous fire safety coverage around the building.
The EPOCBLUM itself is a rugged, IP67-rated two-way communicator capable of transmitting SOS, Man-Down, and acknowledgement messages in addition to receiving alerts. With GPS for outdoor location tracking and Bluetooth for indoor geolocation via BLU beacons, it is equally well suited to lone worker safety applications beyond the fire alerting context. The kit operates on licence-free frequencies in the UK and requires no special radio licensing for installation.

FAQs
What does the Scope EPOCBMVP kit include?
The EPOCBMVP kit includes the EPOCBLUM critical alert communicator (with desktop charger), the EPOC Nightstand base unit, and a pillow vibrator with 2 m cable and locking connector.
Who is this kit designed for?
The kit is designed for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and may not be woken by a conventional audible fire alarm. It is suitable for use in residential care homes, hotels, B&Bs, HMOs, and any premises where accessible fire alerting is required for residents or staff with hearing difficulties.
How does the system alert the user during sleep?
When a fire alarm signal is received, the EPOC Nightstand activates three simultaneous alert mechanisms: a high-intensity LED flasher for a powerful visual warning, a colour-backlit display showing the fire alert message, and the pillow vibrator which provides a direct tactile alert to the sleeping user.
What transmitter is needed to send fire alarm signals to the kit?
The system is compatible with the Scope PageTek Pro MK2 transmitter, which connects to the fire alarm control panel and transmits signals wirelessly to the nightstand. Most other Scope transmitters are also compatible.
Can the EPOCBLUM pager be used away from the nightstand?
Yes. The EPOCBLUM is designed to be removed from the nightstand dock during the day for use as a portable alert communicator. This ensures the user receives fire alarm notifications wherever they are on site, not just at the bedside.
Does the EPOCBLUM have two-way communication capability?
Yes. Unlike a basic receive-only pager, the EPOCBLUM can transmit POCSAG messages — enabling SOS alerts, Man-Down notifications, and acknowledgement responses. It can send messages to other EPOCBLUM units or to Scope fixed receiver systems.
Does installing the system require a radio licence?
No. The EPOCBMVP kit operates on licence-free frequencies in the UK and does not require an Ofcom licence for installation or use.
What location capabilities does the EPOCBLUM offer?
The EPOCBLUM includes a GPS module for outdoor geolocation and a Bluetooth module for indoor location tracking when used with Scope BLU beacons (available separately). When the user sends an alert, their location can be automatically appended to the message, making it particularly useful for lone worker safety applications.
