Lexicomm AssistCall Cancel Plate in Stainless Steel

FAQ

How does the cancel plate operate to reset an alarm?

When an assistance alarm is activated or acknowledged, pressing the button on the cancel plate will cancel the alarm. This provides clear confirmation that the emergency has been resolved and help is no longer required.

Where should cancel plates be positioned in accessible bedrooms?

Cancel plates should be mounted in accordance with Building Regulations Document M requirements. Typically, one cancel plate is positioned by the bed at a height accessible from bed or wheelchair, and another by the toilet area above the handrail at 1000mm height.

What makes the cancel button accessible for visually impaired users?

The cancel plate features a Braille enhanced button, making it fully accessible for visually impaired occupants. This ensures compliance with accessibility standards and allows all users to confidently operate the emergency system.

Can the cancel plate provide feedback when pressed?

Yes, the cancel plate includes both visual indication through the blue LED and audible confirmation via the high volume sounder, providing clear feedback that the alarm cancellation has been registered by the system.

What cable requirements are needed for the cancel plate?

The unit uses standard two core cable wiring including PVC or fire rated 2 core 1mm cable up to 500m distance, or Cat5/6 cable with 1 pair 0.22mm up to 50m distance. Fire rated cable is required if connected to a Refuge Point.

How many cancel plates can be connected together?

Multiple cancel plates can be wired in any order using the flexible wiring system. Each plate has two sets of two part terminals for daisy-chain connections. Refer to the AssistCall Installation Notes document for specific information about the maximum number of devices per line.
