Area of refuge requirements

[Ragin Cajun]

Have a project designing a 4 story apartment building with "area of refuge"
What do you use for the "Two-way communication system" requirement?
Thanks,
RC

Typically its like a pushbutton speaker/call box and/or an old school wired handset. Refer to some examples here, and try to find a local vendor to spec/purchase the proper devices for your jurisdiction. If I'm not mistaken, this is a DOB requirement, not NEC.

Not sure if you're installing or designing but this should be a good start.

Frequently they are part of the fire alarm system using warden phones.
