They are functionally identical to their respective panels and have connectors on the front panels instead of buttons and indicators. Remote control panels and extensions are available as kits to customize panels. The fireman’s panel also includes an EMG microphone, fault and status indication and test mode. They are a major help in poor visibility and when the user is wearing protective gloves. The dedicated fireman’s panel has similar functionality to the remote control panels and now features large, illuminated buttons for all-call functionality. Up to two remote control panels can be employed, and a remote control panel extension is needed for each additional router. Full supervision of remote control panels and the controller connection is provided. The new remote control panels allow control from a distance of up to 1000 meters with connection through standard shielded CAT5 cabling and RJ45 connectors. Each panel duplicates the controls and indicators on the Plena central controller and routers (used in a multiple-zone application – up to 60 zones), including the built-in emergency microphone.

The remote control panel and, if required, remote control panel extensions, enable the Plena Voice Alarm System to be located in a fire-resistant cabinet or other secure location. The system now includes additional 19-inch remote control panels, a dedicated fireman’s panel, remote control kits for customized solutions and a new inductive-loop amplifier for hearing-aid user assistance in public address areas.
