Aidalarm Wireless Disabled Toilet Alarm Kit
Summary
The Aidalarm Wireless Disabled Toilet Alarm Kits (A600WKITB and A600WKITM) provide a fully compliant emergency signalling system for disabled persons, meeting the requirements of BS8300 and the Disability Discrimination Act. These comprehensive kits deliver an effective, simple to install and easy to use solution for accessible toilet facilities.
Available in both battery-powered (A600WKITB) and mains-powered (A600WKITM) versions, the system utilizes wireless ISM band technology to avoid conflict with Part P building regulations. All remote devices are battery powered, with their status continuously monitored by the controller. Each kit comes pre-paired and ready for use, including a wireless controller, pull cord with reassurance LED, overdoor light and sounder, and reset button.
The system provides audible and visual signalling at both the call point and remote locations. When assistance is required, pulling the cord or pressing a call button generates an alarm at the toilet area and control panel. The call can be silenced at the controller, with reassurance bleeps continuing at the WC area. The system can only be reset using the button located at the point of call, ensuring proper response procedures are followed.
