Summary
The Baldwin Boxall OCCPLS is a 128-way emergency voice communication (EVC) master station, built to run disabled refuge points, fire telephones, emergency/steward telephones and assistance alarms from a single control panel. If you’re specifying or fitting out a high-rise, stadium or large commercial building, this gives you one system to install and commission instead of several separate ones.

That consolidation saves time on site and simplifies handover, since every outstation type shows up on the same 5-inch TFT display with its own icon, active call list and fault log. The panel is designed to meet BS 8893:2024 and is also designed for BS 5839-9 compliance, which matters when you’re signing off a disabled refuge or fire telephone installation against these standards.
It ships fitted with one line card, giving you a working loop straight out of the box, and can be expanded by fitting three additional line cards to reach the full 128 outstations across four loops. Loop and radial wiring can be mixed freely on the same system using 2-core, non-polarity cabling, so you can match the wiring topology to whatever the building layout demands.
Features
- Loop and radial wiring – mix both topologies on one system so you can route around awkward building layouts without swapping outstation types
- 2-core non-polarity cabling – fewer wiring errors on site since polarity doesn’t need checking during installation
- Expandable to four loops – fit three additional line cards to grow from one loop up to the full 128 outstations, or run 16 radials instead
- 5-inch full colour TFT display – customisable outstation layout, active call list and live faults view from one screen
- Self-describing faults with logging – time and date stamped activity and fault logs speed up diagnostics and support compliance records
- Two lines of free text per outstation – label each point clearly so engineers can identify calls fast during an incident
- Separate assistance alarm indication – disabled toilet alarms wire direct to outstations and address independently from other outstation types
- Conference calling – up to 4-way conference calls on Type A/C outstations plus the operator
- Paging option – broadcast to the loudspeakers of all occupied refuge outstations and telephones
- Networkable via copper or fibre – link multiple master stations together on larger or multi-building sites
FAQ
Yes. The same outstation type is used whether it’s wired into a loop or a radial, so both wiring methods can be combined on one system to suit the building layout. This is useful where a small extension or plant room is easier to wire as a radial off a larger loop run. The OCCPLS is supplied with one line card fitted, giving a working loop of up to 32 outstations. Fitting three additional line cards expands the system to its full capacity of 128 outstations plus 128 assistance alarms, distributed across up to four loops or a mix of loops and radials. Baldwin Boxall specifies 2-core, non-polarity-dependent cabling for both loop and radial wiring. Whether this needs to be fire-rated cable, and to what standard, depends on the specific installation and how it’s assessed against BS 5839-9, so this should be confirmed with the system designer or Baldwin Boxall’s installation documentation. The OCCPLS is designed to meet BS 8893:2024 and to support BS 5839-9 compliance for emergency voice communication (EVC) systems used by people with disabilities. Wider considerations such as BS 9999 or Building Regulations relate to the overall fire strategy for the building rather than the panel itself, so these should be checked against the specific project by the fire risk assessor or building control. Yes. Assistance alarms, including toilet alarm circuits, connect directly to the outstations rather than needing a separate control system, and each is addressed individually. They also get their own indication on the master station’s 5-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) display, separate from refuge outstation calls, so one OCCPLS can manage both without a second panel. A single loop can run up to 1.4km carrying up to 32 outstations, with no fixed distance limit between individual outstations on that loop. A radial shares a maximum of 1.4km between up to 4 outstations, and once a loop or radial reaches these limits, an additional line card is needed to extend capacity further.Can I mix loop and radial wiring on the same OCCPLS system?
