Summary
The EPOCSNSUK EPOC-S Nightstand represents Scope Communications’ dedicated solution for ensuring fire safety accessibility for hard of hearing individuals. This innovative nightstand system provides comprehensive multi-sensory fire alerting capabilities specifically designed for bedside use, ensuring that critical fire alarm notifications reach those who may not hear conventional audible alarms during sleep or rest periods.
Engineered as part of Scope’s professional fire safety ecosystem, the EPOCSNSUK works in conjunction with the Scope Pillow Vibrator and Scope Pagetek Pro MK2 Transmitter to create a complete accessible fire alerting solution. The system combines visual, audible, and tactile notification methods to provide redundant alert mechanisms that ensure reliable emergency notification regardless of hearing capabilities.
The nightstand’s intelligent design features a removable EPOC responder that serves dual purposes – providing bedside fire alerting when docked in the nightstand base, and functioning as a portable personal safety device during daytime activities. This versatility ensures continuous fire safety protection both at home and when mobile, making it an essential accessibility solution for residential, care facility, and hospitality environments.
Pre-programmed specifically for nightstand operation, the EPOCSNSUK activates multiple alert mechanisms simultaneously upon receiving fire transmission signals. The hi-intensity white LED flasher provides powerful visual alerts, whilst the pillow vibrator delivers tactile notification directly to the user. Combined with the colour backlit display showing clear fire alert messages with red background indication, the system ensures that fire emergencies are communicated effectively through multiple sensory channels.

FAQ
How does the EPOCSNSUK alert hard of hearing individuals during a fire emergency?
The EPOCSNSUK provides multi-sensory alerts including a hi-intensity white LED flasher for visual notification, audible alarm, and a pillow vibrator for tactile alerts. Upon receiving a fire transmission, it simultaneously activates all alert mechanisms and displays a fire alert message with a red background on the colour display.
Can the EPOC responder be used away from the nightstand?
Yes, the EPOC responder is removable and can be used outside the nightstand for mobile operation during daytime activities. This provides continuous fire safety protection whether at the bedside or when moving around the premises.
What other equipment is needed for the system to work?
The EPOCSNSUK works in conjunction with the Scope Pillow Vibrator (included with 2m cable) and requires a Scope Pagetek Pro MK2 Transmitter to send fire alarm signals to the nightstand system.
How is the pillow vibrator connected to the nightstand?
The pillow vibrator comes with a 2-metre cable and locking connector that fits to the rear of the nightstand. The locking mechanism ensures a secure connection that won’t disconnect accidentally during use.
Does the system require a licence to operate in the UK?
No, the EPOCSNSUK operates on licence-free frequencies in the UK and does not require any special licensing for installation or operation.
How is the EPOC responder charged when docked in the nightstand?
