Summary
The Baldwin Boxall OCAFRP is a Type A fire telephone outstation designed for sites where reliable, hands-free emergency communication with the fire control room is a life-safety requirement. Its push-door design means a call is initiated the instant the door is opened, so there’s no fumbling for buttons when seconds count.

For you, that translates into straightforward compliance: it is designed to meet BS 5839-9:2021 and BS 8893:2024, so it slots into projects where these standards are called up without further justification needed. Loop or radial wiring gives you flexibility on cable topology, and because the unit is self-powered from the loop or radial itself, you’re not chasing a separate local power supply on site.
Full duplex speech and a local speaker mean the operator and caller can talk over each other naturally, which matters in a genuine emergency where clarity is everything. Add the T-coil in the handset for hearing aid compatibility and you’ve got a unit that covers accessibility as well as compliance.
Features
- Push door activation - a call is initiated automatically the moment the door is opened, removing any extra step for the caller
- Full duplex speech - operator and caller can speak simultaneously, so nothing gets lost in the exchange
- Local speaker - gives audible confirmation at the outstation that the call has connected
- T-coil in handset - supports callers using hearing aids without additional equipment
- Loop or radial wiring - fits into whatever cable topology the rest of the OmniCALL system uses
- Self-powered from loop or radial - no separate local power supply to run or fault-find
- Fully addressable - the control panel identifies exactly which outstation is calling
- Conference call facility - links up to four outstations plus the operator into one call for coordinated response
- Assistance alarm indication - shown separately at the master station so it’s not confused with a standard call
- Monitored external beacon option - adds a visual signal with fault monitoring where line of sight to the outstation is limited
- Luminescent labelling - stays visible in low light or smoky conditions
FAQ
The OCAFRP is designed to comply with BS 5839-9:2021 and BS 8893:2024, which cover emergency voice communication systems and fire telephones. Depending on the building type, the Building Regulations may impose additional requirements on siting or escape strategy, so these should be checked against the specific project with a fire risk assessor or building control. Yes, the OCAFRP is designed to operate on the OmniCALL loop or radial system, reporting back to the control panel as an individually identified outstation. Confirm loop capacity and any line card requirements with the master station documentation before adding outstations to an existing installation. The datasheet does not specify a particular cable type for the OCAFRP, so this should be confirmed against the OmniCALL installation manual and BS 5839-9 guidance on wiring for life safety systems. If in doubt, check with Baldwin Boxall or your system designer before specifying cable. No, the OCAFRP draws its power from the loop or radial circuit (15-36V, 30mA @ 24V) rather than holding its own battery. Standby power during a mains failure is provided by the OmniCALL control panel, so check the panel documentation for backup duration to confirm it meets your system requirements. Opening the push door initiates the call automatically, so there’s no separate button to press or switch to operate. This keeps the process simple for anyone using the outstation under pressure. Yes, the handset includes a T-coil, allowing callers with compatible hearing aids to pick up the audio directly without needing the handset speaker.Which British Standards apply to this fire telephone outstation?
