Summary
The EPOCSVIB Scope Pillow Vibrator represents a critical accessibility component in Scope Communications’ comprehensive fire safety solution for hard of hearing individuals. This specialised tactile alerting device provides essential vibration-based emergency notifications that ensure fire alarm signals reach users who may not respond to conventional audible or visual alerts alone, particularly during sleep periods when hearing aids may be removed.
Designed specifically for integration with the EPOC-S Nightstand system, the EPOCSVIB delivers powerful tactile alerts directly through bedding and pillows, creating an unmistakable physical sensation that awakens and alerts users to fire emergencies. The device’s compact, discreet design allows for unobtrusive placement under pillows or mattresses whilst maintaining the strong vibration output necessary for reliable emergency notification.
The EPOCSVIB features a 2-metre cable with a secure locking connector, ensuring reliable connection to the nightstand base unit whilst providing sufficient reach for flexible bedside placement. The locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection during use, maintaining the critical safety link between the fire detection system and the user’s immediate sleeping environment.
As part of Scope’s professional fire safety ecosystem, the EPOCSVIB works seamlessly with the EPOC-S Nightstand and Pagetek Pro MK2 Transmitter to create a comprehensive multi-sensory alerting solution. This integration ensures that hard of hearing individuals receive the same level of fire safety protection as the general population, supporting accessibility compliance and inclusive safety design in residential, care facility, and hospitality environments.

FAQ
How does the EPOCSVIB pillow vibrator alert users during a fire emergency?
The EPOCSVIB provides powerful tactile vibration alerts that are felt through pillows, mattresses, or bedding. When the EPOC-S Nightstand receives a fire signal, it immediately activates the pillow vibrator to create strong physical vibrations that wake and alert hard of hearing users to the emergency.
Where should the EPOCSVIB be positioned for optimal effectiveness?
The vibrator should be placed under the pillow, beneath the mattress, or within the bedding where it can effectively transmit vibrations to the sleeping user. The 2-metre cable provides flexibility for optimal positioning whilst maintaining connection to the nightstand base unit.
How does the locking connector work and why is it important?
The locking connector ensures a secure connection between the EPOCSVIB and the EPOC-S Nightstand that cannot be accidentally disconnected during normal use. This is critical for maintaining the safety link, as any disconnection could prevent life-saving alerts from reaching the user during an emergency.
Is the EPOCSVIB compatible with other fire alarm systems?
The EPOCSVIB is specifically designed to work with the Scope EPOC-S Nightstand system and Pagetek Pro MK2 Transmitter. It forms part of Scope’s integrated fire safety solution and may not be compatible with other manufacturers’ systems.
Can multiple EPOCSVIB units be used in the same room?
The system is designed with one EPOCSVIB per EPOC-S Nightstand base unit. For multiple bed situations or larger rooms, multiple complete nightstand systems would be required rather than additional standalone vibrators.
How strong are the vibrations and will they disturb others?
The EPOCSVIB is designed to provide strong enough vibrations to reliably wake hard of hearing users during emergencies, whilst being discreet enough for normal bedside use. The vibrations are localised to the immediate sleeping area and typically won’t significantly disturb others in the same room.
Does the EPOCSVIB require any maintenance or testing?
The EPOCSVIB is designed for maintenance-free operation. However, it’s recommended to periodically test the complete fire alerting system including the vibrator function to ensure proper operation. The secure connection should also be checked occasionally.
What environments is the EPOCSVIB suitable for?
The EPOCSVIB is suitable for residential homes, care facilities, hospitals, hotels, and any sleeping environment where hard of hearing individuals require accessible fire alerting. It’s particularly valuable for bedrooms where conventional fire alarms may not be effective for hearing impaired users.
