Area of Refuge Surface Mount
Command Center Cabinet
Each Area of Refuge is required to have a
central control point (Command Center)
where the emergency phones call for assistance.
In low rise buildings (less than 60 ft. tall) the
Command Center can simply be a telephone
mounted in a cabinet located on the ground
floor of the elevator lobby. The VE-ARSW
cabinet is ideal for this application, allowing
you to mount a single line phone or PABX
Key phone.
The VE-ARSW is a 13” x 13.5” x 4” surface
mount metal cabinet with a hinged door,
roller catch, chrome handle, phone mounting
studs and optional lock. The lock is equipped
with a breakaway cam allowing emergency
personnel to force the door open if the key
cannot be found.
