Potter Electric Signal Co. Us RM-1000ECS Remote Microphone

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US RM-1000ECS is a remote microphone unit supplied with the SB-8 surface-mounted back box. It serves as a remote annunciator component in fire alarm and life safety communication systems. The RM-1000ECS allows a central operator or responding personnel to broadcast voice messages or tones to designated zones from a location remote to the main fire alarm control panel. Installation is typically performed by licensed fire alarm technicians following NFPA 72 requirements and local authority-having-jurisdiction guidelines.

The RM-1000ECS is intended for use in commercial and institutional fire alarm voice evacuation systems where distributed or secondary microphone access points are required. The included SB-8 back box provides a surface-mount enclosure for applications where flush mounting is not practical, making the unit suitable for corridors, stairwells, command stations, and security desks. This type of remote annunciator is a common component in hotels, hospitals, schools, and multi-story commercial buildings.
