The 6830-5A-4 is a fixed firefighters' telephone handset that activates audible and visible signals at the control panel the moment it's lifted, giving building staff and responding crews a direct line to the fire command center from corridors, lobbies, mechanical rooms, or stairways.

Built for the commercial fire installer

Four-state supervised wiring reports normal, active (off-hook), open, and short conditions back to the panel, so the riser is fully monitored even when no call is in progress. The push-to-talk button on this model gives the caller manual control of the transmit line. This is the handset assembly only - order a 6831-series frontplate and 6832-1D wallbox separately to complete the station.

Key features

  • Four-state supervised operation - reports normal, active, open, and short back to the panel
  • Push-to-talk button for manual transmit control
  • 60 in (1500 mm) coiled cord for reach at the mounting location
  • Red ABS plastic construction for fast visual ID in an emergency
  • UL and MEA listed

System requirements

Order a 6831-series frontplate (flush or surface, break glass or non-break glass) and a 6832-1D wallbox separately to complete the station. Wire per the four-state telephone riser diagram using jacketed, twisted, shielded pair, 14 to 22 AWG.

FAQs

Does this include the frontplate and wallbox?
No. This is the handset assembly only. Order a 6831-series frontplate and a 6832-1D wallbox separately to complete the station.
What does the push-to-talk button do?
It gives the caller manual control of the transmit line, common for stations where an operator prefers to key the microphone rather than stay open continuously.
What happens when the handset is lifted?
Lifting the handset (or plugging a portable handset into a wall jack) activates audible and visible signals at the control panel, alerting the operator to the call.
Is three-state or four-state wiring required?
This model supports four-state operation. Note that riser wiring polarity differs between three-state and four-state configurations - follow the four-state wiring diagram.
