Multicom METS II Emergency Telephone

Architect Specifications

APPLICATION

METS II Multicom shipboard telephone plus an emergency common talk line.

The METS II combines the functionality of a generic digital shipboard telephone (for smaller systems) or Multicom shipboard telephone system (for larger systems) while adding Emergency Communications at only the stations and locations that are required. The METS II system utilizes a special Multicom METS telephone stations only in the required emergency locations. These special METS telephones have access to any shipboard telephone, but also have a private common talk line for emergencies.

A METS II system offers all the telephone communication features including paging and intercom capability required for ops normal usage. All METS emergency stations within the system have the ability to dial any phone on the vessel as well as a separate common talk line for emergency communication.

Wherever you would have placed a sound powered telephone in the past – you would instead utilize a METS Emergency Telephone. The other areas of the vessel, you would treat like a normal telephone system with either a feature telephone or a standard analog telephone. The system functions normally as an automatic dial telephone system for daily communication. If an emergency arises, the METS locations now act as your emergency telephone system, similar to the way the old sound powered telephones did.
