The OmniCarePLUS Multi-Exchange EVC comprises a network
of BS5839-9 compliant "local" systems, each "local" system can

installation of much larger systems, upto 126 Local Control
points (each controlling upto 64 outstations) can be networked
together making it possible to connect upto a maximum of 8064

single mode) but must be Fire Rated, Enhanced cable configured
as a loop. All site cables and connections, including internal
