Conclusion: EFE Elektronik offers a wide range of customizable communication and safety solutions for penal systems, backed by decades of experience and adherence to international standards.
Specifications: The document outlines the requirements for a call and communication system in detention facilities. It emphasizes the need for the system to remain operational during central equipment or wiring failures, be vandal-proof, and maintain security even if prisoners obtain tools. The system must not share transmission paths with other systems unless coordinated, and malfunctions in external systems should not affect it. Calls and alarms must be indicated within 5 seconds, and devices must be monitored every 30 seconds. The power supply should be from a UPS with a maximum outage time of 15 seconds.
Procedures: The system should support two-way or one-way communication, authorized eavesdropping, radio reception, and various alarms (e.g., time, window, lamp, fire). It should allow for centralized and localized operation, alarm acknowledgment, and cancellation. The system must manage prisoner data and integrate with other security systems like video surveillance.
Standards and Regulations: The system must comply with DIN VDE 0100, 0107, 0834, EN 61000-6-3, 61000-6-2, DIN EN 60950, and DIN EN 793. Compliance with these standards is necessary for CE marking in Europe. The regulations of each German federal state must also be considered.
System Features: The EFE cell call system is centralized/localized, easy to install, and maintain. It uses autonomous microprocessor-controlled devices connected in bus or star topology. Each unit has an independent microcomputer, ensuring full functionality. The system uses bright LEDs, has short circuit protection, and continuous self-monitoring. It can store terminal status for over 15 minutes during power failures.
Functions: Presence indication is shown with a green light, and alarms cannot be disabled remotely unless an officer's presence is registered. Cell calls trigger a red light and audible signals. WC calls are triggered by a cord pull switch. Officer search alarms are triggered if presence exceeds a time limit. Window, lamp, and fire alarms are indicated by flashing red lights and audible signals, and can be acknowledged via voice connection from master stations.
Alarm Systems: Fire alarms can be acknowledged via voice connection from the master station, reactivated from the cell terminal, and cancelled from the presence switch. Sabotage alarms are triggered by contact opening in a monitoring circuit, indicated by a flashing red light and audible signal until acknowledged. Detection alarms are triggered by mobile phone detection systems, indicated by flashing red light and audible signal.
Lock Systems: Lock status indication monitors door bolt status and transfers data to master stations. Lock monitoring is initiated from master stations, stores lock status, and triggers alarms if doors are unlocked. Bolt control monitors door bolt and position, generates output pulse for locking, and can be used in two-stage entry systems. Lock alarms are silent alarms indicated on corridor display and master station.
Fault and Failure Indications: Fault indications are triggered by bias current monitoring, indicated by constant red light and audible signal. Failure indications are global zone failures indicated by audible signal.
Denial Functions: Denial of calls can be done from specific cells if abused. Denial of broadcasting and light is possible on a cell-by-cell basis.
Communication and Announcements: Intercom allows voice connections with cells, with one-way or two-way communication possible. Announcements can be made from master stations with various coverage options. Forced override allows external announcements with higher priority.

CHARACTERISTICS Prisoners in places of detention have restricted freedom of movement and are locked into a small space for long periods. Obviously, forcing people with widely differing educational histories and personalities to live together under these conditions often creates social tensions, with an ever-present risk of physical and mental aggression towards others, towards themselves or towards the facilities. The prisoners face these risks, but also officers whose job is to supervise and support them. There is a special duty of care, which means that the prisoner’s recreation areas and the...

As the technology in places of detention, court houses, forensic clinics and police buildings becomes more heterogeneous, individual officers are faced with a bewildering array of systems to operate and monitor. Keyboards, monitors and intercom devices can start taking over the workplace - for video surveillance, fire alarms, perimeter security, two-stage entry systems, cell management and much more. Each system presents a different picture of the prison, with manufacturers changing their interpretation to suit their particular application. Building management or alarm management systems try...
