The document summarizes the three internal communication systems on a new fireboat: 1) A Vingtor Stentofon IP-based integrated intercom, PA, and talkback system with master stations, main stations, and wireless handsets; 2) A Vingtor batteryless sound-powered telephone system; and 3) Long Beach Fire Department VHF handheld radios. The Vingtor Stentofon system uses an ACM-M-D rack to connect all communication inputs and distribute them throughout the vessel via IP stations that have audible/visual alerts and some have noise-cancelling headsets for semi-hands free use in high-noise areas.

1. HOMEWORK

2. INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
There are three Internal Communication System on the new fireboat
 1. Vingtor Stentofon ACM-M-D Ip based integrated general
purpose intercom-public address system.
 2. Vingtor Batteruless (Sound Powered) Telephone system
 3. Long Beach fire Department VHF Handitalkies

3. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communication
System
 This system is essentially an internal phone-intercom-PA-and talk-back speaker system
 It is programmable, extendable, and can receive input from off-ship communication sources such as: land-
line telephone, celular pone, satellite pone, fire station PA, fire dispatch, vessel security, vessel alarm and
monitoring
 System has two (2) Flush Mount IP Master Station with hand-sets in Wheel house; one at forward and one
at aft Wheel house consoles.
 There are four (4) Wall proof Main Stations through put vessel
 There are six (6) wáter proof main station in the machinery spaces and main deck work áreas. They are
equipped with talk back speakers and noise cancelling head-sets for semi-hands free communications in
high noise-high activity áreas.
 To further enhance hands free communications the are six (6) IP handsets with blue-tooth head sets

4. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communication
System
 Wheel House Consoles
 IP Flush Mount Master Station with Hand Set
 Forward and Aft Consoles

5. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communications System
Wall Mount Master Station
 Port Main Deck Entry (Top of Engine Room Ladder,
near Fire Control Station shown here)
 Multi Purpose Room
 EMS Room (Berthing Area)
 CIC (Radio Desk)

6. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communications
System
Waterproof Main Stations with semi-hands free
Head-Sets and talk Back Speakers, in weather
proof boxes on:
Main Deck Forward, Starboard
Main deck aft, port (At fueling station)
Equipment Room
Engine Room Sft, Port, (Above fuel transfer
pumps)
VSP Room, Starboard of Centerline Bulkhead
Aft Hold (Foam Room)

7. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communication
Systems
The IP Phone System Main
Stations in the Machinery
Spaces and on the Main Deck
have an audible alarm, and
flashing blue strobe to alert
you to an incoming call

8. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communication
Systems
 There are six (6) Wireless Hand With
Blue Tooth Headsets
 Can be used for “Hands free”
communication throughout vessel
 Can call out or receive callsfrom any
the Main Stations, Master Station or
other Wireless Hand Sets
 Repeater located in CLIC overhead

9. Vingtor Stentofon IP Communication
Systems
 ACM-M-D System Rack
 Under Ladder well in Multilpurpose
Room
 “Brains” of the entire IP
Communications System
 This is where software changes,
upgrades, system configuration, and
communication inputs connect to
the system
 Note: The ACM-M-D oprate with 24
Volt AC

10. Vingtor Batteryless Telephone System
(Sound Powered Telephone)
Four Sound Powered Phone
Stations:
 Wheelhouse (Starboard side of
radio box)
 Engine Room, Aft, Port (Above
fuel oil transfer pump)
 VSP Room
 Aft hold (Foam Room)
