Approved for emergency communications on all vessels instead of expensive sound powered telephones.

METS I - Emergency Telephones with two common talk lines with paging access The METS I design is based on an intercom style phone system with two common talk lines and vessel paging access. The METS I will double as a simple telephone or private intercom system for standard shipboard communication during ops normal as well as for all emergency communications whenever necessary.

All telephones at all locations within a METS I will function for both standard communication stations for daily activities during ops normal, or during emergency situations, all METS I telephones immediately function as emergency communication stations. It is also possible to add a dedicated private communication line between high traffic areas such as the pilot house and the engine room. General Alarm may be added to the METS I system with alarm activation contactors at one or more METS stations. This will provide a complete ops normal plus emergency communications and alarm system.
