The EATON CFVCEA is an emergency assist alarm kit, no psu, a ready solution to signal a request for assistance in accessible toilets, bathrooms and hotel rooms. A simple 2-wire system designed for disabled users, used for further device sets with the 4-way indicator panel CFEASL4, where one CFEAPULLKIT provides the power supply.
In short
- Dual loop pull cord, high-contrast labels, blue indication.
- Over-door indicator with high-output blue LED and buzzer.
- Cancel plate with tactile braille.
- Quick installation with limited cabling.
How the system works
In normal state the PSU power LED is lit. Pulling the cord lights the pull cord unit, cancel unit and over-door indicator, and the indicator buzzer sounds. Reset by pressing the cancel button.

Technical data
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Model | CFVCEA |
| System | 2-wire |
| Mains | 3-core 1 mm² from a switched fused spur, 3 A |
| ELV wiring | 2-core 0.4 mm² min. |
The critical point: mounting heights
Upper pull between 800 and 1000 mm above floor, lower pull exactly 100 mm (cut the excess), and the cancel button reachable from the WC and a wheelchair.
General design notes
- The kit packaging indicates compliance with UK Approved Document M for accessible toilets; local project requirements govern.
- The over-door indicator must be seen and heard where staff are present; a central indicator panel may be added for large buildings.
- The cord must reach near the floor (100 mm) so someone who has fallen can pull it.
General engineering notes
These points are general principles from NFPA 72 and common design practice, not from the EATON datasheet. The final decision rests with the project’s approved designer per the adopted edition of the standard and the authority having jurisdiction.
Installation steps
- Surface mount the ceiling pull where it is reachable from the WC or bath.
- Mount the cancel button within reach, and the over-door indicator outside the door.
- Locate the PSU in the corridor fed from a 3 A switched fused spur, segregating ELV from mains wiring.
- Test a call and the cancel.
Common mistakes
- Leaving the lower pull higher than 100 mm.
- Mixing ELV and mains wiring.
- Placing the cancel out of wheelchair reach.
Inspection and maintenance
Test periodically by pulling the cord, checking light and buzzer, then cancelling; check the cord and labels.

FAQ
Is it linked to the fire alarm?
It is a stand-alone 2-wire assistance system, used with the CFEASL4 indicator panel for several rooms.
