Portable induction loop at the BOI service desk - Accessible Court Model

Assistive system for the hearing impaired at the Customer Service Desk and in the Reading Room in the Courts in line with the study Model Accessible Court.

The Accessible Court Model study commissioned by the Ministry of Justice provides guidelines and recommendations on the accessibility of public buildings in the judiciary for people with disabilities, including people with hearing impairments.

The document defines 3 levels of accessibility achieved by a building.

With regard to the equipment of the Customer Service Office and the Reading Room, it is recommended to equip the BOI with induction loops, at least one device to make it easier for hearing-impaired persons to understand the employee.

In our offer you will find ready-made solutions for fulfilling the accessibility requirements of the BOI on level 1, 2 and 3.

Level 1 accessibility means minimum equipment as at least one portable induction loop or a public address intercom system to support hard of hearing people without a hearing aid with a T-coil.

The Contacta IL-PL20-2 portable induction loop is fully compliant with PN EN 60118-4:2015-6 and has advanced sound processing features: compressor, noise gate and AGC mechanism, so that the sound received in the hearing aid is very clear and always at the right volume level. The loop has a built-in rechargeable battery providing 4 hours of continuous operation and 48 hours in standby mode. The internal condenser microphone picks up the employee's voice perfectly, in special cases an external microphone can be attached.

Thanks to the ACG system, operation of the portable loop is very simple and comes down to setting the loop on the desk between the stakeholder and the BOI employee and switching it on. Even so, we provide comprehensive videos with a demonstration of all functions - so training a new employee will be quick and efficient.



The Contacta IL-PL20-2 portable induction loop can be supplemented with additional accessories such as:

• Contacta IL-PL26 shelf with wall-mounting components for easy storage and charging of the loop
• the Contacta IL-PL30 surface microphone, which can amplify the voice of personnel
• a loop receiver with Contacta IL-RX20 headphones that allows users to listen from the loop system as if they were wearing a hearing aid switched to the 'T' position. The receiver is also ideal for hearing-impaired people who do not wear a hearing aid, or whose hearing aid does not have a 'T' function.
