Code Blue Z13083-37 360-Degree Audio Paging Retrofit Assembly

Overview

The Z13083-37 is a PoE-powered 360-degree audio paging retrofit assembly from Code Blue, finished in red for high-visibility emergency and mass-notification installs. It's built as a component kit for upgrading an existing pole, pedestal, or wall-mounted call station to full 360-degree paging coverage without replacing the entire unit. The IP68 rating means this assembly is rated for continuous submersion, not just rain and dust exposure — a relevant spec if the retrofit site sees flooding, pressure washing, or below-grade mounting, not just weather. Power and data run over a single PoE connection, so no separate low-voltage power run is needed at the retrofit location — one Cat5e/Cat6 drop handles both.

Compatibility

The Z13083-37 is listed as a custom/special-order component under Code Blue's paging hardware line. Evidence available for this SKU does not specify exact compatible call station or tower model numbers, so confirm fit against your existing Code Blue unit's part number before ordering — retrofit assemblies are typically matched to a specific station generation. If you're speccing a new install rather than a retrofit, review the broader Code Blue catalog for complete call station and paging tower options, or browse emergency communication systems for the full category.

Installation Notes

As a PoE device, the Z13083-37 draws power over the same Ethernet run carrying its audio/control data, simplifying conduit and cable planning versus separate AC and low-voltage runs. The IP68 housing supports outdoor and exposed-environment mounting; plan cable entry and termination to preserve that seal rating at the retrofit point. For broader network planning around PoE paging and camera hardware on the same switch infrastructure, see this PoE planning guide. Pair the retrofit with compatible PoE switches to confirm available port budget before deployment.
