Voice Alarms

When the fire alarm needs verification by voice

Voice enhanced sounders have been developed to counteract the ever-increasing problem of audible alarms simply being ignored.

It helps to eliminate any confusion by combining the normal sounder signal with a clear and unambiguous voice message.

Typical examples of where a voice alarm might be installed include:

  • Shopping centres
  • Night-clubs, concert halls and places of public entertainment
  • Museums and galleries
  • Airports, railway stations and mass transit routes
  • Schools, colleges and universities
  • Commercial buildings and offices
  • Hospitals and healthcare centres.

Typical message configurations include:

  • Evacuate: "Fire, Fire, please leave the building"
  • Alert: "This is a fire alert, await further instructions"
  • Bomb Alert: "This is a security alert, keep away from windows"
  • Test: "This is a system test, no action required"
  • All Clear: "All clear, all clear, no further action required"
  • Panic Alarm: "Urgent assistance required in reception area"
  • Class Change: "This is a class change announcement.

Strobe units

The addition of a strobe unit addresses the increasing need for visual alarms to accompany voice messages in areas of high ambient noise levels or for installation in buildings in use by the deaf or hard of hearing.

Multilingual messaging

Multilingual voice sounders improve safety for everyone in many languages.
