AU-360 Series Voice Evacuation Control Panel Safe evacuation of occupants in a building experiencing a fire is critical. In most buildings, the occupants receive audible notification of the existence of a fire from bells or horns strategically placed throughout the facility. From general life experience, occupants recognize these signals as an indication of a fire alarm and proceed to evacuate the building. However, in certain occupancies, the consensus is that verbal instructions provide a more appropriate means for notifying occupants of a fire and instructing them to leave the facility. In these occupancies, the verbal instructions are provided by Emergency Voice/Alarm Signaling Systems that are interconnected to the building`s fire alarm system. Emergency Voice/Alarm Signaling Systems have been primarily utilized in high-rise commercial buildings or hotels. Various state and local building codes addressing fire and life safety issues are now requiring that emergency voice/alarm signaling systems be installed in areas of assembly occupancy, such as restaurants, movie theaters, playhouses, auditoriums, school gymnasiums, and churches. These are typically small areas located in larger buildings or are small stand-alone facilities.

Incident Reporting/Notification System (IR/NS)
SigCom`s Incident Reporting / Notification System (IR/NS) offers a fully integrated solution for wide area fire/ security and force protection. The IR/NS system provides a single backbone (Vision 21) that integrates SigCom`s alarm reporting and audio evacuation equipment with our wide area personnel notification equipment. The system meets the stringent requirements set forth for fire protection systems as well as the specific requirements set forth by the U.S. Military for security and force protection applications. The fully integrated approach reduces the incidence of complications associated with multiple independent systems. Alarm conditions from fire alarm panels, security alarm panels, gas or radiation monitoring sensors, manual activating devices etc., are transmitted by one of SigCom`s Alarm Transceivers. The transceiver sends the information back to SigCom`s Vision 21 System Processor, either by radio or fiber optic signal. The Vision 21 system processor displays and prints all alarm and incident information at a central command center. The information can be sent to an external computer aided dispatch software package, such as SigCom`s Rapid Response. The operator has the option to initiate transmission of command signals back to the transceivers. These commands can trip control remote operations, initiate prerecorded voice messages and/or tones, activate lights and strobes, initiate variable message signs, etc. INCIDENT REPORTING/NOTIFICATION SYSTEMS Vision 21DTX Series TransceiverSoftware PackageDVS Series Voice Evacuation Control Panel
