Audio and Visual Notification is an Advanced Technology That’s Helping Take Safety in a New Direction
Ease of Use
From flexible wiring architecture to self-testing capabilities, our solutions are easy to use and cost-effective.Comprehensive
Our full suite of technologies can be tailored to meet your needs.Addressable
Addressable devices means easier implementation, testing, and maintenance.Benefits of Notification
By using the most flexible wiring topography of any fire alarm system on the market, we offer architects and designers maximum coverage for minimum installation costs. The innovative Reflective Sound and Light Monitoring capability allows every device to self-test its sound pressure and lux outputs, and deliver a report at the panel on whether the unit has passed or failed the weekly test. This provides users with an audit trail to prove that not only have they discharged their responsibilities under current British Standards, but can also prove that each unit is working optimally.
Additional Benefits:
- Global addressability: Intelligent communications between initiating devices, notification appliances, and the control panel
- Fewer wires, more appliances per circuit, and fewer installation errors
- Appliances can be tested during installation for cost-efficient, on-the-spot problem resolution
- Enhanced survivability: Device-level ground faults are identified and isolated automatically
- Quick, unobtrusive testing of individual devices or an entire system
- Fast diagnostics and maintenance that lowers long-term cost of ownership
- All audio visual devices comply with EN54-23 in accordance with the needs of hearing impaired under the Equality Act 2010
How Visual Alarm Devices Enable Effective Lifesaving Evacuation
In the event of a fire, saving lives is always the highest priority. Occupants of a building need to be alerted as early as possible, using alarm devices, so they can leave or be evacuated from the premises. It is a mandatory requirement for sounders to be used as an integral part of the fire detection and alarm system, as they are considered the most important element of all alarm devices. Visual Alarm Devices are used to supplement sounders, providing an effective means of alerting, and evacuating occupants of the building, as part of its fire safety strategy.

Over recent years, the installation of Visual Alarm Devices (VADs) has experienced considerable growth since their mandatory introduction from 1st January 2014. This is in response to both the Equalities Act 2010 (UK only) and historical data which clearly demonstrates the effectiveness and reliability of VADs.
