FIRE-CRYER® PROTECTS TEN PIN BOWLERS

Vimpex Ltd

28/09/2006

The Vimpex Mini Fire-Cryer® multi-message voice sounder has been installed as part of a voice evacuation upgrade at Exeter's bowling complex operated by Tenpin Limited. The Mini Fire-Cryer® incorporates all the advanced features of the Fire-Cryer® family housed in a low profile base sounder which mounts between the fire sensor and the ceiling.

Twenty-eight Minis were installed alongside Apollo sensors and a Kentec analogue addressable control panel supplied by Chubb Fire Systems. The Fire-Cryer® voice sounders and fire sensors were mounted together allowing a 4-core cable to be used for the loop and sounder circuits - further reducing installation costs. This combination proved to be a significantly less expensive solution than installing a full VA/PA system.

The Mini Fire-Cryers® provide automatic message switching via innovative software that differentiates between 1st and 2nd stage signals normally used to generate either pulsed alert or continuous evacuation tones on conventional sounders. Using these signals, the Mini Fire-Cryer® automatically broadcasts three messages with no user input. The Mini Fire-Cryer® generates a 1st stage 'Alert' message followed by an automatically generated 'Evacuate' message when the 2nd stage signal is activated. An 'All Clear' message is broadcast on the cancellation of the 1st stage 'Alert' alarm.

The unique multi-message Fire-Cryer® family has the most extensive range of voice sounders currently available within the industry - including the high-output Midi and Maxi units for harsh and noisy areas. Vimpex has developed an extensive standard multi-lingual message library, with the capability for additional bespoke application specific messages to ensure that every alarm is clear and unambiguous.
