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.
28 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, so reducing installation costs.
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.
It provides automatic message switching via 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, it automatically broadcasts three messages with no user input.
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.
