Audio and Visual Notification is an Advanced Technology That’s Helping Take Safety in a New Direction

From flexible wiring architecture to self-testing capabilities, our marine solutions are easy to use and cost-effective.
Our full suite of technologies can be tailored to meet a wide variety of marine and naval applications.
Addressable field devices promote 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 ship builders and fitters 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 scheduled tests. 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. Passengers and crew on a vessel need to be alerted as early as possible, using alarm devices, so they can leave or be evacuated. 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 people, as part of its fire safety strategy.
