SOUNDER ENHANCES SAFETY
July 1st 2004

The Fire-Cryer multi-message voice sounder from Vimpex has been used in the Rolls Royce Barnoldswick factory to solve a critical alarm problem.

A solution was needed that would allow staff to differentiate between a general fire and evacuation alarm and life critical acid spill/extractor fan failure alarms.

Vimpex supplied a combination of standard, Mid and Maxi Fire-Cryers in a hi-visibility yellow finish. This allowed a fully switchable four-message system to be interfaced with the existing sounder loops on site.

The Fire-Cryer family provides Rolls Royce with a choice of models to suit different environments around the site. The system can be retrofitted easily

onto existing 2-wire alarm sounder circuits.
