Voice Alarm Design: Don't be Alarmed

A guideline for designers on the use of VA-PA systems and how they are used in conjunction with an advanced fire detection system, incorporating requirements for BS 5839-8: 1998. CPD Service accredited.

This presentation is aimed at providing someone who is new to the task of providing a Voice Alarm system, an awareness of the requirements of the British Standard as well as identifying various product solutions available within the market today.
It provides some background research and explains the benefit of having Voice Alarm messages, as opposed to simple Alarm sounders. It will highlight some of the main difficulties in system design particularly paying attention to intelligibility, which is the key differentiator between good and bad design. It certainly provides any ‘would be’ designer with the basic background to VA and offers some additional advice on how someone could advance their knowledge on the subject.
It will also provide some ‘sound’ advice on what to consider when designing a system, identifying some of the problems and their solutions especially with regard to audibility and intelligibility. It will provide details of the most common product solutions including speech sounders, central rack and distributed amplifier systems that incorporate Public Address and Fireman’s microphones.
Certificates of completion are awarded to attendees completing the course.

Who should attend:
M&E Consultants, ENd Users, Architects or anyone involved in the process of providing or maintaining an advanced fire detection system in conjunction with VA-PA.

Duration:
1 hour
