ALARM SOLUTION
June 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 the general fire/evacuation alarm and the life critical acid spill/extractor fan failure alarms.

Vimpex supplied a combination of standard, Midi and Maxi Fire-Cryers in a special 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 the different environments around the site, including the high output Midi and Maxi units for noisy areas.

The device can be retrofitted easily onto existing 2-wire conventional alarm sounder circuits, adding four-message capability to any fire/evacuation system.
