Digital Audio Evacuation Enables Customizable Messages

Published: July 31, 2007

Louisville, Ky.-based Honeywell introduces the XLS3000 Digital Voice Command, a digital audio evacuation, paging and firefighter telephone system that integrates with XLS3000 fire alarm control panels for tailored notification and increased occupant safety during an emergency.

XLS-DVC allows multiple, distinct messages to be broadcast simultaneously through an entire facility or targeted areas using customized, recorded message phrases or the standard library of messages provided with the system. The XLS-DVC uses a distributed digital audio amplifier that includes a self-contained power supply, battery charger and local storage for standby messages in the event network communication is lost. The system uses nonproprietary .wav format audio files, and includes a self-diagnostic tool that automatically tracks the testing and inspection requirements of fire alarm devices.
