ONYX ExitPoint by NOTIFIER of Northford, Conn., is a compact speaker that is capable of producing broadband noise for egress situations. Each unit is installed along egress routes and next to exits. Each ONYX ExitPoint device is triggered by the structural fire alarm control panel when a fire is detected. The generation of broadband white noise, also referred to as “directional sound,” is intended to draw the attention of occupants, assisting them in locating the nearest exit. It is a relatively new technology designed to draw attention above the audible fire alarm notification appliance. This helps lead people to safety despite the fact they cannot see the flashing strobes.
