These products and technologies include:
• Interior voice systems driven by the advanced
SIMPLEX ES fire alarm platform
• Addressable notification technology that enables targeted emergency message delivery.
SIMPLEX TrueAlert ES
• notification now includes the fire alarm industry’s first addressable speakers with individual
on/off control and high-quality audio output.
• The targeted audio paging capability enables the delivery of critical, event specific
information where it’s needed.
• For example, in the case of a small isolated
event, an individual speaker can be activated to deliver a message in that specific
area.
• In broader emergency situations, groups
of speakers can be used to deliver critical
evacuation instructions for specific parts
of the building based on the nature of the
emergency.
• The high-quality audio output provides improved intelligibility, helping ensure that
emergency messages are clearly heard
and understood by building occupants and
first responders.
• Exterior voice, visual notification and personal
notification. This component of a mass notification solution can include SIMPLEX TrueAlert
emergency visual messaging display units,
wireless audio visual emergency systems, and
exterior voice systems.
• Advanced LED appliances – compliant with the
latest NFPA code requirements for flash duration and strobe synchronization
• Integrated life-safety information management
that brings critical applications together, including fire alarm, voice, access control and video
• Notification appliance self-testing for increased
convenience, cost savings and operational continuity

Here are five key benefits associated with SIMPLEX TrueAlert ES addressable speakers:
1.Targeted Messaging for Enhanced Emergency Communications and Response:
• Addressable SIMPLEX TrueAlert ES speakers
have the capability to deliver audio messages
to specifically targeted areas within a building.
• As a result, the fire alarm panel can be programmed to select exactly which speakers are
to be used-and what message will be played on
them-during an emergency.
• This targeted audio paging capability enables
the delivery of critical, event-specific information exactly where it’s needed. For example, in
the case of a small isolated event, an individual
speaker can be activated to deliver a message
in that specific area.
• In broader emergency situations, groups of
speakers can be used to deliver evacuation
instructions for specific parts of the building,
based on the nature of the situation.
2. More System Design and Expansion Flexibility:
• SIMPLEX TrueAlert ES addressable speakers
are extremely flexible, providing easier, more
efficient design and faster, more cost-effective
installation. With conventional notification, the
wiring is restrictive and rather inflexible, making
it difficult to design systems that are efficient,
cost-effective and readily expandable.
• When laying out a system with addressable
devices, circuits can be designed to go further
with less wire. This gives engineers more freedom and makes it less likely that they will encounter design roadblocks.
• Put all of this together, and you get an addressable solution that’s flexible, reliable, cost-effective and highly scalable, enabling the system
to grow and expand as buildings change and
life-safety needs evolve.
