Audio Evacuation System

An Audio Evacuation System (AES), sometimes called a Voice Evacuation System is a new type of fire/ emergency alarm system being used in public buildings. Instead of or in addition to a standard alarm sound, an AES uses vocal commands to give specific evacuation instructions, which can be customized. Additionally, many types of AES permit different audio messages to be played to different parts of a buliding, with specific evacuation instructions for that area.

AES systems are becoming required by many fire codes across America and the World, and can be easily intergrated into new and sometimes existing fire alarms.

Sample AES Messages

Attention, attention! The fire alarm system has been activated, do not panic. Please exit the building in a calm, orderly manner. Look for the nearest exit sign and leave the building quickly and quietly. Remain outside the building until further notice.
