Farenhyt Series Emergency Communication System

Be Ready
Will you be ready to respond when your building is hit with a life threatening emergency? Silent Knight is ready to provide the solution with our new Emergency Communication Systems (ECS). An ECS is designed to keep occupants informed of both fire and non-fire emergencies with real time information that will direct them to safety, whether that means to evacuate or go to a specific place of refuge. Silent Knight’s ECS series meets the UL 2572 and NFPA 72standards for Emergency Communication Systems.

Fire Alarm + ECS
Most experts recommend the use of a combined fire alarm and emergency communication system to leverage the robustness of the fire alarm system. Silent Knight’s long history of providing highly reliable voice-integrated systems continues with this new series of integrated fire alarm and emergency communication systems. We provide a solution for protecting people and property all in one package.

Risk Analysis
NFPA 72 Chapter 24 requires a thorough risk analysis to be conducted for each facility, and then used as the basis for development of the emergency response plan. The system designer needs to consider both fire and non-fi re emergencies in this analysis. New for the first time, the code allows priority of ECS messages over fire alarm evacuation messages if determined by the risk analysis. Silent Knight’s ECS controls allow the user to set an ECS message at a higher priority than the fire alarm message, enabling building owners to meet the latest NFPA72 2010 codes and UL 2572 standard.
