PF24V(A) ExitPoint™
Directional Sounder with Voice Messaging
Audio/Visual Devices
General
The ExitPoint™ Directional Sounder has an integral audio amplifier that
produces a pulsating sound consisting of broadband low, mid, and high range
sounds. The broadband noise makes it possible to determine the location of the
sound. There are four pulse patterns that can be used to create an egress
pathway out of a building and to mark perimeter exits. In addition to the
broadband noise, the sounder is capable of playing an alert message in the
form of a recorded voice message or other audible signals. These messages will
instruct the occupants of what action to take as they approach the directional
sounder, and will allow them to react quickly and confidently when the sounder
is activated. Fifteen different language combinations are available to
instruct occupants that they are nearing an exit, a stairway up, a stairway
down, or an area of refuge. The directional sounder also incorporates an
optional disable feature for use in conjunction with a control module or heat
sensor.
The directional sounder features a number of field selectable power settings
including high, medium-high, medium-low, and low. Installation ease and
pleasing aesthetics are achieved by a low profile compact design, and by the
ability to flush mount in a 4” x 4” x 2¼” back-box.
ExitPoint directional sounders, fitted in addition to normal building
evacuation sounders, draw people to evacuation routes in both good and poor
visibility. The directional sounder can be used in a wide range of building
applications. Trials consistently have shown an improvement of up to 75
percent in evacuation times in smoke and up to 35 percent without smoke. The
2007 Edition of NFPA 72 now provides installation and maintenance guidelines
on directional sounders.
