5. Voice Alarm Systems

Overview

The Voice Alarm System (VAS) provides a voice evacuation subsystem for the
AFP-300/AFP-400 Fire Alarm Control Panel. Operating features include automatic
evacuation messages, local and fire fighter control of paging, and two-way
communications in an emergency situation. A paging microphone, a master telephone
handset and control unit, coupled with a fully electronic emergency message recorder,
ACS annunciator for speaker and fire phone control, and easy-to-use operator controls
provide the AFP-300/AFP-400 with a state-of-the-art emergency communications
subsystem.
