INTRODUCTION
The FSP500 Sitewarden Fire and First-Aid Site Alarm is a battery-
powered, wireless critical alert system designed for maximum
portability and ease of installation. Each unit can be paired with up
to 63 additional units to create a comprehensive, site-wide alert
network.
When activated, the FSP500 delivers up to 10 watts of high-quality
audio annunciation, complemented by bright, strobing LEDs for
visual alerts. Any unit can be configured as a master unit, capable of
identifying and announcing which specific unit has been triggered.
For enhanced communication, an optional IP Bridge can be
integrated into the system, allowing email and SMS alerts to be sent
to designated recipients. SMS functionality requires a Twilio account.
Upon activation of the Fire button, all units will broadcast a pre-
recorded alert message, with the master unit identifying the source
of activation. In the case of a First-Aid alert, only the activated unit
and the master unit will sound, though all units can relay the wireless
signal across the site.
