General
The
ExitPoint™ Directional Sounder has an integral audio
amplifier that produces a pulsating sound consisting of broad-
band 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 mes-
sage or other audible signals. These messages will instruct the
occupants of what action to take as they approach the direc-
tional sounder, and will allow them to react quickly and confi-
dently 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.
