NOTIFIER FireVoice-25/50ZS Zoned System Voice Evacuation Control Panel

General

The NOTIFIER FireVoice-25/50 Zoned System (NFV-25/50ZS) is a state-of-the-art Emergency Voice Evacuation Panel (EVAC) capable of splitting 25 or 50 watts of audio power into up to eight speaker circuits (zones). It records five field-programmable messages (up to 60 seconds total duration) using an integral commercial-grade emergency communications microphone or an external audio source. Key enhancements include full supervision in active alarm and standby conditions, supervision of amplifier outputs, field wiring, message generator, tone generators, and the microphone. The integral power supply can charge up to 18 AH batteries housed within the cabinet.

The NFV-25/50ZS is suitable for use as an adjunct (slave or stand-alone) to most UL-Listed Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). An optional 25 watt, 25 Vrms audio amplifier expands output to 50 watts or serves as a secondary amplifier. A 70.7 Vrms converter is available for retrofitting amplifiers.

The Zone Splitter Module (ACC-ZSM) divides audio amplifier output into up to eight speaker circuits. The Zone Page Module with Keypad (ACC-ZPMK) provides manual control of speaker circuits, status indication, and automatic control via the FACP's ACS serial link.

Field-programming options include five custom messages (fire, tornado, evacuation, hazmat, non-fire, multi-language), making the NFV-25/50ZS a versatile voice evacuation system. Suitable applications include schools, auditoriums, dormitories, theaters, restaurants, places of worship, lodging, office buildings, and factories.
