Emergency Systems – Fire Alarm / Mass Notification, LED Display Alerting System
The system installed here is part of the overall Edwards EST3-60 Fire Alarm / Mass Notification System throughout the campus. We are utilizing an existing fiber optic backbone to communicate via IP switches and VOIP for all emergency communications. It has Fireworks Graphical User Display (GUI), EST3 with voice, Signature Series, and Genesis Signals. It has speakers throughout the campus to direct students and staff during an emergency such as Fire Alarm, Severe Weather, Intruder Threat, and Hazardous Disaster.
The emergency alarm system installed is integrated to the Edwards EST3-60 Fire Alarm/Mass Notification System. This system will notify emergency personnel via an audible and visual notification on a Fireworks Graphical User Interface of an impending emergency.
The LED Display Alerting System is integrated to the campus’ entire life safety system to act as one simultaneous alerting system. Each LED display is strategically placed to notify the students, staff, and visitors on the campus of the impending emergency.
