Description
The FireFinder XLSV is a digital Emergency Voice Alarm
and Communication System designed to be used as a part
of the Siemens Fire Safety FireFinder XLS Life Safety
System. Its operation is fully integrated with the
FireFinder XLS and programmed via a Windows laptop
computer.
The system will respond rapidly to either automatic or
manual commands from system logic or switch modules
located on the command console(s). Digital Audio signals
such as Evacuation 1, Evacuation 2, Alert 1, Alert 2, or page
can be routed to any number of speaker circuits. A wide
selection of microcontroller controlled tones with backup
are available. One or more speaker and strobe circuits can
be mapped to switches though the Zeus Windows based
programming software. Switches can be used to manually
activate or deactivate any zone. Through the use of multicolor LEDs a clear indication is provided showing which
zones are active and linked to which audio channel.
The Live Voice Module (LVM) includes a dynamic microphone with push-to-talk switch and ready-to-page indicator
light along with a small local speaker and volume control
for monitoring audio signals. An optional pre-announce
tone is also available.
In addition, the XLSV meets current NFPA code requirements by providing another two digital audio channels
available for background music and convenience paging.
As an option, the system can provide a Firefighter's
Telephone that can provide both an "acknowledge" tone and
a busy signal. Clear indication is provided at the command
console as to which telephone zones are active. The
Firefighter's Master Telephone provides a red master
telephone with retractable coil cord and push-to-talk button.
