Emergency Communicatio
From Localized Emergencies to Global Events
– Inform Everyone.
In a wide scale emergency, keeping people informed is critical to keeping them safe. Notifying more people
of a dangerous and potentially life threatening situation can prevent further injuries and save more lives.
Such situations require an emergency communications system to broadcast live, up-to-the minute emergency
information to everyone in a building, campus, or multiple facilities spread across a city, state…even the globe.
Distributed Digital Voice Evacuation
Digital Voice Command (DVC) systems can be distributed throughout multiple buildings and linked together via the NOTI-FIRE-NETTM intelligent
network. Each system can operate independently in case of a building-specifi c emergency, or cohesively as part of a unifi ed emergency
communications system for large-scale emergencies. Using the DVC command center, authorized personnel can distribute emergency voice
messages to an entire campus or just to specifi c areas. Applications include Universities, High Rise Buildings, Corporate Campuses,
Industrial Facilities, Chemical and Utility Plants, Ports, Mass Transit Hubs, Sports Arenas, and Government Complexes.
Worldwide Emergency Notifi cation
over IP Technology
NOTIFY-IP uses voice over IP technology to send live, direct voice instructions for
preserving life and property throughout a large facility, campus, or multiple facilities
across the world. Within seconds, facilities all over the world can be notifi ed of a potential or existing emergency. Activation of NOTIFY-IP is simple; the operator selects
the desired paging location(s), clicks the “Start Paging” button, and speaks into the
microphone with the appropriate emergency message. Applications include Global
Corporations, Industrial Facilities, Chemical and Utility Plants, Ports, Mass
Transit Hubs, Sports Arenas, and Government Complexes.

Advanced Detection
IntelliQuadTM PLUS – Combination
Smoke / Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector
NOTIFIER’s IntelliQuadTM PLUS detector is a plug-in, addressable device that provides both fi re and Carbon
Monoxide (CO) detection. For fi re, the detector combines four separate sensing elements in one unit (smoke, CO,
infrared, and heat) to sense multiple components of a fi re. This approach has enhanced sensitivity to real fi re
with heightened immunity to nuisance particulate. For CO, the detector’s electrochemical sensing cell creates
a separate signal for life safety CO detection. When used together with our addressable sounder base, you
can replace as many as four separate devices for a cleaner and more effi cient installation.
IntelliQuadTM – The Ultimate Multi-criteria Detector
IntelliQuadTM senses smoke particulates, carbon monoxide (CO), heat, and infrared signatures simultaneously
to determine the presence of a fi re condition. Sensor readings are continually evaluated against one another,
allowing the detector to operate normally with high immunity to nuisance conditions, while quickly responding
to true alarm events.
AcclimateTM – Self-optimizes, Senses Heat and Smoke
The AcclimateTM Plus detector combines thermal and photoelectric technologies into a single device.
It constantly monitors ambient heat and particulate conditions, adjusting sensitivity parameters and
alarm thresholds automatically to maximize detection across a broad range of fi re types.
VIEWTM Laser Detector – Super Sensitive
Spot-type Detection
The VIEWTM laser smoke sensor is programmable to be up to 100 times
more sensitive than standard photoelectric smoke detection technology.
TM
VIEW
is ideal for critical applications where even a trace of undetected
smoke is unacceptable or where high air fl ows can make traditional
smoke detectors ineffective.
Aspirating Smoke Detection – Early
Warning in Challenging Environments
Intelligent Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology® (FAAST) provides early warning
of an impending fi re hazard. FAAST can buy time to investigate an alarm and initiate
an appropriate response to prevent injury, property damage, or business disruption.
With a wide sensitivity range and multi-level warnings, even minute levels of smoke
can be detected before a fi re has time to escalate. Connect the unit to the building’s
Ethernet portal to provide access and monitoring from anywhere in the world.

Gas and Flame Detection
Fully Integrated Gas
and Flame Detection
Almost anywhere that people gather for work or leisure,
indoors or out, there is a potential risk of exposure to toxic
or fl ammable gases. Whether it is a school, dormitory, offi ce
building, shopping center, swimming pool, manufacturing plant
or warehouse, it is important to protect people, and to comply
with legal requirements for gas monitoring. In addition to
protecting building occupants, gas detection systems can
also prevent untimely and costly business disruptions.
An Added Level of Protection
With over 60 years experience leading the fi re alarm industry, NOTIFIER understands life safety. Hazardous and toxic gases are present in virtually
every commercial environment and can threaten the safety of building occupants. That’s why NOTIFIER offers a comprehensive suite of gas detection
products for a wide range of commercial and industrial environments—all of which integrate seamlessly with our proven life safety systems.
Programmable Event Threshold Maximizes Flexibility
The FMM-4-20 module is user programmable for up to fi ve different event thresholds, which are based on the concentration level of the gas being
monitored. When the gas reaches a designated threshold, the NFS2-3030 system responds by executing the appropriate pre-programmed response.
Events can be individually labeled as any one of the following conditions: Fire, Security, Supervisory, Non-Fire Trouble, Pre-Alarm, Non-Fire, and
Critical Process.
The Need for Flame Detection
While the use of heat and smoke detection covers many traditional applications,
the addition of fl ame detection offers a higher level of protection in critical, highrisk and high-value installations. Honeywell’s Fire Sentry series of fl ame detectors
includes a broad offering of industry leading fl ame detection options, providing
solutions for everything from safe areas to harsh and high risk applications
…and everything in between. Regardless of the area you’re protecting
- boiler rooms, paint booths, fuel storage / refueling facilities, gas and oil
production facilities, or aircraft hangars – Honeywell’s Fire Sentry series
of fl ame detectors has the right product for the job.
