ExitPoint™
Directional Sounder
with Voice Messaging
Triggered by existing fire detection systems, directional
sounders positioned at carefully chosen locations guide
building occupants along escape routes and to perimeter
building exits.
Features
• Listed to UL 464 and ULC S524 (indoor applications only)
• Designed to effectively guide occupants along escape routes in
unfamiliar surroundings or in areas with poor visibility
• Includes five field-selectable power settings
• Reduces evacuation times by as much as 75 percent
• Includes four field-selectable routing evacuation patterns
• Works in open areas, corridors and stairs
• Provides fifteen different language selections
• Provides an optional disable feature for use in conjunction with a
control module or heat sensor
• Has a compact design with a low profile
The ExitPoint directional sounder model PF24V has an integral audio
amplifier that produces a pulsating sound consisting of broadband
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 message or other audible signals. These
messages instruct occupants of the correct action to take as they
approach the directional sounder, and enables them to react quickly
and confidently 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 PF24V 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, medium-low, and
low. Its low profile compact design and its ability to flush mount in
a 4˝ × 4˝ × 2¼˝ back-box provide installation ease and pleasing
aesthetics.
ExitPoint directional sounders, fitted in addition to normal building
evacuation sounders, draw people to evacuation routes in both good
and poor visibility. The PF24V 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. NFPA 72 provides installation
and maintenance guidelines on directional sounders.
