State-of-the-art evacuation system

Notifier has announced the availability of its XPIQ quad intelligent audio transponder, an advanced voice evacuation system.

The XPIQ is an integrated, multichannel audio amplification and distribution subsystem remotely controlled by a fire alarm control panel through a signalling line circuit.

By using a software program and internal switching capabilities, the XPIQ eliminates the need for relays and complex wiring during installation and is compatible with Notifier's complete line of voice evacuation intelligent fire alarm panels. As a result, the XPIQ handles all the switching easily with less wiring.

The XPIQ's multichannel audio system is capable of playing up to four distinct audio messages simultaneously. It includes a background music input terminal block which allows the same speaker system to be used for background music, complete with a 10-position background music volume-control switch.

Other features include: four amplifier slots; up to four continuously supervised 25 W amplifiers; two independent user-configurable tone generators either for riser back-up or as a main tone source; ground fault detection; and a serial port for configuration download from a PC.
