Advanced Wins Innovation Award for PerfectSync Emergency Communication System

PerfectSync, which automatically synchronises audio, voice and strobe signals across Advanced’s Axis AX fire alarm networks, has won a prestigious innovation award.

Advanced’s emergency communications system won the Fire and Life Safety Innovation Award at the 2015 ESX Show in Baltimore, US, which recognises innovative design and products that help security and life safety professionals do their job more effectively.

In response to changing conditions PerfectSync synchronises audio and visual signals across multiple notification zones, floors and areas to prevent confusion in an emergency situation and meet intelligibility standards.

The system uses distributed, digital amplifiers supported by back-up amplifier and power source and supporting up to 16 messages. Messages can be programmed easily from a library or created manually.

Message activation and control can be automatic or manual.

Live notifications/paging can be delivered through microphones or fire wardens’ telephones. Upon completion of paging, recorded messages restart and play the full message.

Audio messages and strobes are fully synchronised without special wiring or programming. Should a fire spread to an adjacent floor or area, audio and visual indicators respond immediately and audio messages quickly synchronize with any identical audio message on the system.

“I’d like to thank all of the engineered system distributors, engineering and consulting firms, AHJs and regulatory officials from all across the country that contributed to the specifications that drove the design of PerfectSync,” said Mike Troiano, President and CEO of Advanced in the US.

“The end result is a technologically advanced, easy to use audio and visual communications system that improves life safety for all of the occupants of a building in an emergency situation.”
